The construction crew came back do to other work that is contracted to be done on my basement wall on the outside. Moisture has been coming through and the wall is starting to lean out. They ran into a situation with the gas line into my home while digging out along my house. Had to call the gas company to come and turn off my gas to the house. The gas provides heat to my house and the hot water tank. It is very COLD outside with blowing 18 MPH winds, wind chill of 26. The only saving grace right now is it is sunny. The crew is under a deadline to get my gas back on for the night as it is going down to the temperature in the 20s plus the wind making it even colder. They have to call the gas company by 4 for them to come back and turn on the gas for us to have heat tonight.
I am feeling so stressed out over this construction work being done on my house and all the problems they are running into. It is definitely affecting my blood sugar level causing it to rise rapidly to 312 then dropping quickly to 136 after my morning shot and I had forgot to eat my breakfast this morning. Ate some lunch, I am starting to feel a bit better, but not totally. Between my Raynaud’s phenomenon that affect my hands out in the cold and my arthritis in my joint and where I broke my leg this year, I am in pain. This stress is also exhausting me. I wonder how much more I can take. I know with God’s help I will make it through all this. I just don’t like how it is affecting my body. Did some deep breathing techniques to calm my nerves and sat and prayed.
I have to go back outside to constantly check on this crew. Don’t need them breaking the gas line, because I just found out from the gas company man that I am not covered under the gas company line insurance. No one from the gas company has ever mentioned about this type of insurance. If you live in the cold climate areas of the United States, be sure to ask your gas company if you are protected with this insurance. It sure can save you a bunch of money just in case there is a problem with your gas lines. I just called and signed up for $4.25 a month, even though it won’t take affect for 30 days. Praying nothing happens to the gas line in the mean time.
Well, something happened to the gas line and there is a leak per the Gas Company man. It is going to cost an additional $800 to fix it. If I had known about the gas line insurance sooner. I would not have to pay the $800 out of my pocket. Lesson learned a little too late.
The stress of today has made me feel very sick and my blood sugar has been yo-yoing all day. Been very hard to keep it balanced. Not being able to keep on track with my time management and organization plan, has made me depressed more the last two days again. Fighting hard to not let my depression get more deeper. Praying for a light at the end of this tunnel.
One of the crew will be here at 7 AM tomorrow. The State Licensed plumber will be here at 8 AM. Pray for me that I handle things better tomorrow.

I sure hope things calm down for you. It’s awful when money situations sneak up on us suddenly especially so close to the holidays.
