Morning all, smoothish sailing here. Teaching again today, so on the road at 0630 - I’m spotting a nice bit of foot on the floor partway into the journey, but am reluctant to really hammer it properly when I’ve got a long drive ahead. There’s a nice predictable traffic jam halfway where I can do a quick bolus though
Mmmmm. Melted chocklit...
I am waiting for the multiverse metaphor !!!Evening teabags!
A long day in school today, with the worst behaved two classes in the entire establishment. I had to have six children removed from one lesson for fighting, throwing things, breaking equipment and swearing at the learning support assistant. They just don’t give a sh... poo. And their parents don’t care either.
Bloods still running a little high, even with a higher basal rate than I’d normally use for this part of the calendar, no idea if I’m coming down with nothing or not. Don’t think it’s stress, as I don’t get wound up by the feral little monsters. Been running high since Saturday.
Great rant, @helensaramay - I’ve almost left the forum on a number of occasions too, and only really hang out here at the moment. Hey ho. I may raise my head above the parapet and extend my tentacles again soon (enjoy the mixed metaphor)
Good luck for pump day, @porl69 !
Well done @evilclive. Add it to your CV.Today's unexpected interest - learning how to apply a libre sensor if the springy thing has gone ping. This wasn't very easy, though it would probably have been better if I'd known which bit had gone ping. The disk came out, so I thought I had to try and rearm the springy bit. Cue much poking of plastic, and even sawing off the top of the applicator so I could free the blue bit. I didn't do too badly, and eventually got it almost together, and was able to press the disk onto the sensor. Unfortunately at that point it all went ping again.
I did however now have the sharp metal inserty bit, so was able to put that into the sensor again, and I then simply manually applied the sensor. Strangely I felt nothing while doing it - obviously pushing it on is slower than the springy bit.
3 hours later and it all appears to be working - that's saved 50 quid or a tedious phone call
Hmm, this also probably means I now know how to replace a knocked off sensor. Dismantle the applicator, retrieve the needle, sterilise it, insert through the hole in the top the right way round (practice with a dead sensor?), manually stick on,
(s'pose I should put a note : I don't necessarily recommend doing this...)
Minds are like parachutes. They only work when they are open !!4 years ago, I had 2 GPs tell me that I was lying about my 65 years old (at the time of diagnosis) father being T1...which then got amended to an intimation I must have misheard what the hospital staff told him (in my hearing) and followed by I could only possibly be T2 and I just had to accept it.
I'm so glad I don't have to deal with them now. Also, that I didn't "just accept it."
Um, have you tried flying a desk !!Safely sat at my desk and not planning to go any where.
Multi-verse translation shift comming up !!I really want chocolate now.
I don’t have any
Do you ever get the impression that thinking is over-rated !!Hello all, had a bit of a cold these last few days, messed up my time in target,just a week before I go to the hospital. How unfair is that.
Recovering now though, and back in the mood for wasting time on the internet, and realising that being healthier just seems to make wasting time easier.
Going to try and do some useful things now.....................
