Well, some of it.

.
.
Didn't hit dishes.  But did get laundry cycled through.  Totes in the wash.  And made the steak.  The whole thing.  Hungry?  A bit, but more wanted some bulk through the system.  Been having difficulty going, in the morning.  Not enough bulk.  This should do, with else from earlier.

As well, I am back to eating kefir before meals.  I want to see if that makes a difference.  As well, having a vinegar tonic, of some sort, after.  Overkill?  Only one way to find out.  If my bum burns, after a bm, I'll... sort it out.  Though I am drinking less of each.  Well, not less of each, less water in the tonic.  But, definitely less kefir, down to one to two cups per dose, rather than three or nearing four.  We'll see.

I checked blood sugar after the first meal.  About an hour after.  I expected... 240, 250?  Nope, 178!  Right before my next meal.  I was... quite impressed.  Surprised.  That I like.  I am going to test in another hour.  See what a steak will do to blood sugar.  The two meals were crammed right together, but... I guess I will see in a bit.  Or we... me and the bugs.  Just from kefir, I am less me than I was before, by vast amounts of us's?  Something.  I can say we, and mean it.

I had some hope that laundry would be ready to cycle by bedtime, but I don't think so.  I may be able to reset that which is drying, to a short warmer run.  So that it is ready in the morning.  But, really, in about an hour, when blood sugar is ready to be checked, I'll just reset the dryer and crash.  I'm not staying up longer.

Oh, the systems are suggesting that I had 286 "intensity minutes" today.  Of those, 116 were moderate, 170 were vigorous?  I need to find out what their algorithm is for that.  Pulse and oxygen?  I'll... have to figure that out.  On the good side, sleep was better again last night.  When they say you need eight hours, they mean of actual sleep.  While I "sleep" for nine or ten hours, I only actually am obtaining around eight hours.  Live and learn.

On the good side?  Things are... strangely... improving.  I am consciously doing some things.  But some things are... just... changing.  I don't understand how, but yes, things are improving from both thought and action, I have to believe.  My bp runs as high as 129 to as low as 79.  It doesn't take much to bump it very high.  And, when it goes up, it seems to go right to the 120s.  It doesn't slowly go up.  Bump, high.  It seems to drop pretty fast too.

I may begin practicing meditation, while active.  Yes, I... used to do that often.  A separation of body and mind thing.  Not a major trick, or difficult.  Just... something most people never... consider?  Right, something like that.  I'd like to see if, say, while raking, and meditating, I can control bp... lower it a bit... or a lot.  My breaths per minute are 13 sleeping, 14 waking.  I... want to tweak those, a bit, too.  I used to, but had no means of counting.  Not sure I trust the absolute numbers I get, but I think the trends from the system will be accurate.  And the numbers may well be accurate enough.

So very tired.  But a good bit done.  A pleasant day.  Fed well.  Took care of Sassy... who has been sleeping upstairs for most of the day, strangely.  If it makes her happy, let it be.  Now to rest, until bedtime.  I should strip down, try to cool off a bit, while waiting to test blood sugar.  I'll post that right before crashing.

Nice.  Blood sugar remianed at 178?  Crazy, but I'll take it.
