Future City

How would you design the city of the future?

I like parks, so I would put more of those in. I would hire a cleaning crew for each section of the city. All they would cleaning their section. This means more jobs and less trash on the ground.

Goal Planning

How do you plan your goals?

I don’t plan on paper. I think about what I want to work towards and go from there. To achieve it, stick to it. Create a drive within yourself.

Emergency Preparedness

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

I’m a diabetic, so I need to have the right food around at all times. But…when the sugar goes down (way down as it did with me) without a moments notice, the brain has a tendency to not notice the juice right in front of it. Quite literally it was right there and I didn’t notice. I told my son to call 911 (America’s emergency number for those of you who are from other countries and might not know that). In the meantime I found a candy bar, took a bite, swallowed, then collapsed. Yes, right in front of the large bottle of juice I never saw. Once on the floor, I new that, if I succumbed to losing consciousness, it meant coma or death. Neither one appealed to me so I focused on keeping my eyes open, breathing (I had to think to take a breath), and praying. When the EMTs arrived and took my blood sugar, it was determined that it was below 40. The prayers worked. I was white as a ghost…really I was.

My emergency plan is still to have plenty of foods/juices near me, but I must be more in tuned to when I must eat something. The above happened because I was being over medicated for my diabetes, as was determined by my NEW doctor. Yes, I changed doctors. Since then, 2 of the three meds I was on at the time of the above incident have been taken away, and I haven’t had any problems since.
