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


Thanks @PenguinMum

I don’t know if it was fox or feral cat or another animal. It was daylight when it happened.

No Popeye is not microchipped. He was born in 1992 before you did such things. Then with him being older I was worried how it might adversely affect an older cat. There were some bad reports at the time about 10 years ago of badly done micro chipping injuring cats or worse when he was 17. So I didn’t. But I wasn’t expecting another 10 years from him and him still going strong.

It wouldn’t have made any difference yesterday because whatever it was, apparently got him the moment he put his head out of the cat-flap, and the cat flap was broken because of his battle to rescue himself.

Obviously every time I am out now, he will be locked in my bedroom, and night time will be the wooden chest in front of the cat flap. But that would still have made no difference for yesterday afternoon.

He is on my bed now, making a fuss of me! And I am hugging him!

They do put us through it gennepher… however worried we are about them we still have to allow them to be hunter/gatherers/protectors...isn't it a relief when we know they're okay & safe.

Yes @HarryBeau that is true.

He has now gone between the blanket fleeces on my bed. And is purring. I will be asleep too in bit catching up on sleep. I can relax now...
 
So sorry about the m/c ignition damage.
Stupid idiot/s.
Take care.
 
Just taken a photo of Popeye asleep on my tummy and between my fleeces. But the orange blanket he is sleeping on reflected in his eye and made it look bloodshot, and it's not! So I altered the shot to black&white!

Putting my steam eye mask on now....and sleep...bye for now...
 
Do you ever think you are losing it. I was really tired before Christmas as the Autumn term had been really hectic and I had had no real summer break because I had done course work and exams. I ordered 25 bars of Montezumas in December and husband put them on the top shelf of the cupboard for me.

I promptly completely forgot they were there and ordered another 25 bars which arrived yesterday. I was so shocked to find I now have 50 bars of 100% chocolate - a huge stash. I couldn't remember ordering the bars before Christmas - but I checked my records and I definitely did order them on 6th December. Really scary.
 
thanks ian numbers are settling nicely post pump
 
Ah poor Harry looks exhausted after his encounter with the Dynamic Duo.

They were upstairs in their room...lots of sniffing when he comes in he knows there's 'someone' else here...similarly when they come down they play hunt the scent...when they're a lot bigger & the weather is warmer no doubt they will meet outside...Churchill had never been with dogs before 'Plumpy' once he got over the surprise he realised what a wuss 'Plumpy' was so just ignored him & and often sat in his basket...fingers crossed for the same result.
 
Good late Morening Ladies and Gentlemen.
Now not being a pet lover more a pet pot fancier, I don't condone unnessaray cruelty to animals and was not happy reading about a pet being savaged.

Well a 7.1 this morning, I shall say thank you and keep the meter under close supervision.

Well folks I have been unsupervised most of this morning and will be most of the afternoon, plans are in place. My plans are secret, but they involve me, me's and my mates chaos and mayhem. In all probability I will be sent to bed early by Mrs J after the neighbours complain again.

A strong North Westerly here today so no Muddy Cycle Rides, a day for getting on leaning the blues harmonica, how can something that looks so easy be so difficult?

Good question, and one I have often asked myself. I can usually manage with woodwinds; harmonicas, on the other hand ...
I wish you success with it. If Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger can do it ... and don't forget the original Stones bluesman, Brian Jones
 

I hear ya. 100-mile move for me, and I'm hoping there will be enough of me to pack and move enough of "mine" to manage in the new place. Right now I'm tempted to return Mama's desk to the friend who kept it for me for several years until I could send for it; pack up the KittenCat, my guitar and teddy bear, and book an Uber.
I do wish I had a couple of strong men to lift and load the heavy stuff -- I wish Timothy and John Mark were available, and Onesimus, if he's free ...
 

Good-looking scooter!
I'm just now seeing your post, and several others I seem to have missed yesterday, maybe when the site was down for maintenance?
I love the fact that Peggy's pillion seat is elevated; it must be great to be able to see the view; I remember riding around the countryside near Auburn Univ. with my "view" the back of a leather jacket and the fringe of hair between helmet and collar ... lol

I wish you and Lauren miles and miles of enjoyment.
 

Thank you. I am sorry I didn't see your post yesterday. It seems that while the site was down it lost several posts, which I am only just now seeing.
I hope that you have been able to get your puncture fixed ... they're enough of a problem when you live close to a service station; when you live far away ... sigh. I like living far away from commercial centers, but it certainly can be inconvenient, to say the least!
I hope my move can happen sometime this coming summer. I am now at the top of their waiting list, so just have to gather all the required paperwork together, then make an appointment to meet with the manager there, bringing my documents with me, then he will start his paperwork, and an apartment should be available about 3 months from that time.
Thank you about the furniture store. At this point I'm getting to where I don't like to go out much, even with Uber/Lyft -- drive-by shootings usually don't happen during the daytime, but things are getting so crazy here that who knows? All I need are a sofa and a mattress, and I was given two sofas and a mattress at the place where I lived before, so for all I know that might happen at the new place ... when tenants move out of senior apartment buildings their kids/grandkids often just give heavy pieces of furniture away in order to not have to pay to have them hauled away.
But I do have my eye on a lovely red sofa at one store ...

 
@HarryBeau whew, I am so glad you found Charlie! I had that happen once, ages ago, with my Dusenberg and Magic ...

@ianpspurs Hug for the letting-go. Your word "shrine" is certainly apt, I had not thought of moving that way before, but you are absolutely right. Similar feelings have helped determine my "choice" of destinations.
 

I hope all will go better this time.
