anxiousI only did about two-thirds of my usual loop, heading up to the shopping center at the top of the hill and buying a bag of cashews and other things I plan to take with me on my train trip tomorrow.
I've been testing my blood sugar a bit more often than the twice-a-day prescribed, particularly during periods of fluctuation like today. Unfortunately, that means that I'll run out of test strips on January 3 (assuming I stick to twice-a-day testing) but cannot re-order strips until January 9 due to my insurance coverage. So I considered today buying a vial of strips out of my own pocket. (You don't need a prescription to buy meter strips; you just need one if you want your insurance to pay for it.)
Yikes! $53 for fifty strips! No wonder the meters are (usually, sometimes after mail-in rebate) free!
If I'm going to buy more strips, I'm going to have to wait until after January 1 when my healthcare spending account recharges.

Meanwhile, as I'll be working from home (including Oregon) from tomorrow through next week, I'm now in the process of doing a "flag transfer" from the desktop machine to my personal laptop. That ought to use up the rest of the afternoon.
