Lie to Me Again!

Back at the end of April I decided to rewatch Love Me Love My Voice, a super squeaky clean romance drama series that featured a lot of great singing and very little romance to speak of. I thought I might have been a little too harsh in my original review, but all the points I made are still true. I was quite tired of super angsty conflict-filled dramas at that time, so it was like taking a nice little vacation.

I think with second rewatches of dramas I'm always more forgiving, especially with those I had problems with the first time. I know what to expect, maybe, and can focus on the better details. This drama has a super sweet, very slow burn romance between the leads that is draggy and uber Edwardian, but it's restful to watch the characters fall in love by tiny degrees. They both did a great job with their parts, too. I'm still more inclined to say the secondary romance is better than the leads, but that's because of Hou Wen Yuan, who steals every scene he's in. I might look up more of his work; he was really good in this drama.

My other motive in rewatching this series is my hearing, which is rapidly declining now. I wanted to listen to the songs (such as I can) one more time, and they're still lovely and very well performed. I'll especially remember the duet the leads sang for "Return to You." Gorgeous song.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Journal Find

This is a page from my 2010 poetry journal. My handwriting isn't the best, so I'll transcribe it: If my heart survives to tell all the secrets kept inside it will be an abalone shell in which the beauty did reside. But I think I will always be lost to the tides that rage in me . . . humbling and polishing . . . I don't write many self-portrait poems, but this one isn't too embarrassing. A bit overly dramatic, but the girl I was eleven years ago went through some tough times. I'm in a much more peaceful place today.

The Numbers

Back in March my diabetes doctor changed my medication and encouraged me to alter my diet and exercise more in order to bring down my A1C, which at the time tested out at a dismal 8.3 (normal is 5.8.) So for the next two months I dealt with the increased meds, stuck to my decidedly grim diet and added a lot more walking to my exercise regime. P.S., it's never fun to be a diabetic, but over the last couple of months I've really tried to keep a good attitude about it. Attitude isn't everything, but it helps a lot when you have to make significant changes while battling a disease like this. Yesterday I performed a home A1C test, and I'm currently at 6.5. That's pretty amazing results, even for me. If I can get it down another half point before I see the doctor in July I'd be over the moon, but I feel like I've already done great.
