What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Happy Wednesday losers!
(That's those who have lost weight and those with a drop in your morning numbers.)
AND..... An even happier Wednesday to those who have hospital visits. I am sure we are all thinking of you.

And to those of us who are staying the same... {That's me with 6.5 today} it's Not going up!

And to all who have taken a hike... What goes up Must come down.

And to the lucky buggers on holiday... E N J O Y!

Oh! and to the poor peeps who have to go to work... Have a GREAT Day.

Morning...just up after seven whole hours of good sleep...hope all goes well this morning @PenguinMum … desperately in need of my coffee just waiting for it to brew...took Harry for a walk yesterday as we ambled down our high street a car pulled in to let another pass...as it drove off I got a whack right on my elbow from her wing mirror...she did stop & apologise...the driving standards here are shockingly poor...woke to a 6.9

no goodness that she didn't damage you more and that Harry wasn't hurt.

Another highish reading for me this morning 5.8. Still no idea why. Unless there is a quota of numbers inside the BG machine that have to be used and I have had all the 4's and low 5's so now I need to move on to the high 5's!

That’s as good a theory as any. I’m 5.8 this morning too so maybe we’ll use them up between us.
 
@PenguinMum great fbg this morning, I’m so glad you slept well and will be thinking of you today.
@Krystyna23040 the calness lack of stress thing really does make a difference doesn’t it? Have I recommended the Headspace app to you? Its wonderful you can do just 10 or 15 mins a day guided meditation, or just dip in when you want. I use the sleepcasts for dropping off at night too - Ive never heard the end ( I’m always asleep by then)
@Bubbsie hugs for the elbow bash - at least she stopped, I was quite surprised at that tbh but I don’t suppose that made it hurt less!

She's a local DJC...we have so many strangers cutting through here en route to the A1 (M) and they drive dreadfully...however she lives just down the road so she had to stop.

Sounds as though you have given yourself a great start to the day and all the rest of us can do is offer our best wishes/thoughts/prayers.

Not seen this for ages I’m all inspired
 
good morning all :)

4.9 for me today

We managed to get a bit of strimming done yesterday before the heavens opened and chucked hailstones at us :hilarious: followed by a heavy shower. Never mind it's bright and the sun keeps peeping through a bit this morning, we're going to go out for a walk and lunch later in the morning today because mr gee has a dentists' follow up appt. in the mid afternoon.

We also have to take something back to ASDA (which arrived in non operational condition) and then pay mum's garden bin collection fee at the council offices, she's in the country and could compost or bonfire most things so naturally her area gets a 'garden refuse' collection, we're in a village so of course we don't :banghead: on the plus side it cheers mum seeing the bin filling up and putting it out even if the garden work she can manage now is more limited than it used to be so the fee is worth it ;)

@PenguinMum thinking of you today

Hope your day treats you kindly :)
 
@PenguinMum
Thinking of you today ...

@Bubbsie I walked into a wing mirror on a parked car about 2 years ago - too busy talking and not concentrating and I ended up tearing my right rotor cuff. I can’t use my left arm (following strokes when I was 23) so it was quite problematic. Glad Harry wasn’t touched.

Busy day for me today
‍♂️ then rocket man and afternoon tea.

It was a sad night for me last night, I had to finish reading on a prime number chapter.. (97) oh the trauma! Real first world problems ..

However as I glanced and my testery machine, a 4.4 shone through the darkness this very morning !

@Bildad completely agree with your number theory.

I’ve long said there is a PhD hiding with blood glucose readings.

I am still searching for the mathematical relationship between carb intake, time of taking my readings, the weather on Mars...etc. Its there but I’ve not found it yet, I continue my search and continue to add and take away different parameters from my trusty spreadsheet. First world problems! #stillageek!

Have a wonderful Wednesday good chatty people
 
Clothes Pegs. A purchase of them took place yesterday, of various shapes and colours, to supplement the ones already residing in a basket in the towel cupboard. They can be used to peg down towels on sun loungers; there is a constant and pleasant breeze in Lands Are Grotty.

However, clipping down towels round the pool is such a waste of a good resource when you are two years old. Sealed in their plastic packs, they can be rattled, banged, squeezed and slid along tiled floors. Sprung from their enclosures they become a source of great debate when clipped to table ends, door handles, chair legs, kitchen handles, toys, rubbish bin foot pedals etc.
As I write this, Mayhem has just wandered into the kitchen, sunglasses on, upside down, naked doll in hand, wrapped in its baby blanked and picked up a green peg, pinned it to the baby blanket and wandered out - no words, a bare flick of her hair, nose in the air, being a fashionista.

Oh yes, a troubled sleep due to lower back whinging about how badly a hand it had been dealt with for all these years; it was 1975, get over it. The wheel of sympathy and protests took the side of lower back, stuck out it’s notional tongue and blew a 5.9 in my general direction.

Toddler tossing - a great new game:
Ingredients and tools;
A swimming pool (obviously, it only works once on other surfaces).
Agreeable toddlers (one each if possible but you can take turns).
Anti UVB swim suits (optional but it works for longer).
Swim nappies (very necessary for toddlers who are philosophers and have no time for trivia).
Upper body buoyancy vests (arm bands work as well)
Factor 9,000 waterproof sun screen.

Rules:
Teams of two, one in the pool, one on the side.
The team member on the side of the pool (the pitcher) holds to toddler firmly but gently, with toddler facing the team member in the pool (the catcher).
The pitcher recites the incantation, “ready....steady...go” and tosses the toddler towards the catcher.
The catcher catches the toddler to control decent into the water and, depending upon the skill of the toddler, dips head under water.
Toddler screams with laughter and shouts, “again” - or, if you are Chaos and Mayhem, “more”.
When all team members are worn out, let the toddlers just float about in the pool.

Happy Wednesday everyone, hope someone has put our bins out for emptying.

Thanks Goacher...I was glad Harry wasn't touched too...luckily for said motorist...what really peed me off was when she stopped her car she said 'oh did I hit you' well you couldn't have had any doubt if you'd heard the noise of the car & her wing mirror snapping back...good grief your experience sounds horrendous...I think both Harry & me got off lightly.
