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

Oh that does sound an exhausting day @dunelm
Better have some rest and a coffee...

Like the finished sketch...
 
Morning all especially those behind the lines on a secret mission because an oeuf isn't enough. Communication let me/JKP down - no Tony you can't croon here - over service/mot which was rescheduled for Sept. 13th. Early morning bloods done and Belgian buns purchased for JKP and MIL so it is tea O'clock here. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art with the subtle but vital finishing touches. Take care with that busy schedule. @gennepher thanks for the creative and best wishes for #egggate. @Annb I hope the missing chapters turn up. @Krystyna23040 enjoy the Victoria if and when you eventually manage to pack Two grandchildren again today but only until 3 ish so no evening meal to prepare for them, mum and dad - every little helps. Make the most of your day - there are rumours you can go your own way

Lovely ink art, enjoy the egg hunt.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs. It’s all go here and other ‘essential’ chores have been shoehorned into an already tight schedule
 
Yes, I do have all the original files, but have been a bit remiss in these final stages and haven't backed up properly, which means that, if I can't find the finished ones, I'll have to re-edit the originals. No big deal really, just a puzzle, but then, as I've said before, technology isn't, any longer, my strong point.
 
7.5 at 7.30 this morning. Turned over earlier and managed to get back to sleep again. Also finding I can move my left foot more today - the foot and ankle were just one solid immovable block until last evening when I found I could actually bend the ankle. Still a bit sore, but I don't think I'll be using the wheelchair in the house today. Things are looking up. Maybe this is the medics' strategy these days - make you wait for attention and it may well fix itself. Or maybe it's psychological.
 
6.7 this morning. Packing all done and we will be shortly heading off to Holkham. Dogs are on high alert because they know something is going on.
Grand place at this time of year, though I couldn't walk very far now in Wells Woods or at RSPB Titchwell. And walking down the stone bank to Blakeney Point is a fading memory.

Have a great break!

Helen is going there after retiring in September on a course on gardening for ten sessions at one per week.
There is a number of very good garden centres around there. A good friend of mine from the youth club nearby, is doing the same, but he has farming background as well. Lots of greenery around that area of the peninsula! The North Wales coast line across the River Dee is always in view.
Too green and quiet for this townie!
 
Took the better half shopping to Lidl this am.
We have a decent day for a change with the sun shining.

Raining first thing then brightened up a little bit, Sun trying, but will fail. Wind is picking up again.
so no garden work yesterday or today! Drat, double drat!

6.3 this morning.
Woke up, needed to get up but it was still dark, got back in bed, then more darkness descended. It wasn't anything to do with the dawn or night. It was brain telling me that it wouldn't be impressed with my willingness to arise as I needed to be today!
Today's word is........melancholic!
That is my morning. I just couldn't face it till I got on with my chores!
Headache, eyes, stressful, down, lethargic and my brain hurts, not much but it is heavy!
Mrs L was sympathetic of my feelings and is now having a nap to be out of the way. Everything is annoying and I can't be ***** being angry about it all.
Chores had to be done because of another visit from council, housing services which is later.
I just feel down and yuk!
It is a feeling I have not had since after my breakdown, it is ugly and horrible. I have learned the tools to counter something like this, and I'm working through them.
Been the shop for necessities but was walking through heavy sand, in a drudge, no smiles today for those who served me or neighbours. I just want to be by myself!
It's been a long morning, hopefully I can get the other side of this day.
I know what it is. It is the realisation of my life and how it's changed so much, coming home to roost. And I'm not sure I'm prepared or ready to have the tools to do it! Confident of being able to cope.
I have had a few tears this morning. I think a good cry will help as will getting this off my chest.
I'm grateful for being able to do this, my next counselling is ten days away, at this moment, I have no sounding board, nor will I bother one of my family, they have no need for me to burden them with my feelings!
A cuppa needed and a Kleenex I think!
Have a better day than I am having!
I will bounce back!
My best wishes as always.
Sorry, I did another long post!
And the artwork and the friendliness on here is brilliant!
Thanks.
 
Now here's a pickle. My backup drive seems to have gone on strike. Found my original files and am in the process of sorting them out again, but when I tried to backup - nothing. Then a message telling me that I don't have permission to access the backups. Tried backup one and backup 2 - no deal. So it's the laptop that is at fault. Aaaargh! Wonder if I have enough external memory sticks to just save everything to be on the safe side. Just checked - no I don't. Have to leave as is and hope Neil can fix it. He's already decided that he can't fix the toaster - that's a very rare occurrence. But there's a bit of a difference between buying a new toaster and buying a new laptop.
 
Got some thank you...
