Awake and roughly at it.

.

Not sure when I woke.  Perhaps around... ah, I called my mother right as I woke.  That says 15:42.  An hour has passed.  I was looking around  on the internet, after the call.  Oh, and while I won't spend more, I had ordered things on the first.  Which showed up today?  They weren't scheduled to be delivered until Tuesday and Thursday.  Which is part of why I won't be shopping as much with them from now on.

Blood sugar was high, this "morning".  At 224 fasting, I just don't get it.  It was, I think, like 164 hours after my last meal, and with fast and slow acting insulin in on a timely manner last night.  Then again, I am taking the slow acting at the literal evening, not my 'morning' evening...  I mean I am taking it between 18:00 and 22:00, which is more like my morning, rather than taking it at my "night", which is around 6:00 to 8:00.  Still, that is how I try to do it.  Or I might end up overdosing, because my days and nights can get really slippery, and I can have two or three days in one day.  I need to stick it to a time, and stay with it, as close as possible.  It's a dangerous game I play, lethal or quite near it, with any of these meds, if I am not careful.  Lucky, so far.  But... just, mostly.  I think I have gotten a taste of death by jumbling meds a few times.  Ugh.

Their prices are part of it, adding taxes is part of it.  No, amazon has sort of doomed itself.  There will always be a place for amazon, for items which really can't be found locally.  But, from now on, not only will I look locally, but I will price check.  Sometimes it really is worth the wait, for a good price, on certain items.  Though I am guessing, amazon will begin losing a lot more.  Still, why the three day, given the late nature of the order, delivery?  Remember when it really was two days, not two weeks?  Or even a week?

Well, and buying less, overall, is good.  Actually, now, I need to go through much and... downsize.  Ugh.  Mostly what I bought was food items I think will work with keto.  A box of strange keto crackers, or keto-friendly.  Actually old-school stuff, with carb counts which work, and a price that seemed reasonable.  I had thought they would be tiny, but these are... sort of amazing.  I haven't tried one yet.  Should go good with everything from lox and cream cheese, to deli slices, and who knows what else.  

Can't eat a lot of them, but two to three... two Saltine sized... crackers, a few times a week, would be easily worked into my carb allotment.  Actually, that amount would only be about 11 to 13 carbs (depending on which type).  So I could use more, and more often, but the trick to keto isn't to do 20/30/50 carbs (whichever is your allowed, and works for you and ketosis), but to cut carbs out as completely as possible.  The maximum isn't actually the goal, it is merely the number you really want to stay under.  As well, variety.  Say, crackers on Tuesday and Thursday, cheese and deli on the other days?  Something like that.

Mother sounded good.  She had her guy bring in some furniture, just a stand really... to set up her Christmas decorations.  As well, she obtained wood oil, and shined that stand, her dresser, and the door to her room.  I... told you.  The woman won't go down.  While I might not die well, she just... won't quit trying to improve her lot.  I'd trade her, gladly.  But that isn't how it goes.

Chores, in a bit.  Then feeding the girls.  I may try some of those crackers as water heats for the rest of breakfast?  Nah, I'll have it with a "lunch".  I am excited to try them.  Even if they aren't the greatest, I will try to use them anyway.  I thought these were going to be tiny, AND, even in bulk, a small package.  Nope, These will take some work to even find a place to store them.  I really am pleased, especially given the carb count.

They make a "bread" like these, which I want to try next... after being amazed by these.  I don't need them to be tasty, I just want the utility.  I miss bread and crackers, or some equivalent.  And, while they say you can make them, I haven't had great success or satisfaction with what I have been able to produce.   If, true, I haven't tried everything possible.  Though, too, who wants to cook everything from scratch, keep up on it all, and... it... is overwhelming.  If I had a woman type, who could help, and wanted to cook and help with cleaning, on top of what I do, that would work.  But solo, on solo, on solo, on the house, laundry, cooking, dishes, etc?  I... simply can't do it.

Oh, best get on to setting up breakfast, then chores and the girls' food.  Later.
