James and I slept in this morning. He was up before I was which is highly unusual. I slept until 8:00, something I rarely do, of course I rarely go to bed at midnight.

This first thing we did this morning was have our prayers, Book of Mormon study, and "Come Follow Me" study. I noticed my upper arms were especially sore and achy this morning. I was reminded of the fact that Dr. Kumar said I could call and schedule cortisone shots and that gave me some comfort.

We had clouds and promise of rain but we actually got very little, rain that is. We had planned on going to the temple today but I cancelled our appointment. I was just too tired and needed a day just to stay home and rest. I told James we would go next Tuesday or Wednesday. 

I haven't taken my blood sugar for a very long time. My monitor broke and the new one I ordered doesn't fit my phone so I had to order another one. I used it for the first time today and was shocked. My blood sugar was 195!! That is way to high. Of course it might be because I ate two pieces of garlic toast this afternoon. I took some Berberine and waited an hour and took it again. This time it was 124, almost in normal range. James took his, it was 86 which is just about perfect. I must cut back on my carbs. I also had ice cream today and that wrecks havoc on blood sugar if you are pre-diabetic. I didn't have anything to eat after 4 o'clock today so hopefully I am back to normal in the morning. 

I had stomach cramps this evening so instead of working on my blog I sat down and watched a movie called "Someone Like You." James joined me about half way through. We both loved it. 

When James feeds the horses in the morning he feeds Apollo first and then Luna. Apollo hurries and finishes his food and then goes over and takes the rest of Luna's on a typical day. Today James locked him in the stable and left thinking he would go back in a few minutes and let him out. He forgot and it was passed noon we he let him out. So sad...but he deserves to be taken down a notch the naughty horse!

Tom slept on James's side of the bed tonight.
