A long complicated trip.

.
.
I didn't leave until after 7:00.  Then I noticed some trouble with the vehicle.  Extra drag, some system off that should be on.  No time to fuss, if I did drive slower.  Then, nearly there, I noticed the vehicle was stuck in 4-low.  How was that even possible?  It is only supposed to go into 4-low if geared in 3-low on the transmission.

No time.  I got in, went to lab, then to my appointment.  Some horse trading, we will see.  Blood pressure and sugar are high, though with blood sugar that was expected.  Eating fast food, while required, Iknew would raise a1c.  But with fasting and keto it should come down.  BP is another matter.

The last few days, blood sugar has been just a bit high... in the 140's~150's.  As with vets, lookat any known changes in diet.  Anything?  Yep!  Zylotol gum.  I've been testing it, but forgot.  Just afew pieces will raise it.  I was hoping to use it more regularly but no.  I will use it, one piece, after apple cider ketonics.  It will readjust spit to the correct acidity after that.  Also good after lemon, lime, pickled items, and so on... for teeth health.  Now I know, about blood sugar problems and not to use commonly or in any volume... just another medicine.

The broth continues.  It will be quite thick.  Lots of collogen, and else.  It won't honestly be all that tasty, butter cream, and salt will sort that part.  But it will be an excellent food for ending a fast and creating gravies, soups, and stews.  I am excited to have this almost back in... stock!  I'll let it cook over night, at a lower temp.  I hope to let it cool as I wake and probably to noon, then portion it into containers, most to be frozen.  One left out for use, some that day.

Oh, I stopped at a Midas.  The guy drove back and forward, as I had.  Then he cranked the wheel and pushed reverse solidly.  Back out and running right.  No charge?  I gave him every bit of cash I had.  Not much, wished I had more, grateful.  I embarrassed the guy.  No bear hugs, just... gratitude.

Girls and ducks were tended first thing.  I may crash shortly.  Later or good night.
