fingers crossed.

In a couple of weeks I get to go on a six week sabbatical from my job. It's one of the great perks of where I work and I'm totally excited about it. I have lot's of small adventures, art projects and blogging entries planned to pass the time in between naps and doing nothing. This will be my second sabbatical and I am really hoping that it will go better than the last one. Unfortunately, the first one was less than relaxing because of my diabetes. I was not on the pump at the time and the dramatic difference in routine from working to not working, totally threw off my control. I was up at night, chasing bloodsugars throughout the day, talking to my doctor a lot and generally miserable overall. But this time I'm on the pump and I'm hopeful. The focus of this time off is health, adventure, relaxation, strengthening (of the shoulder), walking a lot, rejuvenation and fun. I'm hopeful that I can do all those things better this time around. Fingers crossed, here I go.

That sounds just wonderful.

Best wishes - and I look forward to whatever blogging you feel compelled to do during the relaxation (even if that turns out to be none!).

wow, that's sounds like something to look forward to... can you hear the hint of jealousy in my post? lol. I hope you enjoy every moment!

I need a job like that!

Best of luck with not having to worry about crazy bloodsugars - I'm sure it will be easier with the pump. Hope you get to relax, but I also hope you blog too :)
