Still awake.

.
.
Need to get to chores.  So tired though.  It has been difficult.  I did get to the jars.  They need to be washed, twice, with soap.  Then bleached.  And, finally, they were clean.  I rinsed them, in very hot water.  They are drying.  Kefir, left to die, or even while alive, is very difficult to get off glass.  Even if you just use a jar once or several times, then clean it.  That stuff sticks to the glass like... mineral deposits.  Perhaps more strongly.  Still, they are ready.  I won't buy milk, since tomorrow is Saturday, and milk should be arriving.

Chores.  Ugh!  I'll get to those right after this.

Blood sugar jumped to 156.  Strange.  Then again, I have lost track of what and when I am eating.  As I began failing to... be fully, mostly, awake... I just started eating.  Bits and parts, this and that.  I've seen it before, I just didn't think I was in that bad of shape.

Even so, I wanted to try something... to add protein.  I used two scoops of the protein powder, a cup of kefir, a cup of egg whites, and some sweetener... being careful how much was added.  The powder added both 20 grams of protein, and a powdered milk taste.  More mild than actual powdered milk, but that same idea.  Just... a taste, not the full bite.  I didn't mind it, especially for what I get out of it.  Those two things added 40 grams of protein to my diet.  Grams I desperately need.  I may end up needing two of those a day, assuming the kefir doesn't exacerbate diabetes.  

I tested before, it was 156.  I'll test again two hours later, or an hour and an half from now.  I did take insulin with it.  I am hoping to get diabetes in the clear, again, soon, so as to test kefir without a dose.  I suppose I could use this concoction as breakfast, some morning.  I could even use this twice, for breakfast and lunch, or as parts of those, so as to see it operate in various conditions, with and without other food, and such.  I don't quite trust it, mostly the kefir.  But, who knows.  Maybe the powder is a problem.  The egg whites aren't, haven't shown any sign of being so.

Well, on to chores.  Then I have to wait to test.  But, then, on to bed.  Good afternoon, day, and perhaps goodnight if I don't get back before bedtime.  On the good side, I am making it back into days.  If I can just hold it once I get here.  I am going to stop pushing from now on.  Just let it slide into home.  It'll drift a bit, on it's own.  The trick is to slow the drift.  Such a tricky thing.
