My body, the test tube Symptoms and Causes of Low Blood Sugars and Insulin Reactions Well, tonight I was going about my business, when the following happened:
shaking, irritability, headace, hungar, blurred vision, numbness of the lips, fast heart rate, sudden tiredness, and poor concentration. Yup, LOW BLOOD SUGAR. As soon as the shaking started I ran for my old friend...oj. I hate this when it happens. I lost 60 freaken pounds to prevent this from happening,and yet it still does. I would like to blame something, but I think I can only blame myself. I guess it is time for me to realize that I am NOT in control of everything. I HAVE to eat, regularly. I am not like "normal" people...... stupid genes.

Well, I am starting to get used to "being by myself". It is weird how being totally isolated from all your friends and family can make you aware of who you are and what you want......

My project at work is going now. I finally stopped being "the girl who plays around with the new antibodies" to the "girl who works on morphine receptor knockout tumor samples". Both are basically the same thing, except I have to pay more attention to my pictures with the second title. I have to bake more cookies for the people at work, since Mark and Sil didn't get them yesterday. I don't think it will be a problem, since I am EXTREMELY bored (another sign I had low blood sugar, I called Hemant and told him I was "fucking bored". I hardly ever swear, and yet tonight it's like I have Tourettes syndrome!).

I was tempted to buy a mandolin today. There is something about having 3-4 hours of free time a night that compells me to play music. Unfortunately I don't have my bass, my favorite instrument, or my clarinet. I could play piano, but I am so out of practice.

Three days until Vancouver. I hope that I do well with my poster. It should be fun.

Today is Karen's 21st birthday.  I wish I could have been there for her.  When I called her she was at the liquor store buying who know what.   She was hesitant to take my suggestion of Bailey's or of Honeyweiss.   

Well, I am basically sitting here waiting for Hemant to call back or for Matt to call.   Maybe I could make it a contest between the two....... but what would the winner get?   Actually, my low blood sugar has made me very tired, so I think I will turn off my phone and go to bed.   I don't owe anyone apologies for taking care of myself.
