Just on the edges.

I didn't get to bed until 20:00.  Why?  Because.  It's the only answer I can offer.  I wrestled with the 3:00 alarm to failure so was waiting on the 5:00 alarm.  I woke, and decided to wake whatever else.  A good thing.  The 5:00 alarm had been bumped off (?).  It was 4:57, so...  Odd, but it worked out.

I hoped fasting blood sugar would be below 200.  Nope, 222.  It is dropping, a bit daily, fasting and not.  Currently I am having to use the V.A. blood meter and test strips.  My usual materials have failed.  I am not sure if the test strips are too old or if the reader has failed.  Not this month, but next, I will try another batch of strips.  I have a horrible time with V.A. testing devices/strips.  I had great luck with these others until now.

I hope that is a fluke.  I want a good source in case the V.A. stuff continually fails as it usually does.  Not sure why it has failed so consistently... don't care.  If I have a source that works that is enough... so this concerns me.  It's bad enough that pharma robs us of our health by trying to force medication that keeps us sick, but then to rip us off with simple testing supplies too!  And they wonder why they are hated.

Today?  Back to the list.  I am holding off renting the dumpster, but trash, dishes, bedding change, and more laundry is scheduled today.  Along with standard chores.  The sun, if I am seeing rightly, looks to be out.  I think it was out yesterday to.  When I go out to feed the ducks, on sunny days, I look around my garden.  It's a small pleasure.  Lots of asparagus up.  Rhubarb and horseradish are doing well.  Grass has filled quite well where planted, if there are a few sparse patches.  When watering starts, I will seed those few small areas... rain doesn't get to those spots as well.

It's a start.  After the alarm and critters are fed etc, I'll do bacon and eggs.  Then..?  Bathroom first, so a shower and shave in a cleaner area sooner or much sooner, then changing sheets.  A start on laundry right then.  A break then whatever comes next.  I think the week is really starting.  A quick check, the thermometer, the warm one, reads at below freezing?  Weird.

Good morning and day.
