HI HO, HI HO, IT'S OFF TO WORK I'LL GO

You may have noticed fewer postings on The Food of Love in the past two weeks. The time I usually spend surfing the blogosphere has been cut into by other responsibilities. DSO has just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and my healthy cooking needs further tweaking. And I'm about to put my Principal hat back on for a month or so having accepted an interim position in a neighboring county.

So, after thoughtful deliberation, I've come to the conclusion that The Food of Love will be on a short hiatus while I temporarily resume full time employment. I hope to visit my favorite blogs as time allows and invite you to peruse my index of previous posts when you're looking for something new to try.

I hope to return sometime in mid-April. Until then, eat what you love and love what you eat.
In Friendship,
Arlene

  1. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. I'm not very familiar with diabetes, but I do hope that it is something that is manageable. I'm sure that you will come up with wonderful meals for both him and yourself:D
    I hope it will be nice for you to go back to work for a brief time. There are definitely days where I wish I could do the same! Enjoy your time away. I will miss you dearly!

  6. Thanks, everyone, it was a hard decision to make to take a breather. My mom, who passed away 2 years ago, was diabetic, so I have some experience, but it's a daunting task. Everyone reacts differently, so there's no one diet. Learning to take his readings and adjusting the insulin will be major. I'm hoping that if he loses the 20 pounds the doctor has mandated that he can stop the insulin. Your thoughts and good wishes are appreciated and I'll still be visiting all your wonderful blogs.

  10. Gads, what a time. It's no consolation but diabetes is one of the fastest rising medical issues we are facing. I am sure that you both will find a way to live and live well with this.

    In the meantime, you shall be missed by me. I shall look forward to the time when I see you again.

    Hugs and blessings. Wishing you the best in all the seasons of your life.

  15. Dear Arlene,

    I saw that you left a comment about wanting more information on my Victorian Stitchery Retreat. I wasn't sure how else to contact you, so I am leaving you a comment. You may email me at pinkbunny@valeriebothell.com if you would like more information.

    Thanks so much,

    Val
