Frustrating.

Blood sugar was 122 this morning... or... fasting test.  I used to be able to bring it down, with what I ate.  Or drank.  Using allulose and liquid sucralose, combined, in a fatted coffee, tea, or chia tea breakfast as this morning.  But, no.  It is going up, lately.  Not... hugely.  Just to 138 today, 145 (or so yesterday), and such.

Now, it does go back down by bedtime, to as low as 108 (so far).  All the numbers are declining over time.  Still, for the last year?  Fasting draw was usually my highest of the day.  Then a bit lower would be a few hours after eating my first (often only, even now, meal).  Then, would lower much more just before bedtime.

Hmm, I am adding walnuts, as a portion of my meal.  And meat sticks.  Perhaps one or both of those are playing some part.  With walnuts, I'm getting between six and nine grams of carbs.  Technically, the meat sticks suggest I get no carbs.  Neither should cause a boost.  But, the nuts, along with else?  Maybe.  Doing my best.

Tonight?  I am hoping the salmon I set out in the fridge to thaw is ready.  I'll sear it on the chimney, if so.  Two pieces.  As well, tea.  I'm running out of carbonated water.  I need to get in, but it's too late tonight.  Ugh.  Maybe tomorrow, if I can sleep early enough.  I'll pull a steak out, tonight, or two, as well.

I have lettuce, I think, that is still fresh (enough?).  I just need to blend cream cheese, sour cream, and regular cream, with some of the ranch flavoring... keto... I recently ordered.  And, I still have blue cheese, some of which could be added... for good, solid, chunky blue cheese dressing.  Goes well with ranch, in my opinion, or just with the other fats, plain.  Hmm... yeah.

On with... things.  The handwarmers arrived, as I mentioned.  I opened a pack.  Today was very cold, brutally cold, when I woke up.  The heat, from several sources, including those, has helped a great deal.  But it's about time to begin cooling my world off, and maybe getting some food too, then on to bed.  Tea, as well.

Trying to push days and nights back around, but the cold snap is very harsh and sort of messed things up.  Too hot, too cold, even if I keep the furnace running, door open, and the place up to temp, sometimes it just doesn't matter.  The cold, or heat, seeps in, disregards all my efforts, and... hurts me, in strange ways.  Including throwing my days and nights off.  So be it.  I'll do as I may.  Later.  Or good night.
