Up and going fairly well.

.

Down at about 19:15.  Up at 02:30~03:00.  A short sleep, but feeling good.  Slept well, if short.  Didn't even use the pee jug?  That's a first in a very long time.  I would like to never have to use it again, but that is... a bit off.  I think it might be possible, just not yet, regularly.  The goodness of the sleep proves the concept... it would be very good.

Breakfast is brewing.  Just the same old.  But I really do like it.  Now that I have it down, I should consider doing a nutrient assessment.  Three tablespoons of chia, half a tablespoon of cinnamon, a tablespoon and an half of a monkfruit mix, two drops of liquid sucralose, and a quarter cup of either cream or coconut milk.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I add a tablespoon of flax, black pepper, and turmeric.  These I brew  with water either taken to 195 or up to boiling, then lets the whole of it sit for about an half hour.  Say... an half cup to nearly a cup?  I could add nuts, but would prefer nuts which are richer in omega 3's, much less in omega 6's.

As it turns out... an ounce? of chia offers 316% of the 1600 mg base?  So, about 5064 mg's of omega 3s.  And, how much is an ounce of chia?  Hahaha... ~2.8 tablespoons.  Check.  Talk about fortuity?  I just chose three tablespoons based on hunger needs.  And flax offers 405% of the dose.  I would suspect measure and volume are similar.  So I get a boost twice a week, without the concern of as much phytoestrogens.  Man-boob stuff.  Bleh.  So, actually, I could add walnuts (which also offer some 3s, or pecans, or really any nut.  Doesn't really need more 3s, so could use them for other things.  Meat handles the 6s.  But I only eat a portion of meat a day, plus perhaps a bit on the side in the form of sticks or such.

Okies, it looks like I handle omega 3s and fiber pretty much in breakfast alone.  Anything else is just happenstance, and probably immaterial to a degree.  Or a different sort of fiber?  There is soluble and insoluble, and insoluble which affect different parts of the intestine.  Even soluble which break down in different parts of the system, so as to feed or encourage different parts of the flora and fauna?  Something like that.  Various types of fiber are good.

No, I'm not a dietician, just an end user trying to be informed... smart... about what I eat.  Difficult to do when I'm half dead or more.  Still... it's... something to do, in an attempt to get some of my life back.  God knows, I haven't quit, if sometimes I can't hold the wheel.  When I can, or even can plan to, I do what I can.

Blood sugar is 131 fasting, my weekly average is 119?, but I forgot to take slow acting insulin.  I will take it now, then take it this evening.  When my day stretches too long, things just get lost.  I did take all my pill medicine, at least there is that.  I almost stumbled on that last night, the last few nights actually.  Difficult when days and nights are tumbling, stretching, churning.

Hmm... now to get that insulin.  I won't take fast acting with that low of a fasting draw.  Anything below 150 and nubs on that.  Especially since I'll be dosing with slow acting.  I'll take my bp in a bit.  I like to give medicine an half hour to work it's magic.  Though sometimes I like to see raw morning numbers... but only after establishing an average, a baseline.

Everything is ready for the rabbits.  Though if the hydrant is still frozen, I will have to take water from indoors.  Not my favorite idea, simply no choice.  I have never had that freeze.  I have seen a size 8 to 10 shoe, with a dog following whoever, out in the snow.  And another dog, a bigger down.  I see where they go.  Rabbits, even the man.  Not a woman, something about them.  No, it was a man, and his dog.  The other dog was alone, or at least traveled in it's own path.  No way of telling when, so whether they arrived together or separately.  Though, at various times, as there are signs the man's dog was here solo, as well.  Probably who killed my ducks.

Well... on to slow acting insulin and... I don't quite know what else.  Waking up, a bit better, more fuller.  Then whatever I can get to.  Good morning, and night and day.
