They even sat around and talked for an hour, which is highly unusual. I managed to have a full-blown attack of hypoglycemia while they were there, which of <i>course<\/i> would have to happen because it&#8217;s immensely alarming to my mother. I can be stable for a week, but the second my mom&#8217;s around, I&#8217;m ready to collapse. It was awesome to notice I had the cold sweats so badly that it was dripping down the legs of my jeans and onto my bare feet.<\/p>\n<p \/>Speaking of which, I have come to realize that one of the times I&#8217;m almost certain to have a blood-sugar crash is while shopping. I have absolutely no idea why that is. I like shopping. It&#8217;s not upsetting at all. It&#8217;s really bizarre. So yes, you will always find me taking measures to prevent this before heading to the mall. I&#8217;m probably the only person applying sports-nutrition principles to shopping.<\/p>\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>It freaked me out this morning when I completed and emailed my 15th monthly invoice to this company. <i>Fifteen<\/i> months. I didn&#8217;t really have any expectations about what would happen to my career after the big layoff (now almost two years into the foggy past), but I&#8217;m pretty damn happy about how things turned out. My family focuses on the &#8216;making a lot of money&#8217; part; what makes me happiest is that I have total work freedom. I remind myself of that fact every time I&#8217;m bitching about the billion dollars I pay every three months in taxes, or about how I&#8217;m going to be funding my own medical bills again.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>Free advice: If you&#8217;re trying to get help from Amazon about a non-delivered gift, perhaps do not forward them an email in which you call them &#8216;fuckers&#8217;.
