I'm still really struggling with the loss of my Uncle and my Fathers Birthday ( always will be a rough day) I have been really working on making lists for our trip to Florida so I can try and distract myself.

I still cry over the devastating flood that happened. Such a loss of life and the babies... They found the little 2 year old boy yesterday that has been missing. I just can't imagine how the parents will move forward with out them.

We are leaving the 1st a Wednesday, I see my T at 3 then we are dropping the dogs off to be boarded. I have a list I'm writing up to give to Tina about there food and little things here and there... She is such a nice person I am not worried about leaving them with her at all.

Steve always thinks we will be able to get some sleep early afternoon or at least evening and then head out 11pm'ish.. Years of making these trips to Florida I think it has happened once.

I've told him we are packing super light, I mean we will get there on Thursday and leaving on Sunday so we don't need much at all.

I had my routine appointment with my Rheumatologist yesterday.. I really love him.. I've been having terrible hand pain when I get up that often doesn't get better for 2-3 hours then it becomes tolerable.. He told me to buy another ( I have one) arm brace its arm to wrist to finger brace to keep them straight while sleeping they are very uncomfortable and hot. But I cant really deal with such pain every day. I've not had hot joints but lots of finger joint swelling which he could easily feel. I hate the finger joint swelling I think its so ugly! Steve insists he cant see it.. So I pull out my wedding ring and show him how it wont actually go over the middle joint of my finger.. Men

I just have to say this.. I am really shocked at the lack of sugar free and low carb foods for Diabetic's.. Even foods that are sugar free when you look at the Carbs its a giant NO.. I really think that food companies need to start making more foods that are Diabetic friendly.

I really want to thank everyone for being so kind and supportive. It really means so much
