Snacking.

.

.

It's been so long since I had peanut butter and crackers...  Became temporarily addicted.  Polished off a jar.  Even with the keto crackers, blood sugar took a hit, up to 144 last I checked, could go higher, a lot higher.  But I am finished with that.  Didn't think I had other foods.  No easy foods, no thawed meat, sure.  But... I really should get salad mixes and simply shredded romaine back in stock.  Just salads opens the way for tuna, sardines, and other very easy meals, with and without protein.

Hungry, again, though.  Wasn't there something easy I realized was available a bit ago?  I just... can't remember.  I could have a fatted coffee, but no.  Today is a tea day, without cream.  Why do I do that?  Just... seeing something.  I think cream was keeping blood sugar slightly elevated.  Not hugely, but more in the 120's.  Not always, though.  Sometimes I think their separator doesn't work as it should.  Or they allow some milk in, in order to stretch it?  Adjustments or limitations in the tech?  Don't know.  Do know that a bit of milk in there will increase blood sugar.  Milk is a sort of sugar, just as fruit, dextrose, and some other things are.

I heard it raining, and thought it odd.  It really should be snowing this time of year.  Looked out, just in case a package was delivered.  Had to laugh, it had turned to snow.  Our first snow?  Mostly?  I think so.  Or the first that might last a short while?  I'll know before long.

I turned the furnace down.  Not to cold, exactly, to 72.  So, I dressed a bit more warmly.  I'll... probably need to step that up, even, a bit more.  I do have several very warm underlayers, for layering.  No real mid layers, but inside I don't think that is necessary?  Though, maybe, without much movement.  And just my pj's, socks, and a cap, plus tshirt... long or short sleeved, with a jacket, should do?  Until I get used to it being colder, at least.

I had it turned to 75 for a while.  Just... needed that.  And, if I can dress warmly enough, and adjust well enough, the goal is to cut it to 68.  It doesn't really save that much money.  Not here, it just doesn't.  But that isn't the point.  It makes it easier to go out. I'm not leaving a fire box, going into an ice box, so much.  And, I think it is healthier.

At some age, and/or level of illness, that probably isn't as advisable.  But, for now, perhaps.  I'll find out before long.  I need to get a shower though, before donning the base layer.  I don't like wearing good things in a dirty body.  It's... been a while since I was able to shower.  Can't stand well.  So... thus it goes.

I really need to shop.  I've been meaning to get out for... three weeks?  I may have gotten out, for something.  But burned out too quickly, so wasn't able to get to the store.  The goal is to just shop, maybe put some gas in the tank?  So... should be able to get it done.  And, need to pay one bill.  Best get to things.

When I... can stand, to shower.  I have been keeping up on the litter boxes, water and food for Sassy, and giving her attention.  She is getting older, and fast.  She sleeps a lot more, these days.  Time... it... gets everybody.  Still, she is in a good state.  And she knows she is loved.

On to... other things.  Later, most likely.
