Tuesday?

 .

.

I suppose it is better than Monday.  To bed around five or six, up at 13:00?  All roughly true.  A package, with a number of items, arrived.  Alarm clocks.  The first one I tested is loud.  I ordered two types, to see.  This first type is quite loud.  It does take two triple A batteries.  A very small price.  Actually, I would call it a benefit.  The tab batteries are too varied, not carried universally, etc.  Hmm... I owe a battery back, and need to get a spare of those for the glucometer, come to think of it.  I forgot.  Almost.

Sleep was a generous gift.  Though, with a glucose crash again last night, sleep is easier.  I only stayed up that long to make sure I was clear though too.  Without glucose at supper, and just slow acting daily, blood sugar dropped to 79, and was falling.  Oh, you can tell.  So, I started a meal.  But it wasn't fast enough.  Symptoms worsened extremely quickly.  So, glucose tabs, sugar pills, whatever you wish to call them.  A pack of them.

I only take two at a time.  One never works.  Every five to ten minutes, I check how I am doing.  Still horrible?  More.  I ended up taking ten, and eating a meal.  I feared my blood sugar would be... higher.  At 149, while not great, that is... I think... my second best read since going back on insulin?  If I keep this up, I will, again, beat diabetes.  It helps not being poisoned?  Oh, and weekly average is down to 132!

A second month length medkit arrived.  Same as the one that was successful.  I had another, but it was... problematic.  This one stows like a book, nothing can fall out or off the thing... by cat, incident, or folly.  I have, just last night, finished the first month clean.  All meds taken.  Sometimes a wee late.  But all meds taken within a reasonable time associated to their intended schedule window(tm).  :p  Hows that for some bullshittery?  Oh, but that means refilling.  Then again, I had to refill the new medset anyway, so it's a twofer.

Best let the ducks out.  And I may change one of the litter boxes whole.  The girls actually use their litter boxes wisely.  Peeing, mostly, in one... using another for their mixed bad, and when they just have to poop, they use the third one.  They do conserve as they may.  So, one goes bad faster.  The rest can be scooped and managed longer.  I completely redo a tray a month, then switch everything over one since they have a good order. We have learned to jumprope their bathroom functions in a smart way.  Though... I didn't train them.  They trained me.  It works for me.

Ducks.  Right.  I'll fill their water, put out feed, then let them to the races.  A fatted coffee shortly, with 8 cc's... because... but that might be it for insulin today.  My mistake, last night, wasn't what I had thought.  I forgot insulin with supper.  So, thinking I needed it, had a fatted tea and an 8 cc dose, later.  I... didn't need a dose at all.  I just assumed I did.  I won't assume again.  I will check first, every time and always.  My health is changing.  Later.
