Posting to keep journal active.

Just a few things to muse about.

The new TV season starts up in a couple of weeks! *squee!* Heroes and Lost and SN, OH MY!! <3

erestor pointed out last week that LJ/6A has made a tiny step toward clarifying their ToS agreement. Though I'm wary, I am more optmimistic about things at this point. LJ is a social thing for me. I rarely write anymore, so the only reason for me to stick around on a blog is for the chitchat. Neither GJ nor IJ have enough members to make it worth the effort of moving at this point. So...if you're going to make a permanent move to one of the alternate journals, you probably won't be seeing much of me anymore. Semagic helps with crossposting, but there's still the issue of READING the alternate F-lists, something that I regularly forget to do. Unless something dire happens, I just don't think I'll be making the move. I'll be sad to see some of you go, but you know where to find me if you need me.

Several folks on my F-list are struggling with diabetes, so I decided to go ahead and make a few comments on that topic, too. Some of you know that I have diabetes. I'm one of the freaks of nature who has Type 2 diabetes and isn't overweight. I was overweight as a child, but that probably didn't have much to do with it. Dad has Type 2, and there's evidence that there can be some genetic predisposition towards having it. Basically, it means that my body makes insulin, but it doesn't process it very well. As long as I keep my diet regulated, I don't have any issues. It's difficult though, and I wanted to let you guys know that I'm feeling your pain.

One thing that has helped for me is to plan out my meals in advance. For example, if I know I have a birthday party one afternoon, I will have eggs for breakfast and a salad with chicken for lunch so that I can use up all my carbs on cake and ice cream. Then I follow the cake with another high-protien dinner. I know it's not always easy to plan ahead, but when you can...it's worth the effort. It'll keep you from feeling like crap that night.

Mostly caught up on rpg stuff. I think I owe one post. For me, that's a minor miracle. :D

Added Azzy and CC. Anyone else who I need to add? If LJ keeps being wanky, I may post here more often. Here or GJ. Or both.

New journal. I make no promises how often I will update.
