Yesterday was a GREAT day for me, I took all my meds that morn along with my fast acting insulin & all through out the day, I never seen it get past 200 I was surprised. I took my sugar test through out the day & it stayed in the 1's JUST BARELY getting into the 2's I was excited that I could see things working like the dr's want them to. I just hope I can keep it up as long as I can & make the Dr happy when the time comes for me to go see him on the 24th & 26th (2 different dr's) & I can keep this going. I got to 135 by late noon & felt rough, sluggish, tired, so I took me a 4 hr nap & it helped a little but still felt tired so I had me a buscuit hubby had made & that helped. So I guess that means I can't get TOO low in my sugar cause that's not the 1st time I've felt that bad like that 1st time was cause I didn't eat anything most the day. I have a dr's appt Tuesday, for some test they have to do & Wens we have some running around to get done & make a day out of it, & MAYBE go to get the PANALLING for the kitchen for the cabin, lets pray. I seen while I was taking a shower yesterday that since we put the VAPOR barrier up on the cealing of the cabin, the mice have started pulling all the insulation out & have mice droppings on the barrier So we HAVE to get something DONE or it's not going to be worth a FLIP if we don't, DAMMIT I'm so TIRED of waiting to get things done it's slap KILLING me from getting out there & doing it myself . . . KNOWING I can't, what am I to do?

Well Gayle, how nice that you had a good day and I hope those continue. It's sure frustrating when you want things done and can't do them yourself. I can relate.

First, you'll need to get rid of the mice. I'm very happy for you keeping to the 100s.

Those dagnabbed mice are going to be at war with you very soon, if they aren't already. As for the worth of the cabin, one wonders if you intend to live there forever, what the equity is worth since you won't see a dime of it anyway?

@2ndchances24 That's what I am saying though. If you plan to die in it, what it is worth to you is nothing in terms of equity because you will never collect it. So, in that way, "value" is less important. It may matter to who you pass it down to. But you're just throwing money at a zero sum gain EXCEPT that putting any money into it makes it more LIVEABLE. But that should be the only consideration. Not necessarily what you could sell it for because ultimately you will never sell it nor benefit from the sale. lol In other words, the only consideration that makes sense is it being liveable, not to make it more valuable ultimately. Spending money to make it liveable makes sense. Spending money to make it worth more does not. Hope that makes sense.

Not a plug Nickle from what I see, the way things are right now but YEAH I PLAN on living in it for the rest of my life 4-REAL. It's the closet thing I have to being in a REAL home that I've always wanted & 24x24 size cabin is as good as I can get.
