Okay, pudding, proof?

.

Not so fast, junior.  However, a strong initial datapoint?  I would say so.

Blood sugar.  It was better, mostly, than at any time recently... in the last four days since I have started testing again... after breakfast, at 287.  I had a vinegar water mix (red wine this time).  Then, just recently, nearly two and a half hours later, I tested again.  And?  226.  That is a 61 point drop.  Very nice.

It is almost time to have another meal.  Eggs and... something.  I may go bad, and just have corned beef hash... canned... with the eggs.  Why?  Well, I currently don't have anything else.  Cook it in tallow, or coconut oil.  Then have eggs in similar.  I am currently using coconut oil, tallow, or butter.  I would like to make and jar up ghee.  We'll see if I get to it.

I need to wash pint and quart jars, to do a number of things.  But, first, I need to wash the dishes otherwise in the way.  Which I started this morning.  So, there is hope I will get to those jars before too long.  Maybe even today.

I also need to purchase some strapping, to hold the pipe up.  Where the patch was replaced.  It... the new patch, which I am grateful for mind you... isn't as... good as the last patch.  I think I need to go in, and look around at HD and Lowe's.  It DOES tighten down, fully, unlike the other one.  The bands go further.  But, it is still a bit big for the pipes, technically.  But, the pipes are old, and the world is crazy, stupid, these days.  Not sure they even make the right sizes, necessarily for anything, these days.

I can't get out for a while.  A bit low on cash, and a bit tired.  Hopefully some work, some cleaning, a shower between batches of dishes, cooking, feeding and tending Sassy otherwise?  Yes, I think so.  But, I can't get out.  Mass, it is hoped, if at all possible.  Saturday, or Sunday, early or late, as is possible.

But payday isn't until Monday.  Hmm... might get out before then?  Maybe.  There is... something else I would like to do.  Though... maybe Monday would be better, for that, even so.  Ugh.  A bit confused, tired, and such.  I'll... think on things.

Dishes were set up a while ago.  I think I'll hit them, right after this.  Then, reset them.  I am guessing at least one load will require another wash.  One load is rinsing.  But will rinse twice.  The other load?  One is a huge load, one is a small load, and the rinsing stuff is small, which is why I went with three.

Oh, but I need to clear the freezertop off, first.  And probably wash and rinse it.  No major issue.  Most of what needs to be moved is big, and easy.  And it isn't really dirty, hasn't been used, just needs... a refresh.  Then I can hit dishes a bit later, after breakfast.

With the dishes finished, that set, I'll get a shower next.  If I can, after that, I'll set up any remaining dishes.  And or the jars.  Not sure how many dishes remain, after this load.  Jars?  Since I want ghee made as soon as possible... after finding a lot of simple butter (just cream and salt) on sale, I bought... ten pounds?  Not sure how much ghee that will make, but I have heard it will make about a pint per pound.  Assuming I don't burn or otherwise ruin it.

Yeah.  I'll see.  Oh, I also need to clean out the shop vac.  Wash it out, try to clean it as much as possible.  Then vacuum clorinated water to help clear and clean it.  Gotta take care of your tools, if at all possible.

So... there you go.  But, the vinegar may honestly bring down blood sugar, which... roughly indicates some drop in insulin.  Curious.  I'll see what future datapoints indicate.

Oh, and I am beginning to look at other fermented foods... fresh sauerkraut, kimchi, beet kvass, and a few other things.  Just... foods I can eat, and with a good conscience.  There was a time I wouldn't have believed I could eat even plain yogurt.  I am so far past that.  Now, other things I didn't think were possible are now lining up, and I think I'll be able to do.  Mostly going carnivore, but I'll bet even a lion, from rare time to time, gets a load of grass or leaves that just gets in the way.  I'll just aim a bit better.
