It was geocaching that got me out to some of the state parks and local nature preserves. I don't do as much during the colder weather, but always look forward to picking it up in spring again. If you haven't experience geocaching, you should give it a try!

A combination of illnesses and stress and other things make it really hard to manage my diabetes. It was after 37 low blood sugars in 2 weeks (and more than 60 in a month) that I really pushed to get the CGMS. I got really lucky that my insurance company is one of the first to agree to pay for my CGMS system and supplies. Thank goodness for that stressful job that gives me good insurance!

Very interesting what you do at Random House. I have had Content Management responsibilities in the past, but never at the level of a publishing company: must be pretty hectic!

So double-kudos on that A1C with the level of stress that you must be under typically.
