Awake earlier.

.
.
To bed around three, even so, again.  I can't seem to be to bed earlier, but I am waking earlier.  My normal was pushing to fifteen hundred, it is now thirteen hundred.  Today was an half hour before that.

Warm.  Upstairs was 77/76, cooler nearer me... with the windows open.  Downstairs?  I'm getting a reading of 71/74, not sure which is supposed to be 71, or even sure that is right.  It is blinking on and off.  I'm assuming the batteries are dying, but am not sure where it is.  Doesn't feel that cool, either.  I'll have to see if I can find the remote sensor.  Found one, but it's to a different device.  Ugh.  Stupid things.

Actually found two... the second one is... also for a different device!  Bleh.  May have to replace them all, and put the new remotes in known locations.  Put a screw in the wall, in each room.  And always keep them there.  Stupid things.

Oh, but it is 86 outside.  At this time of day, that all but certainly means it is going to get to ninety or higher.  It was ugly, just stepping out.  I'll turn the ac on down here.  It's just going to be, already really, too hot.

Fasting blood sugar is 166.  I was thinking that wasn't down much from yesterday morning, but that was 193.  And the day before that was 224.  So, yes, a twenty seven point after a thirty one point drop is okay.  And, any drop, at this point, is good.  That's a nice drop.  One more day of kefir and coffee?  Depends on if the meat thaws.  I'd like a steak.  I can't believe I ate at fast food.  But there choices are so limited out!  I'll... look around.  

There is an In-n-Out near there.  Can order just burgers, on lettuce.  And they claim clean beef.  But do they steam it?  It's more like sloppy joes than actual burgers?  Something seems off.  And, just take a few of my carbonated waters, clean of anything else, in a small cooler.  Oh, and no sauces.  They love loading the burgers with ketchup, mustard (which would generally be fine, but they are adding sugar in mustard anymore), and mayo (again, would be fine if it was actual mayo, not some soy and seed oil gunk).  Are they paid to put the poison on what may (or may not) be good food otherwise?  Then again, these days?  People demand it.  Might be worth fighting for.  And, if I go up, ready for a fasting draw (no calories for eight to more like twelve hours), I am hungry after.  It's not just going without food, it's the energy spent in getting there, too.  Showering, dressing, driving, the stress of the interstate, etc.  It takes it out of me, makes me very hungry.  If there was a good, affordable, steakhouse, that would work.  But most steakhouses charge through the nose.  I can't afford a thirty to forty dollar lunch, especially as little steak as you get.  Keep the potato and veggies, knock off twenty bucks?  Ugh.

I have learned, if I eat earlier in the day, or at least five hours before bedtime, blood sugar is better.  Not too early, either.  If I am eating one or two meals.  Just, keep them in the afternoon to very early evening.  Today would be one meal, so around 18:00 to 20:00.  Too early, if I try for one meal, and I'll want to eat later.  So... yes.  Tricks I have learned in order to keep more on track.  New york strip, tonight.  Thick ones.  I am excited.

Someone's a chatty Kathy today.  Well... best get on to something.  Ac needs to be turned on, and fans.  A new game to be started?  Or back to one I was playing before?  I actually have a lot of games to choose from.  Being on ps plus, they give out three games a month.  I ignore the multi-player, racing, and "sports" games.  The multi-culti (more deliberate, involved ones), just black, and just oriental ones.  That's... for them.  I'm not "them".  But, once in a while, there is something.  And, if it doesn't hit one of the niches, I'll take it nearly automatically.  So, I do have a host of games I have never played.  But they... usually aren't my style?  Then again, I didn't think control would be my style.  It was exactly one of my styles.  Even if the lead was a vagina.  Meh.  If they are going to do that, I prefer a choice.

Hmm?  Grumpy old gus?  Shut it.  And... get off my porch!  But have a good day anyway.  For most of you... some of you.
