Well bless my sainted aunt's thyroid.

Other than to say something seems to be working out for the better, a minor call out to someone who knows.  I haven't heard such side-kickery in ages, by the way.  Neverthewho.

I got a bit of a nap in.  Needed it, wanted it, could take it, right over the 78 degree mark that was the way of things when dirt.. or pillow.. and face met.  It was an ugly thing, a face being molded into a gravity flattened thing.  And, yet, it was beautiful.  All things must go through the eye of the beholder.  At least one.  Two hours?  Three?  I can't be sure.  Seems more like a nap as things turn.  Which is fine.  I have been... careful... of late.  What with what all.  Even while sleeping, some caution was seen.  I had to wake, but just for normal calls, and that ended my nap.

I woke well enough.  Though I wanted to check something, right away.  I had a feeling.  What feeling?  Can't say, exactly.  Blood sugar.  Test.  Well, whatever I did it was the right thing.  My insulin level read 127!  Was it the broth?  It seemed to shoot the insulin up.  It wouldn't have been the cream, I use that every morning in tea, and in the afternoons on through-fasting days.  It must have had something to do with the broth.  But... what?  Never mind.  As a reward?  You guessed it, a cup of broth.  Though this time only two cubes.  Next time, three.  Two cubes for this volume of water is just too thin.  Actually I'm adding another in with this and warming it.  Make it two more cubes, and some more water.  Too thin is too thin and no amount of salt and pepper can fix that.  I will, in an hour, test again.  I am curious about this bone broth stuff.  Maybe it does jump the blood sugar, but allow it to back down at some point?  Crazy, but good.  It had to go forward, I could tell it was needed.

This gig is going well boys and girls.  Not bad for someone the world has given up upon.  I'll dig out of this grave if it kills me.  I already know the shortest timeline... the rest of my life.  Which I know, without any uncertainty, remains to me.  I'll be looking into some supplements and over the counter things tonight.  Oh, and my leg seems to be red again.  Not swollen.  Might have to see about that.  Yeah, I haven't been wearing the socks, at all... not even every other days like I said I would.  I best get back to that.

Later.
