Okay. I think so.

Several things are making more sense.

Blood sugar is trending lower.  Fasting was down to 219 again, then is down to 199 after a few hours up and some work.  The readings may not be perfect but they are solid improvements.  Having a 160 range reading is very good.  Without fasting, multi day fasting anyway, and without "medicine".  The real problem?  I am too well to sleep for weeks, mostly without eating... if that is still a preferred problem.  I used to starve clean of diabetes.  Now it's just a bit more work.

Steak, potato, peas, and tea, for my first meal.  I need to pull pork out, another boneless butt.  I can't eat beef steaks everyday, and pork isn't bad either.  I just wanted to see how it would do.  Roasted anything is rather tasty.

More work tonight.  Mowing, some weedwhipping, the patio cleared and cleaned, and a bit more.  Plus I know which days to expect him.  Two days a week.  Regular schedule.  That helps.  I have the next work day charted, among the chores, cleaning gutters and putting in ac.  I meant to water but the day escaped me.  I'll set things up before going to bed tonight/this morning and hit it tomorrow.

I like to work.  Help, well, helps!  I have other things I need to get on, both for helper projects, plus solo efforts, business, and such.  Can, I keep up, push myself, guide?  It is the goal.  Hopefully he will get small experience, plus some money, and man food.  Flooring and some drain and water works in the en suite, roof painting, eventually gutters, and fiddly mockups getting ac's boarded and insulated in windows.  Plus, it is hoped, he will keep me going to clear the way for projects.  I don't think it will kill me, if I won't always be able to help?  If I can make sure something(s) are available to do, I'm good.  Not much, but say, 16 to 32 hours a month?  Food and toys covering some?  Something in that range, plus or minus, give and take.  Of course that means as much as double or triple the hours worked for me?  I hope.

Later.
