Didn't I just title one "Ouch"?

I second that.  In a better way, perhaps.  This is from the constant, for me, and intense negotiations, recently.  Brutal.  Successful, tiring.  It definitely beats unsuccessful and tiring.  Everything is just on the left side of good.  Just a bit off.  It might improve without assistance, if it seems to be improving slowly.  Aspirin, for when respite is desperately needed and earned.

Blood sugar was strangely high, at 347 this morning.  I suspect it was the exceptionally long day yesterday and again.  I didn't get to bed until 7:00?  Up to several hours later, if no earlier.  Long days, back to back, especially if caused by the misery of absolute exhaustion, can fiddle with those numbers.  No worries.  I know I am on the right path, and that the road is bumpy, winding, and tedious.  I know it will get there.  Plus, yesterday was actually the best day for reads in a very long time.  No 400s, and only one very low 300.  That is 100 to 200 lower after one day on meds and back on keto.  Oh, another problem may have been eating to much due to such a long day.

I was, and remain, so tired focus is difficult.  I can stay keto, finally.  The two days of sun helped.  But that isn't enough to overcome exhaustion from activities.  So intermittent fasting... I can't quite do that yet.  It's on the menu, and will be added as is possible.  I still have two appointments this week, one early next month, and others lining up for the near future.  I haven't been, or been able to be, this busy since last summer.

Ducks have been tended, cat litter cleared.  I won't feed the girls for another hour, their water looks good.  Cold tea and pills down, fresh tea brewing with a fatted tea, fatted bone broth, and chia and ground flax breakfast... in parts... on the schedule.  Not a bad life.  Though fictional (too?), I have to wonder if Yoda didn't live as such in retirement.

Raining again.  I'll shower and shave shortly.  Good day.
