Again with the blood sugar.

.

After getting it to plunge quite strangely, without food, it started rising after that initial meal.  I let it go until after six hours of not eating, it had reached 145.  I had a meal, took a normal dose, and this morning (afternoon to normal folk), as I woke, it is 180 fasting.  Annoying.  But I won't dose below 150ish, give or take and considering trend.

BP is 145/100 pulse 75.  Better.  Oh, I really need to... no, I'll... I've got it.  I sometimes forget the left hand, so focused on the right.  It's all good when it's all good.

Sleep was good.  I did some dishes, and will soon tell of a new man-method.  I also finally made it to the post.  Our new postman is tolerant.  I pushed it a bit far this time, through failure not orneriness.  I need to not do that... find a way.  Don't test good things.

Ah, the man method...  for washing dishes.  I purchased a set for car washing using a drill.  I have never gotten around to using those for the intended purpose.  So, 2 + 3 +5 = 10, of course.  I pulled the system out, attached it to the drill, and... zoom, zoom zoom zoom!  Now, it won't work on everything... namely the inside of bottles... which I am looking into changing.  But pots, pans, cutlery, utensils, the outside of bottles, and a few other things?  ZOOM!

What it costs in arm strength it saves in bent back time.  It does well.  I suspect a copper wire or steel brush can be attached just through pressure coupling for more serious scrubbing, as well, a barkeeper's or ajax powder can be used for lighter, more delicate scrubbing, or on reflective stainless.  Yeah.  I haven't done a lot, yet.  Still wasn't up to it.  Today.  If it is worth it, for the rest of you bach's out there, with power tools... and no dishwasher of either sort... there you go.  Plus, it will be exercise.

Oh, as the world cools...  I was a bit fearful the upstairs would get too cold.  It was getting to 61º up there.  Which, mostly, is okay.  Sometimes the heart or diabetes causes a weakness to even that mild of a cool temperature.  Then again, 71º can be a bit cold to me, with certain givens.

As it turns out, if I set the furnace to 70º, without opening the foot and a half vent, the furnace keeps the floor region about 68°, and the waste high temperature about 65°.  In the winter, at times, I want the furnace on, to offer a buffer in case of an extended power outage.  I really need to figure out a solar alternative, say a 100 watt system, dedicated as backup.  The furnace runs, it simply doesn't have a forced blower, in a grid down.

Tidbits, perhaps chuckles, for your day.  Good day, afternoon.
