What an odd day

Last night I had a nice bowl of spicy tofu soup with seafood, some kimchi, some bean sprouts, and some zucchini as panchan. I checked my blood sugar about an hour later; it was 117.

Not bad. Actually, that's in the normal zone.

I did some mild exercise. Later that night, I snuck a bite of broccoli and chicken, and a few pieces of finger jello. This was around 9 pm.

I got up this morning, and my fasting blood sugar was 116. What? Come on! Again, not terrible, but it should be under 100!

Anyway, I had two boiled eggs for breakfast. For lunch I made two salad rolls (mache, bean sprouts, chicken, in a tapioca spring roll skin) and had a few pieces of finger jello. Blood sugar at 4:30 pm: 106.

Why the hell is my afternoon blood sugar lowerthan my fasting? Did I get up in the middle of the night and eat?

Hmph!

A parent had some catered lunches; she bought me a salad, which I brought home to eat for dinner. It was a cob salad (yum!) but I threw out the thousand island dressing and dressed it with vinegar and oil. I also threw out the gooey caramel brownie and the roll. Sigh! I did not throw out the apple, in fact I'm eating it RIGHT NOW. I'll check blood sugar again later to see what kind of damage an apple does.

It's a small apple! Not as small as the plastic apple that the fracking nutritionist showed me.

I will not eat past 8pm tonight; maybe tomorrow morning I will be under 100.

I told the dean about my plan to go to China in the fall of 2008; she was annoyed. She said she'd write me a bad recommendation, so that I wouldn't leave! Ha ha.

I asked the Hangzhou program people twice now if I could pay most of the program fee now, and another $1000 after my May paycheck, two weeks after the payment deadline. They haven't answered either email, so I'm assuming that's their passive-aggressive way of saying "no."

I would appreciate it so much more if they just said "no," rather than giving me the silent treatment.

Mass with the Archbishop tomorrow. I think I'm going to go buy some pants.

There is a half-cup of artificially sweetened mint chocolate chip ice cream in my future tonight.

UPDATE: I didn't end up buying pants. Or shoes. Not sure what I'll wear tomorrow.

Nobody noticed my haircut today.
