So there it was, merry christmas. All done for this year. At least round these parts.<\/p>\n
It was a nice, little evening. With my brother and parents. A nice dinner and chitchat about how things are going. Diabetes and MasterCard and lambs and eyesight. I even got the almond in the ris-a-la-mande. In my second mouthful. Normally that would mean I won a prize. But my dad forgot to buy one. Usually the prize is chocolate , so that wouldn’t have been good anyway. But he promised to get me some sugarfree cookies. Apparently there is a cookie shop downtown. Their sugarfree cookies are quite nice. I wonder if the cookie monster shops in the cookie shop? Or maybe since he’s a monster he just barges in and takes what he wants. I don’t know. I just like the idea of a whole shop dedicated to cookies. Maybe it is next door to the liquorice shop and the lollypop shop. On Candy Boulevard in my high dreams.<\/p>\n
What loot did I get this year, you might inquire? I got myself Lost season 4. The Don Rosa Hall of Fame number 7. And two 5kg handweights. All things I had wished for, so I’m quite happy with that. Although the Don Rosa book hadn’t arrived yet, so I’ll have to wait for that to come. I’ll also be getting a magnifying glass with light, you can put it on your head and read when you’re almost as blind as I almost am. So that will be nice. And the weights are for building up a little arm muscle strength, now that I’m working on the legs so much. I feel pretty strong in the arms, and when they measured it at the hospital there weren’t any problems either, but sometimes I sort of feel like the muscle gives out… if you know what I mean? The biceps, I guess it’s called? I noticed it when reading it bed and reaching out for my cup of soup drink (in winter) or cold soda (in summer, before diabetes). When my arm was at a certain angle I could barely lift the cup. So I don’t know. But I figure it can’t hurt to work on them muscles a little. I am aiming to become Mr Fitness 2009. Watch out Arnold Schwarzenegger.<\/p>\n
