Not too good. Sitting at my desk at work with no daylight for the next 6 more hours, I’m exhausted from extremely high blood sugars from the last 18 hours.

Also today marks 4 years since the last time I spoke to my grandmother, whom I’m missing dearly. There’s so many things I’d like to talk with her about and I miss the family I lost with her death. I wish I could turn back time and keep my promise to call her back within 2 days. She got admitted to hospital very suddenly 5 days after her birthday and died a few days later. I guess I’ll see if I can sit down at the library and write her a letter later.

Good and bad. I had a health check at work where they measured my heart, weight, glucose, blood pressure, etc. Good news is that I’m pretty fit! Cholesterol can be better but, overall, my biological age is ten years younger than my actual age. So I’m quite pleased with the results! :)

Bad part though, is that I pulled something in my back during one of the exercises and hit my knee really hard against the desk when I wanted to sit down :( On top of that the heart monitor refused to work on me for the first few attempts. The lady said she never saw anyone have this much bad luck during an exam before.
Which sounds quite typical for me, I swear I’m cursed to constantly suffer these kinds of accidents.

I didn't realize it's a US holiday this Friday, so I'm ready for 3 day weekend!
