I got up at 4am, did Zumba, took a shower then took my blood sugar AFTER eating what I thought was well the previous day it was 380!!! YES I was ticked!!! Then I get to the temple on time OR at least I THOUGHT on time BUT really I'm an hour late. How do I suddenly think I'm supposed to be there at 6:45 for prayer meeting? I'm wondering why all these cars are there and why I can't just parallel park in the front like I usually do.

I'm late but the temple is AWESOME!!! Post 1 to start at the very front so I am greeting patrons, smiling and answering a few (2) questions the entire time I'm there. I see that extremely young veil worker there getting there AFTER 7am. He doesn't look as young as I first thought. Maybe it's the height that threw me off. I smile and greet him like all the other patrons and keep thinking he looks familiar but I don't figure it out until I greet another familiar looking guy who is another veil worker. He tells me he knows me and I finally get it. I just smile because am I even supposed to acknowledge that? I was trained NOT to communicate AT ALL through the veil and to talk to one of the veil coordinators if there's a concern. I probably can recognize that in the temple but not outside. STILL, if I encounter him or any of the other workers somewhere on the street I think I should say hi at least.

I also did the new name booth, initiatories and post 11 on the 3rd floor. There wasn't a sealing scheduled until 10 and I was there from 8 to 9am. The hardest part of that post was staying awake. I'd stand up whenever I heard someone approaching or saw the elevator would stop there BUT there were maybe 5 people who came by INCLUDING sealers the whole hour.

I  went to Walmart and was a little frustrated at what I can eat now. I bought asparagus and avocados. I bought sugarfree jello pudding and was really happy about that until I thought about carbs and if that was alright. I tried to find an answer online but then I fell asleep until 5:30. I also bought string cheese, mixed nuts and sausage mini-paties. I bought 2 bags of whole wheat English muffins. I tried to buy whole wheat bread from Crumb Brothers BUT they shocked me by telling me they "think" their rye bread and some other loaf are whole wheat BUT it was obvious they didn't really know. I left without buying anything.

Beth Webster my amazing visiting teacher asked me if I wanted a couple tickets to the institute Christmas choir concert. Now I wish I took them. She texted me when I was miserable and tired driving in the ugly freezing snow. I thanked her but said I didn't want to go outside in the cold. Now I wish I said yes. I looove Christmas concerts and I'm sure this was or is going to be amazing. There's an ugly sweater Christmas party thrown by one of the girls in my ward. I should make myself go to that. I don't own any ugly sweaters BUT I can try at least. I won't be able to eat probably ANY of the party food which ticks me off. It doesn't start until 8pm so I still have time to decide.

I want to get married BUT I haaate having to make ANY effort at all. What is my problem?
