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

Good morning all and welcome to October. Not ready to test yet so no fbg here. I hope everyone enjoys their day whatever life throws at them. We have 2 granddaughters all day and our grandson to collect from school then feed, water and enjoy all 3 until collected. DIL is using her dog psychology degree skills on one of our pups - Ben - who is a little rugger. Working well and one benefit of living so close.
 
Hi all,
Jabs at pharmacy this am for better half and I.
Yesterday was a different day, windy and wet, but today looks like it will be an ok day.
We look forward to a long talk on the phone to our youngest in York tonight.
She text me the other day because grandsons folded outdoor tennis table had blown over in the gales and got damaged, and the garage was damaged as well and other things were not right.
I told the better half and she still worries even though the two of them are 50 and 57.
She then worries and doesn't sleep.

14 year old grandson plays a lot of table tennis and has played in a York club, mens team for c.2 years and Covid19 has rather disrupted his game.

There is not a lot one can do in this Pandemic when they are c.130 miles away.
Her hubby is not good with his hands. She has a maths degree and takes the brunt of all the problems they have, technical and non technical.
I keep forgetting I am not the dynamic man I once was.
Finished up having a migraine aura last night when I was doing the rump steak in butter, but it didn't stop me eating it.
D.

Good morning everyone from a lethargic start in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of avocado and bacon salad came in at 4.7 this am

Welcome to October, I hope it is a good month for you. I need koffy and possibly a nap.
Just a bit of yesterdays bamboo practice on lining paper this morning.

 

Thank you @jjraak

Something is not well in the state of Denmark...

I really don't know, but I was in total panic mode yesterday, brain refused to function properly.

I am clearing a table in my front room today, to plan with military precision for Monday. This includes keeping me in Flintshire until the last possible minute, thus avoiding main dual carriageway roads and England, and entering Wrexham at the last possible minute, preparing all the stuff I need for the appointment as requested on their list, and much more.

That's an idea...I will have the department's number to give to the police if needed, and more stuff. I am back in control. I was not in control yesterday. I flipped totally, firing off emails to friends which did not make sense to them...

Back in total control today, or at least as much in control as it is for any human being to be. It's all an illusion anyway.

Any more ideas, like phone number of hospital for police is welcome...even silly ideas. I will read them all.

Thanks.

Now the ravens are cawing outside in my garden...not sure if that is a good sign.........
 
Take care @Muddy Cyclist
Life has to go on in some ways. We need it also for our sanity.
 

We still think we have that 17 year old's body that can do this dynamic stuff. (I do!) @lindisfel

Maybe it's still good we have that illusion
 

Oh wow. That works well with the dry brush stroke on lining paper @dunelm
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen. If you don't fit into these categories please feel free to complain.

This morning a 5.6 on the meter of misbehaving, naughtiness and mystery.

Well fellow posters and painters on this thread, today is the start of a new month and during this month I shall be searching the Internetty for my Christmas goods, sprouts which are in short supply, lights which I have been informed I can get from auld fashioned butchers and festive trees ready for the new rumoured Christmas day 1st Dec.

As our old colonists say " have a nice day ". Now me and me's must go, we have people to annoy on another section of reality.

There are no plans currently at my doctorless surgery to give us the flu shot, and I cannot get any at local pharmacies. So looks like I won't get the flu shot this year @jjraak
Maybe this is an experiment? On us?

I shall survive, flu shot or not...

So sorry you are having all this worry over your hospital appointment and now the additional worry about not being able to get a flu shot. Hope all goes well today.
 
Fbg 6.8

Will have that down tomorrow unless there is another crisis today.

I declare today a holiday from crises. Not allowed today. Which means I won't open mail, or email, or any chat apps.

Not having any luck bidding for postcards on eBay this morning. They are going for silly season prices. I wanted some dinosaur postcards (old but interesting ones), for the grandchildren, but the bidding increased to silly levels. I made one last bid doubling my bid into the extreme silly season. But someone leapt in and doubled my silly high bid. Oh well...

Ravens are cawing in my garden. Making a racket.
So what do I paint today?

Thank you very much @Krystyna23040

I have declared that today is a National Holiday from Crises, and any Untoward Events...


Hope your day is amazing!

I'd be inclined to let doctors know that if you do get stopped, you're giving the police their number so they can call for confirmation of urgency ..might ease any concerns pre journey, and be invaluable if actually stopped.

Really good advice @jjraak.

Good that your DIL's dog psychology skills are working well. We could have done with her skills when Archie was young as he was a little rugger also.

This handling of the Covid crisis by government is unfortunate, and causes knock on effects they had never considered would be a consequence for the people. I think our brains have a lot to adjust to, which we were not prepared for, or rather, didn't have the tools to deal with.

I think we have to daily readjust to a lot @Krystyna23040
And we can become overloaded.
