Ate the broccoli first, then a couple of thighs, then the rest of the thighs with the chips. Hoping that order would keep the sugar spike lower. Yummy yummy!

That's really great to hear. So glad you're better.

Things going well here. The kid just got confirmation that she'll be getting one on one online full days'classes with a tutor from a special school that can provide what kids with ASD need. Hopefully after some time she can get to attend physically and perhaps even get back to a regular school. So very very pleased about that. Although there will be stresses involved in getting used to the new situation it'll be so good for her long term.

Everything else is good. Trying to split training between upper body and lower body to make training every day easier. Feels good. Had my diabetic retinopathy screening last month and that showed no signs of damage, so feeling positive over all. If all goes well with the kid, I'll be able to get out and about a bit more and get to some gigs and getting a bit more of a regular life started. It's been a long time! LOL
 
So sorry you’re having such a tough time, teenage girls can be challenging at the best of times
Must be especially difficult having your mum as well & working from home
Things will get better, hopefully she’ll get back into physically being back at school & make some new friends
Splitting training is a good idea, you can train more often, guessing that’s your ‘me’ time at the moment
Hang on in there you’re doing a great job as a father & a son
Take care & look after yourself
