What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?

Oh my. Where to start. This blog is called Sweet & Sassy because I am diabetic and slightly cheeky. Or bold. I'm pretty easy-going most of the time. Just don't fire me up, LOL.

So much is happening in my life right now. I'll be moving soon, out of necessity. I guess I'm OK with it, since I really don't have a choice. It will be a smaller place and I'm hoping it will be cozy and not cramped. I've already started getting rid of things that I don't need or want.

It is so difficult trying to survive when life throws you a curve-ball. My financial situation has drastically changed with no notice. Surprise. I'm scrambling and doing things I never thought I would do just to make it. It's amazing how much you can give up in an instant and what you will make do with simply because you have to. The best thing is that my daughter, Sarah, has no idea of how desperate things are.

I have diabetes type 2, and was diagnosed in January 2012. It's not an easy road. I'm not eating the things that I should. I can't afford the healthy foods I am supposed to eat. I am still testing my blood sugar several times per day and for the most part the numbers are good. Not sure why because I don't have nearly enough fruit and vegetables and protein. Cheap foods make me feel awful. Thankfully Sarah eats at school and has dinner with her aide during the week.

My moods are all over the place. I get frustrated easily and want to give up. I ran out of my celexa and I can tell it's affecting me adversely. I suppose I'll get some next month. On the first of the month it will all come together or will all fall apart. Many bills are due at that time and I don't know if I'll have enough to pay them. We shall see.
