All the changes I've made with my diet and how I exercise have started to pay off; my latest round of blood tests show my cholesterol is finally dropping a bit. That's not the really great news, however: my A1C came in at 6.0. It was 6.7 the last time I was tested, before the holidays last year. Normal (non-diabetic) A1C is 5.8. So my diabetes doc will be very happy with my numbers.
That may also explain why I've been so tired and feel like crap. When you have a lot of sugar in your blood it makes you hyper and acts as a pain insulator. I am running extra-low these days.
A thought occurred to me as I started preparing to wash the fabric from my Goodwill bonanza bag: I've been hunting at various thrift stores for a object I can upcycle this year. Fate just dropped 39 yards of expensive fabric in my lap. Rather than just add it to my stash, it could be a very decent challenge to try to make something out of all of the yardage this year, and let that be my thrift upcycle challenge. :)
