Awake, finally, so late.

.

Oh, sure.  I was down until this late the other day.  When I set the alarm for seven but woke at six thirty.  But, this morning, I initially had the alarm set for four.  I woke ten to and reset it to five.  The reset it to six at five.  Here it is, six thirty.  I am exhausted from having to wrestle with waking, the alarms, and such.  A wonderful headache going on.  Neck, shoulders, all stiffened to a spike through my skull, up from the connection on through to just above and behind my right eye.  Painkillers, this morning.

I couldn't understand why?  The darkness.  It was dark.  Still is.  The clouds that exist live in front of the mountains only.  While I think they won't be a factor later even in the morning, unless more come in, they did make it dark this morning.  That doesn't help.  But, checking the temp outside?  That is it.  It is 36 out there!  And 58 in this front room.  It was 63 upstairs, near me.  So, cold, extra cold really, and dark.  Check.

Then I realized, that I was able to fight my way out of bed by six thirty is a minor miracle, as tired as I am and have been for the last few days.  I may need a nap later on.

Blood sugar is good, again, at 186 fasting.  Down ten points from the fasting number yesterday.  It is eleven points higher than last night, but that is a lot better than forty to sixty points higher.  I'm not sure if it works the same off insulin, as on, but when I used to do this, fasting blood sugar was always higher than my lowest blood sugar from the day before until my fasting blood sugar got below 150, give or take, sometimes steadily for several days.  Then the fasting blood sugar went on to become the lowest blood sugar of the day... or at least lower than bedtime blood sugar?  Something like that.

Not sure about this time.  With it being totally diet.  And, food actually lowering blood sugar (over a one but definitely two hour span).  I am still absolutely amazed with vinegar.  One of the packages I got from the post was apple cider vinegar.  A lot of people push a particular brand.  Which is a fine ac vinegar.  But, it has become overpriced.  I am trying a different brand.  And, it's regional, coming down from Idaho.  I had that for my last vinegar tonic.  I'll mix red wine and ac vinegars, and might try others if I can find them affordably enough.  But, damn... that and going more carnivore has really made a massive difference.  It's taking more time than insulin, but not much more.  And, insulin injections really do just add to the problem.  They store fat, that is what that hormone does.  You can't lose weight on insulin.  Period.

Today?  I don't know.  I'll see about getting the headache tended.  Then think about it.  If I can work that out, I'll see about doing some raking.  And, maybe, getting to town for the returns and mass?  Oh, I want to take a shower, no matter what else yet this morning.  Then set up dishes.  Any laundry left to do?  I'll check.

Dreams last night, but they... I only remember that I dreamed, not what.  Some may come back to me, later.  Though that is a rare thing.  Who knows.  

As for health, elsewise?  Sleep was only fair.  I got plenty of it, but less than usual deep sleep and little rem, the latter dropping to good and the former to fair, down from excellent.  Only in moderate sleep and time of sleep did I score excellent.  Stress (whatever that means exactly) and Awake/Restlessness were both fair, which they have been since I have been testing.  I'm... trying to figure out if there is a way to improve those.  Perhaps when I can get to exercise?

I weighed in before taking a shower.  It showed 260.0, exactly.  Good, all good.  I'll definitely take it.  Boring.  Wake me when I hit 240.  :p  Showers are wonderful things.  I have showered nearly every morning this week.  Nice.  Well, on with the day.  Some coffee, then a vinegar tonic.  Yeah.
