Not much.

.
.
Sure got warm.  At least 80?  Ouch.  It's down to 74, outside.  Right at 76 in this the front room.  Which... does get warmer than the rest of the house.  May have to shut it up earlier in the day.  Still, it's been nice, in some ways.  If a little warm, a little fast.  As... usual.  It always seems to do that, just a matter if whether it does that earlier or later in the year.

A second meal was had.  Steak tartare, as planned.  And, it was pretty good.  I feel like it got a bit too much salt.  It wasn't that I added too much salt, just that some of the components were salty to begin with.  So, the combination made it seem too salty.  No salt, next time.

I didn't have peppers, forgot jalapeno, serano, or such.  Tobasco sauce filled in well enough.  I am getting better at making it.  If one of the tricks is to pull the meat out, already cut to size, mostly, out.  Then let it thaw enough to cut it.  Well, and after preparing it, stick it back in the freezer for half an hour, to let it tighten back up.  Yes.  I... think that works well.

The early alarm went off, at 17:00.  Letting me know it's nearing bedtime.  I have having a bit of vinegar and carbonated water, after eating dinner.  The last blood sugar was 237.  I am hoping the next one will be lower.  Who knows.  Without insulin, I'm sort of flying blind with what could happen.  It... operates differently, if it is generally trending lower as I am more careful with food.  Even with the potatoes, in with the fish.  Reheated seems to make some difference.  But it still jumps a bit more than I like.  Half a potato, when I have them, from now on?  Check.

Still, I have been, pretty much, sticking to a right diet.  At worst pushing carbs a bit over thirty, but probably only to forty or fifty.  Usually, however, I am well under fifteen.  And that is overcounting, using only total carbs, and including supposedly definitely indigestible carbs.  So, really, not bad.

I wanted to go for a meal, after mass, yesterday.  But passed that up.  My friend wasn't able to go.  Then I had a hard time spotting the place.  Then I found it, but... had rethought the whole thing.  Not sure how carby that place is, but all restaurants are terribly suspect.  Frying in oil, again and again.  Using the wrong oils to start.  Etc.  Restaurants are geared for cheap product, but tasty meals.  They really need to change their focus.  It would make a difference.  Some things, like reusing frying oil, will never be good.  Heck, deep frying start to stop is unhealthy.  *sigh*  And I miss it.

Still, once every other week, a meal out, with company, is... worth it.  And, I can begin looking for better foods, in the restaurants, and by the choice of restaurant, to some degree?

I didn't get to the pipes.  Tomorrow.  I did clear the dishes, which were drying, got a shower this morning, ate two meals.  And, shortly, will be going to bed.  The watch is complaining about my sleep, suggesting I am getting to little sleep.  Fine.  Waking at night, to pee, doesn't help.  But that, truly, is a minor problem.  It is mostly the start to stop thing.  According to the programs.  Yes, I... will be trying to let the watch/programs nag me.  That... is why I bought and installed those.

Oh, if I didn't mention, it sounds like it will be okay for me to do sprints at the local field.  Spiked shoes and all.  I'll need to drum up the hundred yard tape.  I have it somewhere.  Perhaps make some stakes, and get some flags for those, so I know my start and stop points.  I have spikes, which wouldn't tear up the ground, guyline, steel, twenty inch?  Something like that.  A shop rag for each would work well.

Shoes should be in Friday, if the site is true.  Maybe.  If you want to... improve... strength and stamina... benches, deadlifts, squats, and military?  Then add in pullups if you can get that far.  Swimming adds to everything, and can be aerobic or anearobic.  I'll do what I can, as I can.

Trash, when I wake.  I think I have one more bag in here.  Recycling?  I think that was last week.  I might have a bag of that too?  Actually, I best get those gathered, and out, right now.  There is always a risk that I will oversleep, be too tired to get to it, or just plain forget.  It... happens.

I'll be up another hour, then try to sleep early.  And, until four.  Should give me nine and a half hours, which might help cover for the pee wakes.  I can hope.  I think it was after 21:00 when I went to bed last night.  The programs suggest I have only slept a bit of six hours the last two days.  I... do need to improve that.  Especially waking two or three times a night.  Nice to be able to see how often I actually wake.  Though, there are fewer pee breaks at night, recently.  Until I started monitoring fluids, I could pee up to seven times a night, if five or six was more average.  So...  Yea...  Trying to use the tech to my advantage.  Maybe springboarding from there, even.
