Gardening can be scary. These are my "carrots" which I harvested the other day (soaking in the sink). Um, they don't quite look like carrots I usually eat....hmmm.... Posted by Picasa

So he left and I did it and it was nothing! The needles that they gave me are tiny. It hurts far less than prick #4 of the day for the BG testing. It goes in, you count to six while holding down the trigger, you take it out. I had a tiny bit of blood and some itchiness afterwards but I think that's normal. This morning's injec...
