One Of Those Days

One of those days.

It's just one of those days, let me tell you

I awoke at the hour of four

I was shaky, confused and befuddled

My sugar had fell through the floor

I ate about 4 jelly babies

And half of a cereal bar

I knew I was now out of danger

and quickly felt better by far.

I went back to sleep and dreamed sweetly

Of a win of a million or two

The alarm interrupted my spending

I felt a bit miffed, as you do.

I realised I was quite thirsty

My sugar had soared to new heights

I reached for my insulin pen

And turned on my bedside light

I got up, ate porridge for breakfast

Washed down with 2 large cups of tea

Got dressed, showered, washed hair, was ready!

For all that the day held for me.

Then dizziness came out of nowhere

A tiredness I could not suppress

I sat in my chair for a while

Determined to give in and rest..

I thought I'd just quickly view facebook

And check any emails that awaited

But the laptop refused to obey me

My plans were quite simply ill fated

So my morning passed by with frustration

And lunchtime arrived all too soon

A sandwich and healthy banana

To sustain me all afternoon

As soon as I'd eaten I knew I had erred

The pain known as bad indigestion

I don't know whats going so wrong today

But I fear that it does beg the question

Should I have decided to stay safe in bed?

Give way to my slumber and dream

For today is determined to try me

By unplanned events so extreme

That I'm wondering if I should have taken the hint

And stayed fast asleep all day long

Or would that have brought new frustrations

Would things still conspire to go wrong?

It's weird how sometimes this happens

I think I will simply erase

The annoyance and nuisance like happenings

For it's obviously one of those days
