Don't stress

I wrote my CDE yesterday asking if she had any helpful hints that would help me not stress over not getting enough blood for my meter - and she basically told me not to stress about it. Hmm, that was helpful. Wish I knew HOW to do that. Week 2 begins - still with my period and still with higher numbers.

On a good note, I treated myself to a massage yesterday with Anna. She definitely has the gift of touch - it was probably one of the best massages I've had. After having had ones that I'd consider very "new age" - it was so nice to have Anna saying blessings and pray over me. It was definitely a treat and very nice for my weary, pin-pricked body.
