@Cumberland . It’s so sad to hear your news.
Sending a fellow dog lover hug.

I’m ok thanks FG
Last week (in between Christmas and New Year) little puppy Banger went to sleep and never woke up again
Hi @helensaramay, the challenge of change, expressed in the Yerkes-Dodson curve, where stress leads to an increase in performance to a point where increasing stress further leads to a fall in performance. As an engineer I am sure you see the parallels to principles of load and stress. (And is it Young's modulus)?? But nobody back then put diabetes into the equation!!Woke with a high BG today.
I am putting it down to the stress of having to work today after an amazing 2 weeks away.
I have hundreds of emails to read and I am trying to build up the enthusiasm to do so.
One of the disadvantages of working from home is the lack of colleagues to chat about the Christmas break with for the first morning back.
Ho hum - I'll try to look forward to the gym (for the first time in over 2 weeks) once I finish work.
Unlike @therower my gym is walking/running distance so I have no excuse about scraping ice from the car windscreen although it is certainly warmer in than out.
Hi @smc4761, being a salt mine, do you keep a canary in the office??Greeting fellow colanders and happy new year to one and all
Back to salt mines again this morning. - 5 this morning, so took a while to scrape the car and drive to work. Schools still off so roads are quiet.
Even work is quiet, only had 4 emails to deal with when i first came in which took less than 10 mins to sort out. Did not do much for the next few hours, but emails now starting to come through, now sitting with about 20 to action
BG behaving sort of, nice BG of 6.1 when i woke, but my usual mid morning spike around 10 am to 11.1 now back at a decent 6.2.
Not seen Aquaman, as I hate the cinema, however family have been and say it is fantastic
Hi @ becca 69, Yes I know that retired experience as well ! Hopefully to exercise of blitzing the house will pay if with lower BSL. Or perhaps doing the work to your favourite music will do the BSLs good, complete with choreography !!@hh1 sympathies re the sciatica. It’s a devil of a pain.
It’s interesting listening to everyone talk about going back to work. I am retired, going on 3 and a bit years now and have to say I have not missed it one bit. Though I loved my job. Life is very busy (too busy at times) but does have a certain routine about it. Was itching to get going yesterday, so as hubby was out notching up the birds I took down all the decs and packed them away. Then blitzed the downstairs. Blitzing upstairs today. Back to grandson duties, gardening and swim training next week. Then at the end of month parents for a while when mum has knee replacement. Add in food shopping, litter picking and meetings, there is absolutely no time to go out to work.
The fly in the appointment has been sugar levels. Sky high! New basal today so hoping for a result. Fit as a fiddle and pretty strict eating and no alcohol for last few days and still high grr!
Hi @Knikki, I believe the Japanese use biorhythm readings to decide when a worker should and should not work. There - you have another reason (excuse) for a day off!!!Well the car is now clear so the gym kit is on and...................oh hang on................its lunch time
On a side note brain gone to mush and having another roller coaster day Just managing to keep on top of things but still it's one of those, moon in the cusp of Uranus, wrong socks on, odd colour socks on, day is brass monkys etc days.
Ah !! @porl69, that 'back to work' stress thingy. Time is the best healer - hang in there !!!Frosty morning to you all
Back to work AGAIN for me, never get too many days off when in the motor industry
Woke to an 8 this morning and slowly rising, time for another correction dose and look at my morning ratios
Looks like its the morning of high(ish( BGs this morning
@Mel dCP what was Aquaman like?
I’m ok thanks FG
