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

[ianpspurs]

Fbg of 4.8 today early doors. 40 hours without food will do that as well as have me at 71 kgs (and make lipid profile deteriorate) - should I go after 70 kgs I wonder? 2nd Ember day today but not planning on fasting although it does avoid all the nonsense of macros and food choices. Youngest granddaughter in our sole care this afternoon and sleeping? with us - DIL preparing a set of copious notes. Hugs for the sad news @Krystyna23040 and I understand how miffed you are by your reading @PenguinMum Have a great day and weekend.

5.9 this morning and all's well

Thank you @SaskiaKC for making my morning, muffin eater means something totally different where I am from, haven't laughed like that so early before

I hope you have a fabulous time and in all seriousness... stay safe.
Ganesh might keep you happy but it's Vishnu who will bail you out, his number is +917987...

Enjoy the day

I am glad I made you laugh. You just made my morning -- I think ...

Of course now I hope you will tell me what muffin eater means where you are from; especially because I chose it over my first attempt of "crumpetvore" because even Americans know there are different definitions of "crumpet".
Actually I think I can guess what m***** e**** means ....

 

[SaskiaKC]

It is literally freezing here this morning. I didn't even have to translate the temperature, as every schoolchild knows 32F = 0C. Now if I could just get my FBG down with the temperature ... 7.4 this morning.

@jjraak Early Bon Voyage to you and Lauren of Arabia! Are you going back to the same places you have posted about before, or somewhere new? Either way, I hope y'all will have a wonderful time.

Fbg 6.5

Feeling better today from Thursday's incompetent nurse that caused me so much pain. My brain went awol yesterday because it was the straw that broke the camel's back after my week of tribulations. I couldn't even do something simple. (Yes I will be making a formal complaint about that nurse)

I am late in waking up. Had more sleep. And my brain feels back to its normal....

Oh, and Popeye slept on my chest all night, checking my face periodically with his whiskers... Actually that made me think of J...he had white whiskers too...little children would look at him in awe and turn to their mums "Is that Father Christmas?"

Anyway, another blue experiment. My first try didn't work out on each, so I dried them with the hot air gun, and tried again on top of the first one.

A mister was used...no @SaskiaKC a water mister...

This was sprayed and then the blue paint painted on top, and this time it was getting a bit towards the effect I'd had in mind. Will try this again tomorrow.

Have a good day.
Create mayhem...I encourage you...
Have fun...
Take care

These are beautiful paintings. Thank you for posting them. The blues and white are very cool and refreshing to me.
I am glad you are feeling better today. You have had an almost-shattering week. I was thinking about you a week ago today when I had to go out looking for my lost hat in freezing wind without my walking poles, because of the thoughtlessness of my neighbor-driver. But all was well and I made it -- then slept most of the following day.
I have known some very nice watermisters in my time ...

good day all

Triple Win for you and your catlings.

Good morning everyone from a very moist dark and dangerous north.

The wonder wheel of fine blue skies, train rides and funicular cliff rides came in at 4.5 this am.

Appointment with a sports physio this morning, something to look forward too.
Have as wonderful as day as you can. A couple of pictures from our day out yesterday.

7.45am FBG 5.7
Quite pleased with that, considering the 3am lemon tea with large chunk of cheese.
Today feeling a little more positive - or I was until had to decline invitation to family party next week. Short notice. High prices on ferries. We just can't do it. The bank is begining to look thin, and the remaining time far too short for the considerable work still required. Somebody invent the 10 day week.
On a more positive note we have an date for the electricity company to call. Not sure if this is merely an appraisal, or they will actually do the neccessary upgrades then. Either way it has taken from mid November to get this far.
And to add to the debate about panic buying of handwash. I really need to get some more.

A NOOOO .YOU DONT..
For the first part of your post

And a "PHEW" thank goodness .... with those last few lines.

The story of how I drew a turtle ...

I picked out my "mauve" glitter pencil, the color Crayola used to call "thistle," the color of a '57 Chevrolet:

thinking I would draw a sworl or two, like paisley ... but once I had drawn one that sort of pleased me I decided it looked like a turtle's head and neck, so I drew the shell ... and the tail, although at the time I thought the tail was a mistake I'd made with the edge of the shell ...
So anyway I added some legs that I'm not very happy with but at least I gave them webbed feet since this turned out to be a swimming turtle, looking back down at ... her shell? ... no, something below the surface of the water ... not anything scary ...
A baby turtle, swimming after her like a baby whale or porpoise, but he looked more like a running dog or a dog leaping over something ...
Sea flowers waving in the current, but they looked more like broccoli limbering up ...
and some shells in the sand below, that turned out to be a snail looking up at the turtles ...
And I learned how to draw waves ...

Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My bank is looking kinda thin too -- and it can't even put on a few pounds. ...
I am sorry you must miss your family gathering ...
Hugs.
