Lazy

That's it. I am lazy. I've let myself get out of the loop and I've become a lazy person.

I've received several emails over the last few weeks from friends out there in the Diabetes OC wondering about me. Many of you have contacted me to make sure I was okay since it had been so long since I had posted anything. I am blessed to have friends like you. But please, rest assured, that I am okay. I'm just lazy.

I've been working from home a lot lately. I'm lucky in that I have this option available to me. My company has supplied me with a laptop that I can take home and work from there whenever I want. This is a good thing for many reasons - saving gas, commute time, etc. But unfortunately, I also find that it has contributed to my laziness. You see, when I go into the office, I have to walk a ways from my parking garage to my office building; sometimes my co-workers and me go out for lunch so we walk several blocks to get something to eat; I usually run errands on my way home and do a lot of walking then. So I get some exercise when I go to the office.

But when I work at home, the only exercise I get is walking 10 feet to the laundry room to put in a load of laundry. Other than that, I sit on my rear and work at my computer all day. I also seem to be getting lax with taking all my vitamins when I'm at home. I do make sure I take my prescription meds, but I don't bother with the vitamins. More laziness.

Also, since I'm not out and about very much, I don't have much to say. I don't get much social interaction throughout the day to give me ideas on things to write about. My dogs sleep all day and don't have much to say to help me with ideas either. I guess that's a good thing, though. If my dogs start talking to me, I'm in big trouble. LOL!

The only thing that doesn't seem to be affected by me working at home is my diabetes. It's going pretty well. I get so engrossed in my work that I haven't been snacking and I almost forget to eat lunch. So my diabetes is good and I'm not gaining weight. These are two things that concerned me when I was considering working from home. So far - so good.

But I need to figure out a way to work from home and still get some social interaction, some exercise, some ideas, etc. I just didn't realize how much my working at the office stimulated my brain on so many levels. Most of my friends are at the office & my kids are all grown up so I don't have little kids to chase around, I have lazy dogs, etc. So I've become lazy, too.

Thanks to all of you who have inquired to make sure I was okay. I am OK - just lazy.
