Oh, well, work.

I do believe I am done with actual work for the day.  Dishes, dishes, and more dishes.  Every time I turned around there were more dishes.  On top of small appliances which needed cleaning.  And more dishes.  Plus getting more trash set aside, then that out, then a new trash bag in.  And more dishes.  A cup of beef broth heated, needed some water, salt, and pepper, and a bit of cream.  Then more dishes.  Gah!  The broth is good enough for me, easily, with or without cream.

Blood sugar is 133.  I want to see if the stock and cream will bounce it or not.  I'll check in an half hour to hour.  About the time I make a few phone calls.  Yeah.

While far from sparkling, much to do just in the kitchen, and triple that in probably every other room, plus repairs and upkeep that need to happen and...  I'll never get there.  It's just that, while I can, I will keep going.  Even when I can't, I won't give up.  I'll just wait until, once again, I can hit it.

No outings today, save maybe the post, after the first call.  My feet are blowing up.  Just been up and on them too long.  Yes, I have taken medication.  And, actually, I have been drinking a lot less.  It's just that I really need to lay down more often.  If I can push my days around that might be more possible.  Perhaps just reclining to read.  They are in very rough shape... simply up too long, and on them a great deal of that time.

Still, I'm not going to complain.  With as much as is going my way, as much as I am getting at, and to completion on many things, it's a price I can pay.  Taking more water pill simply won't help.  If I get things under control, diabetes, blood pressure, food and fasting, and a few other things, I do believe the flooding in the feet will end, or be greatly curtailed.  For now I simply have to grin, bear, and manage it in whatever other ways possible.

Later.

Blood sugar, an hour after consumption, is 150.  Not sure if that is due to the stock.  Cream doesn't usually do anything.  I have a sense that stock does, but for the rise, it offers a better lowering later on.  Not sure if I will be awake in two or three hours.  If so I would sorely like to test the notion.

I did make it to the post office.  Far more packages than I was expecting.  All good, I suppose.  I made one of the various calls.  No lamb head.  It's gone when they get it?  I may have to buy a whole lamb sometime and do it myself.  It's a lot trickier without walk-in freezers and all.  Still, it is how they did it for all of man's history back to before they raised animals... if they could trap a creature.  Ah, and blood sugar is down to 135.  The bump was temporary.  I'll be awake for a bit longer, but this is it, for now, for posting.  Good day and good night.
