A reasonable evening.

My strength is back, at least to about 75%.  Nothing fancy, but moving a bucket of water doesn't leave me panting.  Wouldn't want to do it all day, but for a quick bit, I can do it.  And pain is mostly gone, if I am taking painkillers for it, for now.  Mostly just as insurance against another full exposure, as this morning.  That was... something else.  If I hadn't been so surprised by it, and then tried to fight it, I... could have cried.  It takes a lot of pain to cause a tear.  It has happened.

I hadn't eaten all day.  Just... I couldn't get to it.  So I had a burger on the way home.  Yeah, thanks.  But I had to have something.  I had a kefir, when I got home, and insulin.  Then, later, another kefir.  I love the stuff, to be honest.  Blood sugar is at 95 after a few hours since eating.  I have a feeling I will need to eat more, and possibly even then have a need to take glucose tabs.  

Until this gets steady, it's going to be a tricky time.  Blood sugar... it's... weird.  At 127 for a weekly average, it's all working out, but it still likes to collapse.  And food... or tabs... getting just the right amount is a trick.  Sardines don't do anything, fruit doesn't even do a whole lot.  A can of beans and about a pound of meat works, two cans it out, and a pound and an half of meat is too much.  Bleh... slowly sorting it out, if I can't always cook!

I think I have a cornish game hen thawed.  I could bake that?  I'll have to see suggested times... though up the temp.  At 4500 feet, everything takes longer, or higher temps, sometimes both... except what doesn't.  Yes, cooking at elevation is... tricky, sometimes, and not always in just one direction.  Something about less pressure means water is hotter?  Or under steam?  Or... just... things are different, and I don't have them down exactly.

I best get to bed.  I really need to try to make it to the post office tomorrow.  Oh, but I really have to take a shower tonight.  As if that always matters.  Still, I... need to get one.  Then on to bed.  Hmm, cat litter too.  And more to eat.  Gotta eat, it is so much better than taking tabs.  Bleh.  Later, or good night.

Are they mocking me?  I suspect so.  Oh, let me count the ways.
