Last Tuesday, October 4th, my world got tipped upside down. Governor Nikki Haley called for a voluntary evacuation of the sea islands and Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester Counties as Hurricane Matthew approached.
I left early on Wednesday morning. I spent 11 hours in my car give or take a few minutes and made it as far as London, KY. Mind you while I tried to eat well on the road, it really wasn't working for me. Thursday saw me another ten or so hours driving. I landed in Clarkston, Michigan just after my significant other got home from work. I was so tired of the car I left everything in it and used his phone to call my mom and let her know I had safely arrived.
I could watch the wind and rain from the security camera on my alarm system, so knew how the front of my house was faring. Pretty much just the monsoon rains like from Floyd last year. I was smart enough to buy on high ground. So, I'm not in a flood zone. All the other areas around me cannot say the same.
Needless to say my diet has been completely messed up and it will remain so for the next couple of weeks. I knew when my power went out as my security system let me know it had gone to back up power. I knew on Sunday when the power came back, because once again I could see the view from my security camera.
I was messaged early today by my neighbor, my house has sustained no damage. He will keep an eye on it while I remain in Michigan to deal with some personal things. Once I am home again I will deal with getting myself back on track. Look for me to start posting again.
The results have been so good, I am no longer on the night time injectable insulin. I am maintaining well enough to remain off it.

Blessings amidst the stress of the present time! You chose wisely in your house purchase and it remained unharmed in the storm. You also were wise enough to have a security system which gives you great peace of mind. You made it safely to Michigan after a horribly long drive, I've done that, it leaves you wiped out. And you no longer need nightly insulin shots! Always something to be thankful for. I know you will come home ready to tackle that healthy eating thing once again, and you will succeed! XOXO
ReplyDeleteJosie Two Shoes, thank you for showing my the accomplishments and giving me faith in myself. Sometimes I forget just what I have done.
