Awake.

When did I go to bed?  Looking back, I went to bed right after my last post, which was nearly 14:00.  So, okay.  Waking at 01:00.  A longish sleep, but after wrestling with the day, because of blood sugar problems, yes.  Low and dropping blood sugar is rough.  It has many of the symptoms of the flu, only it really is possibly killing you.

I never did remember to take a painpill.  And that turned out okay.  I'd... really rather not take pills, not even the ones I need to take.  So the extras are avoided, often by procrastination.  And, yes, I hurt, terribly.  Still, doing okay this morning.  Neck and shoulder bones are a bit cranky, but very lightly.

Oh, and blood sugar is 148 fasting, 119 for the weekly average?  It's what the machine says.  Not sure I always trust the machine, but there it is.  And that, after pushing it to 200 last night.  I must be much more careful with fast acting insulin, and maybe back off slow acting.  I may have raised it a bit fast.  I know I did.  Still, I see... possibilities.  That is close enough to 150 that I will take a small dose with breakfast.  I am thinking 6 cc's.  Maybe 8?  No, 6.  Yesterday... made me nervous.  Less is better.

I just checked the temp... 14 F.  Yes, that is below freezing, if you are a Celsius-head.  32 F = 0 c.  Why am I telling you that?  Ah, because sometimes, those who don't do the one, really don't know.  Still, and oddly, 14 F, dry, windless, feels warmer than 32, wet, with air movement.

I won't be doing chores until after sunup.  But I do need to redo waterers.  Food is still good, and will be for a while.  Though I would like to get two to six more bags before long.  With just rabbits, I am hoping to keep up.  But I will be keeping my feed in new places, less prone to disappearing.  Or, at least, they will have to break into the house to do it.  

I have been having a lot less thievery lately.  Not sure why.  Did they just decide to stop, did a family or members of a family move away, did it become more difficult than the worth, or is my waking cycling making thievery too complicated?  All I know is everything from cat food, to paper plates, to food stuffs, to toilet paper... if they are being stolen I am not seeing it.  No insulin gone missing, I think?  Unless they are getting shots of it out of the vials?  I hadn't thought to check that closely, until now.  Yea, I could see it.

Breakfast water is heating.  It might seem boring, but it's okay.  I recently obtained coconut milk, in small containers.  I may try that, for a change, a few times a week.  One of the days I add flax, and day or two of normal breakfast, just to add variety.  Or, rarely, depending on what I think of costs, and carb count, and etc.

I haven't quite gotten to carb and calorie counting, but I can tell you I am doing pretty darned good.  Given the carb counts of chia breakfast and a cheese sandwich, or equivalent, for breakfast and lunch, it almost doesn't matter what I have for supper.  As a from raw meat and/or vegetable supper.  Now, to calories?  The cream is pretty calorie dense, at 51 calories per tablespoon.  So, an half cup is... 

Well, okay, a tablespoon of cream is 70 calories.  Or 71, depending on where you read, but I am mostly seeing 70.  And, there are... 13.32275 tablespoons per cup, or that times 70 which equals... ~933 calories per cup!  Okay, so half that is ~466 calories?  Wouch.  I... best watch that.  I have been trying to keep it, actually, at a quarter cup, 233 calories, but it's easy to... oopsies.  I may need to measure.

Anyway, if I keep it at a quarter cup, my calories, with a standard meat and veg dinner, should be easily within range of the 1700~1900 weight loss calorie limit... for starters.  Maintenance calories, for my weight, is around ~2,200 to ~2,400 calories, as a reference.  Something a keto woman suggested, was that after every five pounds of weight loss, the calorie count has to be rescheduled.  Meaning... less.  Though, as I am doing it, I am probably well under the numbers, so can run a bit longer just as is before actually having to cut food, or watch it too much more closely?  Something like that.  Ugh.  Though, to be honest, I am thinking of checking calorie allotment more like every ten pounds down... unless I hit some kind of roadblock.  She might be right, but I am!  :p

Well?  I'd best get started on breakfast.  And, I may begin checking blood pressure today or tomorrow.  I have started on the new, new, medicine, and been on it two days so far.  I don't know if it has had an affect yet, only one way to tell.  Hmm... I wonder if it is affecting blood sugar.  Sometimes, heart medicine does increase efficacy.  I don't think I have seen it reduce efficacy, but I have seen it both increase it, and have no affect on potency of insulin.

Good evening, night, morning, or... day?  I suppose.  Later.
