Up, and rather early?

.

.

My days have been in a serious spin.  The goal has been to make it back to morning.  One forty eight hour pull in there.  A few off time wakes.  This and that.  And... to bed by 23:00 last night, or nearly.  Up at 9:30 this morning, give or take.  I started waking around 8:30... ish.  Working on it.  Headache, from sleep being so wildly off and changing schedule so fast.  If one of those headache types that will pass before lunchtime.

Back to carnivore, enough anyway, to lower blood sugar.  It is 129 fasting this morning.  The first sub-140 (mostly, and I think) in months.  Since I started experimenting with more veggies and some keto stuff.  Those things, in any amount whatsoever, just don't work for me.  I have to do, mostly, carnivore.  Thankfully, herbs and spices are fine, salads are fine (assuming the dressings are made from clean fats and clean ingredients), and just a few veggies are fine, if more rarely.  Even cabbage has to be on a limited basis.  But... that is true of cabbage no matter what else?  It's a self-limiting food.  Once, or twice, a month... then spread over a week per head, or such?

I am curious how the salmon did in the freezer.  I'm about to pull a pack or two.  Should thaw quickly, being thin as they are.  I have tuna, and steak, if both might be sketch?  Will... check.  A bit of each would be good today, if they are good.  Grilled.  Though, the tuna?  Maybe with the faux keto rice, one type or another.  With a butter lemon sauce?  Sounds good.

Too late to get the trash out.  I knew, yesterday, but was so dashed I couldn't get to it.  Even so, I'd like to collect it, and get it out, for next week.  I have serious limits.  If I hit my limit, and then push, and pull, and go further?  Fine.  But, at some point, getting up to go to the bathroom becomes a test.  Life becomes extremely miserable.  Knowing, but being unable to do a thing about some things, is... frustrating.

Oh, something happened with the furnace or thermostat.  It stopped... working as it should.  Started defaulting to 62 every few hours.  Frustrating.  We tried a new thermostat, hoping that would be it.  It turns out it was.  Just bought a simple, one.  No programming.  Which is fine.  The programming portion of the one I had never worked.  Ever.  I even bother to use the manual.  Nope.  Though, too, my hours would change, so... even if it had, it was lost on me.

With this one, I just set the temp.  No hold, or programming.  Which suits me perfectly.  I turn it up to 75 first thing, to warm the place for a shower if possible.  Then, at some point, after the shower or if that can't happen, I turn it back to 72.  Along with the heat in this front room.  Though I would really like to get the computer into the living room, and begin just shutting this front room off.

Ah, recipes, for chanko nabe.  I found one with six options.  Only reviewed a few, so far.  But... it... will convey they idea.  Of course, I will not eat tofu, of any sort, or if soy beans, or such are later introduced... again, no.  Any sugar would be allulose and maybe a drop of liquid sucrose (liquid form of splenda).  I can't use regular splenda... could for a while, then it became as bad as sugar, for blood sugar spikes.  Tried the liquid.  Again, it worked for a while, but failed.  However, with the allulose?  The combination actually reduces my blood sugar through the morning.  Whether with tea, fatted coffee, or chia "cereal".  Even when used multiple times a day.

As for home mixed foods?  Not sure I'll make my own sausages.  Though, if I can find ground chicken, pork, or else, I may mix those and add a few spices.  Eggs?  That... might work?  Some of what she does won't be necessarily available.  There are local options, other workarounds, or just skipping on some things.

Why do I keep putting that up?  About allulose and sucralose (I think... liquid splenda, look it up if need be)...  Because, for years, I struggled with sweeteners.  I have to admit, I need that.  If I don't have it?  I'll eventually stumble through a store, smell chocolate, and absolutely go nuts on that or other candies, or both.  If I don't tend my needs and wants, I... stumble hard.  So, I like to let people know there is a way to manage even the sweet tooth.  If my way doesn't work, keep looking around.  But test your blood sugar, make sure.  Oh, and realize, what works for a while may not work permanently.  This has worked for me for... three years now?

Either you managed your bodily needs or wants, or your body will... right over you conscious will.  Quite often, if you fail your diet?  It's because you are failing your needs and wants.  Your willpower isn't stronger.  Best to... find a way to manage those things or they will manage you.  Trust me.  Even then, sometimes, I can slip.  It just happens less often.

Today?  A shower, hopefully pretty soon.  Trash and recycling out.  A bit more work in the living room, and bedrooms.  And some cooking through the day.  Did I have other plans?  Probably.  But... these are the new plans.  Later.
