Happiness and updates.

It’s Sunday in Howdygramland and there are millions of things to be happy about! For instance:

1. Our new bed was FABULOUS last night.
2. Sam ate two donuts for breakfast.
3. We’ve got a 40% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.
4. The Dallas Cowboys play the Washington Redskins at noon.
5. There’s leftover pizza in the refrigerator.
6. I can’t think of anything else.

And now, for those of you trying to keep up with breaking news from posts I wrote a few days ago, I’m pleased to offer the following updates.

Update #1. That gigantic carton I received from Kirkland’s (see post) did, in fact, contain a 20-inch candle runner with enough padding to ship the White House china to Mars. Ironically, I had to return the stupid thing on Thursday because it arrived BENT.

Update #2. I also plan to return the mocha-color bedskirt I bought at Bed Bath & Beyond (see post) because I couldn’t get the wrinkles out. I figured three hours was enough time to devote to this idiotic adventure and eventually just gave up. It was a crushing disappointment and one from which I may never ever recover. (I might be kidding about this.)

Update #3. Apparently I’m the victim of a “Perryesque” brain freeze where my diabetes meds are concerned. For the last six weeks I’ve been injecting the wrong dose of Victoza — 1.2 mg instead of 1.8 — which might explain why my blood sugar numbers have been a little too high. The big “holy crap” moment occurred a few hours after my appointment with Dr. M on Friday (see post) when I realized she told me to start injecting the higher dose the last time I saw her back in September. Yours truly feels like a total crackpot about this.

Sam is back at the office today, so apparently I’ll be watching the Cowboys all by myself and won’t have to share any leftovers unless y’all want to come on over and watch the game with me here in Texas. Please send an email if this appeals to you.
