So today as I'm waiting for my dad to drive me in to work, a little girl, Latino, dressed to the nines in a nice black skirt and shirt and carrying a pink vinyl backpack, pauses in front of me and asks me where 1802 Hilliard Road is, because that's where her bus stop should be. It's her first day at her new junior high school, and she's not sure ( Read more... )

Hrm. Blood sugar was 150 this morning. Apparently when I eat white bread with dinner, my blood sugar is high the next morning. I suppose this means I will have to curb the impulse. Generally I prefer whole wheat or sprouted grain bread, anyway, so I suppose this is good to know.
