Up a... little longer.

.

.

I was going to go to bed at about 2:30.  Then, I... thought I would... check about something?  And... here it is, 4:30.  Still, earlier than some other recent days?  Right.

I had an okay run.  But no one else is playing this late.  Or no one close enough for the links to work?  But it is an old game.  There is that.

I had coffee earlier, but that isn't what kept me up.  No sweeteners, or other mixes, other than whole raw cream.  I wanted to check blood sugar anyway, after that.  It had been two hours, so... 139.  Nice, that's a nine point drop, instead of an increase with this allulose and monk fruit combination that I was getting.  At least I know those are both "clean", regarding blood sugar.

I check, and recheck, when things are off.  I would guess, until I get allulose, blood sugar will go back to the mid 90s to low 100s.  I did have the rest of the steak when I woke up.  So it's not like I fasted all of today.  Though... I may, fast, for the next... few days?  Try to get the blood sugar... normalized... better.

Allulose and liquid sucralose combination, while better than with the monk fruit, still keeps the blood sugar around ~130.  Higher, but not... unreasonably.  Hmm, I may try only sweetening it every other day.  That might lower it a bit more?  Coffee was becoming so bitter.  I thought it was... the coffee?  Or my taste buds changing?  Nope.  Just... need to clean the cup out from time to time.  Gah!  A fool, but God's fool.  Or... that's the plan.  Because, I'll tell you, that coffee tonight, just with cream, was pretty darned good.  And if every other day or even every third day?  Would lower blood sugar by even five or ten points average?  I'd have my sweetened coffee, and lower blood sugar too!  Or... sometimes.  Just... a treat, from time to time.  It's... needed in life?  I think so.

I... forget... what all to do, to keep life on track.  Pain, exhaustion, infection, illness, all... sort of throw me.  Gaming a lot?  It can.  But, actually, that helps improve memory.  If it can paralyze me, physically.  Trade-offs.

Well, on to bed.  Alone tonight.  Sassy has been begging for food, over and over and over.  And she isn't cleaning up her plate!  No... I... think she needs to sleep downstairs a few days to a week.  And, go on a diet.  This is going to be as fun as punching psycho clowns.  Wait... that IS fun!  Yeah!  All I'm saying is there will be a price.

Gusty out there.  Big blasts, pretty high winds anyway already underlying it.  It would be a wicked night to be out and about.  I'm... saying an extra part of my prayer for those who must be out, those who work, in the hard, dark, cold.  Alone, or even in groups.  And, I'll thank God for their efforts.  It's not for me, or you, or us, but... it often really is.  ...  Just for you (fib) I checked the temp out there.  It's... 54 F?  Crazy!  That's... very warm.  I sleep in that temp.  I'm... going to open my window up there a crack!  Nice... very nice.  Don't want wind and gusts shooting through, but a little venting would be good.  I... think I can do that.  If it gets too cold, I'll close it all down, and turn on the electric blanket.  But... should be just fine.

Goodnight.
