Morning start

Alarm clock goes off at 6:30 in my ear. Groan, roll over, look at time, and go back to sleep.

Weke up, look at time, realize it's 7:00 and I better get up. I've got to be out of the house by 7:30 to either walk to the Quay or catch the bus.

Get up, test. 3.6 (65 mg/dl). Groan. Eat a few Rockets and go in shower.

Get out of shower, check the time: 7:30. CRAP! Get dressed quickly. Forego breakfast and rush out the door.

Walk down Lonsdale, passing Starbucks without getting a coffee. Check my cell phone when I'm close to the Quay: 7:59. I've missed not one but two SeaBuses. CRAP!

Go in the next Starbucks I find since the SeaBus doesn't come for another fifteen minutes. Get a coffee. Decide not to bolus for it since it's sugar-free.

Get to Quay. Check the time: 8:13. I've just barely made the next SeaBus! Rush to get on.

Purse gets caught on turnstyle. When I realize I'm not going to be able to get through forwards I try to back up, only to realize that the metal bars don't go backwards. Horrified images of a transit worker having to help me get unstuck from the turnstyles and the SeaBus being made to wait flash through my mind. I somehow maneuver in desperation and get myself unstuck.

SeaBus ride is uneventful. Check blood sugar to make sure I'm not low from walking: 5.8 (104 mg/dl). SkyTrain ride is uneventful other than for my missed meal bolus alert going off. Rockets aren't the most satisfying breakfast ... Trying to think up how I'm going to tell my boss about why I'm half an hour late ...

Get to the bus stop. Get on the waiting bus. Two seconds later, my boss climbs on!

Guess who else slept in? Ha. We had a laugh over that one.

I am now 9.2 (166 mg/dl), possibly from not bolusing for my 15g sugar-free vanilla latte. I should probably go get something from the cafeteria to eat ... I was planning on being all organized and packing snacks and lunches for today, but that never got done last night. I think I'm still in vacation mode.
