Improvements.

I ended up awake all the way to 16:30?  Give or take a quarter.  I was so fried when I went to bed that the last numbers of the time are fogged out.  I, again, awoke at 20:00.  This time I did an assessment, to sort out why I was awake.  Cold.  I was cold.  Probably why I have been waking at that time lately.  It's when the world hereabouts shifts from spring like days to winter night temps.  And... I feel it.

So, I checked the blankets.  They were well placed.  So, I turned the electric blanket on, then tried to get back to sleep.  Check.  Not a lot more, but I did sleep to midnight.  Good enough.

Sassy started meowing, for food.  But I need to reset her clock.  So?  No more feeding until two hours after I wake up.  I set an alarm.  And, only feeding her every three hours, then on.  If I don't set boundaries, she'll walk all over me.  Sometimes, when I'm in poor shape, I just... go the path of least resistance.  When I begin doing better, I... fix that.

Blood sugar is 123 fasting, I think it's that high because I had a second coffee, and late.  But, the weekly average is down to 126.  Comparatively, that is slightly lower than the 130s or higher from somewhat recently.  Just one coffee a day.  If I feel the need for another, it's bedtime.  Or, at least have it with some protein and fat, to cut the small spike.

I did end up checking with the VA.  My old doctor wouldn't send any test strips.  He is definitely being a jerk, because I won't take his snake oil.  I have been told, by several doctors, that they don't consider people finished with diabetes until their numbers are clear for a year.  So, yes, he's being a petty bureaucratic asshole.

That was all I was able to do, other than washing out a water container.  And, getting ready to wash the others as I finish their contents.  Then fill them with clean water.  Should do that more often?  One lid had just a touch of mold... or such.  The others look clean, that way, but are becoming dingy.  Couldn't notice, unless I compare them to the freshly cleaned glass jug.  Yea, dingy.  Will fix that.

Food?  I'll check the steak and burger I thawed recently.  Hopefully they are still good.  But I need to clean the frying pans.  One is soaking, so that should be easy.  But the others will have to be set up.  Hmm, I'll... do the soaking dishes, then reset them.  Plus clear and clean the freezertop.  As well, get in a shower, pull meats from the deep freeze to the fridge freezer, and a few other things.  If... possible.  Ugh.  

Do a weigh-in?  Sure.  It doesn't feel like I am losing weight anymore, again.  Though, again, I have been taking on water.  Which... is why I am back to taking medicine... beside eating.  I voided three liters, two nights in a row.  And a liter and a half last night.  Plus, I'm going regularly.  Just... drinking a lot, instead of eating so much.  But... water puts on weight too.  The water pills should help me get back into better trim, regarding fluid retention.  Bleh.  Always something.

Well... back to gaming, to finish waking.  And coffee... I'll get that going.  Nearly time to feed Sassy, as well.  So... okay.  Have a great day, morning, or... night if you are still up.  Blessings, warm thoughts, and a bit of cheer your way.  Now... you know the drill?  Get OFF my porch!
