On I go!

.

Dishes.  Not done, but hit.  Those that were out, save the pan, are put up.  The rest of the dishes have been washed and reset to a soapy soak.  They won't need more than the two washes and a rinse.  As well, I got breakfast together.  No fresh onions, so cheese and ham.  Oh, I could get a can of mushrooms!  Deal.

The grill is warming.  I have a timer set.

Blood sugar has been tested.  Once an hour after breakfast, and just now, another hour to two hours after the last testing.  I was... a bit disappointed with the first test.  It was 215.  For whatever reason, I just... had hoped for more of a drop.  Actually, that is a 37 point drop?  That... was excellent, for after meal movement though?

The recent test... astounded me.  It was 189.  Hmm, that was only a 26 point drop.  So, in total, a 65 point drop since fasting/pre-breakfast test?  Not bad.  For only using vinegar?  I mean, sometimes kefir will lower blood sugar, a little bit.  But like fifteen points, or such.  Not 64.  Very nice.

I think I know why the smaller drop impressed me?  It's the first time I have been below two hundred.  And, really, only the third or fourth reading below three hundred?  Something.  I... wish I had tried vinegar, in this way, before.  It's... proving to be amazing.  Plus, thankfully, I like the taste.

On out to the griddle... brb.

That was very good.  I am testing blood sugar.  I ate two flour tortillas, 25 grams of carbs each.  Why push it?  Because, this vinegar is acting so... strangely.  I just finished the vinegar concotion.  Will test blood sugar in an hour, and then an hour after that, give or take if only to the longer side.

I'll need time to digest it.  The partial denver omelets were good, but... there is just... something missing.  I need fresh onions, maybe a tomato or two, jalapenos, sernos, or even hotter peppers.  Habenero if they have them.  Probably don't carry hotter, but that... should be enough.  Chop and add.  Anything else?  Not sure.  Still, this was tasty.

Oh.  I sent a text to a friend, asking about a possible favor, but an easy one.  And put out the list for the dairy for this coming week, and eggs.  If they are flush, with eggs, I'll help them help me.  I'd like to get some reasonable number of dozens, and pickle quite a lot of them.  Then see how long they really last, at quality.  Keeping them in the basement, I think, as well, will be a large part of the trick.  It gets too warm up here.

Plus, I am eating many eggs per week, as is.  I could see adding a few pickled, every other day, or with salads.  Plus, the vinegar hit from the food itself will really help add to the weight loss?  Diabetes assistance?  Crazy, baby.  If I had known this a decade ago, I wouldn't be in such a... pickle.  Diabetes is almost as bad as my heart issues.

I'll call the store in a few hours.  I think they open at eight, but I like to give them a few hours to set up.  Just... being polite, or my version of it.  Some lessor steaks are on sale, but good ones.  As well, sirloin tips, and whole chickens.  I'm mostly going for the steak, but some thicker, some just regular, cut in half, bagged per steak (so two pieces), plus see if they will slice the sirloin tip.  I'd like to use that for jerky.  So quarter inch thick slices.  And, for good measure, four whole medium chickens.

Between the minced pork, chuck roasts, other sirloin tips, and hamburger, with this I have... plenty of meat for a few months.  If I can get a bit more going on, and find the outdoor propane cooker plate on a stand, I would like to see about canning hamburger (if it comes on sale, want fresher), maybe some chicken (though more if I see hindquarters or those parts on sale), and other things... maybe pork butts parted and bottled...  Who knows.  But to can, say, ten to twenty quarts of four or five meats?  Just in case the fridge goes, and for ease of eating from time to time.  Can't be worse than the canned beef out there for sale, if a heck of a lot cheaper this way.  Ugh.

Well... I'll... let the food settle.  Then hit dishes in a bit.  I might get the shop vac out, and emptied, and back for a cleaning after I get this next load of dishes finished.  Gotta take care of your equipment.  I haven't done that well, beginning to... improve.

A really nice start.  If nothing else, hoping to make it awake until 18:00 to 20:00.  If I can hold it about there, at least for a while, perhaps I can get to mass this Saturday.  Oh, I also need to get some laundry going.  Trunks, and such, first.  Then a few whites, towels, shirts, etc.  All good.  All very good.  Well, I'll start that right after I pee.  Sheesh, never had to go this fast in a long time!
