Escapism

My blood sugar has been all over the place today, and not sure why... started off fine most of the day, then a bit low in the afternoon, high after dinner, and then -- after what I thought was enough insulin to cover -- it came crashing down.  Alas.  Now I have to snack... enough to not go low again, but not too much that I spike again... and the way the day has gone... oi.  There are days when diabetes is a hot mess.  I think stress is the main cause, as stuff is just meh lately...

Went to a fundraiser/informational fest today sponsored by the Diocese about the history of the Church in Cleveland.  Interesting, sort of; I think I prefer a little more academic stuff, but that is me... that said, parts of it were fascinating, such as the immense workload the early priests had -- traveling across all of northern Ohio, dealing with parishes that they may not understand (due to the language) or that they may not like (due to ethnicity).  And, all of this was done with a shortage of priests, resources, buildings, etc.; sort of like now, in a way, save for the fact that we may have too many buildings now...  of course, this reminded me I need to leave something for the parish.  The venue -- the West Side Irish American Club -- was mostly nice, but the toilet seats in the men's room... well, let's just say that they had not been cleaned since St. Patrick's Day.  It did remind me of Ireland...

Actually, on the way home I did reflect on the fact that the West Side and East Side Irish -- despite a history of rivalry -- manage to work together and put forth a parade, etc... of course, us Polacks cannot even pull off one celebration for the upcoming Polish Constitution Day fest.  Mind you, I could get involved, or try to get some other people from church and the Polish community involved, and try to put Humpty Dumpty together, but...the last thing I need is something else to do, and considering the last time I helped out with one of the groups I almost got walking pneumonia... methinks I will pass.
