Friday is here, and I'm completing my first week as a 60-year-old. While I may be falling apart on the outside, I still feel young on the inside. It's not like any sort of second childhood thing, I've always felt young at heart.

Speaking of falling apart, I had a nasty hypoglycemia spell last night and this morning. My blood glucose dropped to 60 and it took forever to bring it back to normal. I will adjust my long-acting insulin dose before bed tonight. The lack of quality sleep kept me home today, but that isn't always a bad thing. Since I'm still recovering from last night, it is probably best that I wasn't exposed to crowds of people who might not be protecting themselves against COVID-19 and RSV.

I'm slowly adjusting to my temporary dental bridge that replaced several front teeth that had to be removed on Tuesday. I look like a hockey player when I smile without the bridge. I have 4 kintys to decide if I want implants or a permanent bridge. Vanity wants implants, but my wallet wants a bridge. Time will tell. As the swelling goes down, the bridge fits more securely, and it is actually quite comfortable.

I'm hoping for a better night's rest tonight so I can clearly focus on my writing tomorrow.
