Oh, ouch.

Down at 20:00, and... something... less than a decade to more than a score?  By a bit, either way.  Before the thirty mark, though, I believe.  I set the alarms for six and eight.  I woke a bit before six, but there was no way I was waking then.  So I shut that off before it went off.

Then, at around seven thirty, I woke again.  Still feeling rough, I almost shut off the eight alarm.  But... I stayed my hand, will... thinking on it.  I woke again, at seven fifty six.  Still feeling rough, but I wanted to make a stab at just getting up.  But... I didn't want to hear that stupid alarm!

Blood sugar is down to 160.  As I drink coffee and cream, and more.  Oh, allulose is what I forgot from the store.  It was 220 after the pizza, two hours after.  I wasn't sure it would be much lower today.  But, apparently, I am doing enough else right that it did come down far more than anticipate.  I was hoping for 180, but thinking more like 200.  A pleasant surprise for once.

I sat up, immediately.  There are risks if I don't do that.  And, then, turned off the alarm.  Then got up.  I went to dress for in house, which means long johns, double shirts, and the thick cargo pj's.  But... that needs the suspenders.  Hmm... I stepped on those last night, broke one of the clasps.  However, the pj's don't stay up without those.

So, I... started tinkering.  Half hour later, there were fixed.  Those are more intricate than they seem.  Getting wires and this, and that, bent back into shape, and into their places, was more of a trick than anticipated.  But... I did get it done.  It's bent, odd looking, not factory spec to be certain, but... it works.  And if anyone inspects closely enough to notice?  It'll be over my dead body, so I really don't care.

I have a small bit of pride that I was able, and willing, to pinch a penny and not just buy a new one.  Though, I would like a few more.  This one is... for the man I used to be.  It is a bit stretched, from my old size.  The adjustments are at their limits.  Works for in-house.  But I'd rather have something a bit nicer for out.  Several, to go with various colors.  Not many.  Black, brown, grey, perhaps, if heavy duty.  I hate things that are... just for looks.  And, with my, my size even when in trim, and such?  I... need heavy duty things.  

From belts to shoes to suspenders.  Thick, strong, heartily made, sturdy, or it will break.  I can't wear most storebought belts.  I break them in months.  I found a supplier which uses leather normally used for horse gear.  And... that works for me.  Lasts a lifetime... unless you lose weight.  I'm down to one or two notches, but there is so much extra.  Just cutting it won't really work.  As it will leave the ends open, and that will make it fall apart.  So, I'll order a black and brown, if they still make them.  In... 36?  Maybe 34.  Yes, it's... getting that... tight.  I'll measure first.  But...

Raining, out there?  Sounds like it.  Hmm, maybe not?  But something was... tapping on the roof.  Still is.  But it is 29 F out there.  Strange.  Something seems to be falling, but it is wet out there.  Strange.  Dunno.

Well, on to some gaming.  Have a good day, stay dry and warm.  And try to find the good in the world.  Just, watch out for the bad.  If your heart or mind gives you warning, don't ignore it.  Good morning, and day.
