I took my blood sugar, after waking earlier. It was 136 at ~19:00. No food since, sleeping most of the time, though I did take slow acting insulin as I went back to bed... whenever that was... a few hours after, so between 21:00 and 23:00, weighted more probably to the earlier range. Waking, blood sugar is 256 double fasting. Ugh. Well, I'll keep at it.
I checked the ducks, and their water out of curiosity. They are fine. Their water has some ice, but wasn't iced through. I broke it up. I had thought to put food in with them, but... nah. Not without water. Further, the water may freeze solid before the sun comes up... if it comes up. If it stays overcast it will, mostly, probably, be okay still. I just don't want to feed them without being sure they will have water. I'm not sure that is a thing, but... suspect it may be.
I am planning on another shower. Then another load of laundry and dishes. I brought down some of the blankets, and pillow cases, plus put on new pillowcases. I was using one of the blankets as an impromptu sheet. But with the new sheets in, and washed and dried finally, I will get those on. I have enough for two sets of bottom and top flat sheets. If they are suitable, and I like them, I will get a few more. The pillow cases are fantastic as well. I have enough for four changes... three changes plus one set on... something in there. I have decided to use them on singly. I had been doubling them. It just isn't necessary. It wouldn't stop bleed throughs anyway, merely double the number of cases which have to be washed. I have towels for when I'm having bloody nose issues. And they seem to work well.
So... yes. Breakfast, as well. Soon. After a shower I think. The ground is... it looks snowy, but is really more ice. It was slush that looked like snow, then just froze down. Crunchy. I should salt the driveway. That is about as much as I can do, initially. The plow won't help with this much. It is supposed to warm, though next week? If... they tagged it correctly. Later.
Be well, Doomster! Ducks, huh? That reminds me that I wanted to purchase a couple (dead ones) for Thanksgiving purposes.
ReplyDeleteUhm, among my favorite. The new breed is specifically for meat. The drake, if I only have one so he is safe... named Herc (short for Heracles) is big enough, at about 25~30 pounds, so you wouldn't need two. I am hoping by next year to have several males ready, as gifts. A hen is big enough for me, as meal with leftovers. And, they are muscovy, so are more like a red meat, without the extra grease many ducks have.
ReplyDeleteThese are the breeder set, though, so... I won't be eating any of these. I am hoping to have several batches, actually, before the year is out... mostly for the freezer. Along with rabbits, if I can get the stupid cages together. Ugh!
