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

I’m so happy for you Saskia it sounds perfect. When are you hoping to make the move? ( sorry if you’ve already mentioned this)

I haven't, and thank you for asking. The moving date will depend on how quickly the paperwork comes back from all the agencies involved, and, once that's back, it will just be a matter of waiting until there is a vacancy. The manager mentioned one prospective tenant who applied last November and is still waiting, but that's only been a few months. I am hoping for late Spring - early Summer.
Since the federal government subsidizes tenants' rents in these senior properties, the properties have to collect financial information such as bank statement confirmations, costs of prescription drugs, pension statements -- anything having to do with income and any financial assets. I signed my name like a bestselling author yesterday, to doc after doc after doc -- and now all those release forms must be sent out to the banks, etc., for confirmation of the financial info I entered on the application form.

The little dog who traveled with us yesterday reminded me of Dennis with all his facial hair -- a Chinese Crested powder puff, with eyebrows and mustache and ear-tufts.

that deaf ears syndrome..i think it's one of the complications of T2D.

We just can't realise how hoodwinked we have been for SO long and want others to see the light.

Sadly the TWM* virus has spread too far and become a Pandemic amongst the majority of the mortals..

LOL i enjoyed reading about that!
I love red pandas, too. How nice that the animals are well cared for.
 

Thank you.
I am hoping for an upstairs apartment, with a balcony, so that (hopefully) the KittenCat will be enclosed should she try to dash out when I open the door onto it. I would worry about that happening if we had a ground floor apartment, as instead of a balcony the sliding glass door opens onto a little patio that is open to the back lawn. I think she would love looking out through a ground-floor glass door, though -- but I don't like to think how freaked out she would be at sight of her first deer ... or bear!

Thanks,@jjraak. Yes, my fbs have been raised for several weeks accompanied by a strange sore mouth which hasn't responded to mouthwashes, hence the dentist's visit. GP suspects it is related to my diabetes. I have an appointment on Monday for my annual diabetic check-up too. My recent Hba1c wasn't too bad at 56 or 58? so it's a mystery. Best wishes to you.
 
The days with grandchildren sound like fun, cheek-tweaking included!
I wish you all a lovely afternoon ... now that I have eaten my sausages and swallowed my pills I am going to heed the KittenCat's call and go back to bed for a while ...
 

Oh of course..how could i forget..Doh.

yes that would explain it perfectly.

best wishes it's a simple fix, and you get back on the plains as soon as possible.
hugs for the day.
 

I hope the dentist will be able to diagnose the problem and clear it up for you. I wonder if it could be exacerbated by all the stress that has been thrown at you recently. A straightforward physical condition might be easier to diagnose.
Hugs.
 

Might be worth investing in an external hard drive and keeping all your files on it - I have a 1TB one, smaller than a fag packet - helps to prevent clutter on your your laptop. I also save everything drop box also, just in case.
 
Oh can’t you tell that it’s half term and time to unload the kids onto their grandparents. Ours are still inbound (three) and we will have them until Sunday. All preparations are now complete including strips of duck tape for the noisy one.

Doctor decided to give me some extra special under the counter products (“you know you want some”) that will allegedly numb the pain in order to do previously issued exercises - only a week’s worth though, don’t want to end up on the dark side of the moon, howling about tidal locking.

Journey home from doctors, via supermarket, was a live test of waterproof coats and the ability to tack into the squall without letting go of a shopping bag. Afternoon spent mainly trying to sort out how things can be uploaded onto my Brother’s website - by phone as he lives in France - good old google docs and the ability to share sprang to the rescue. Back into town for another bag of shopping - because that’s how I roll.

Drug van has just dropped off my dose of kumquat juice so better take some and then do more exercises - TTFN.
 

That’s a lot of paperwork, but it’ll be worth it I’m sure. I’m keeping everything crossed for you to move in the Spring. Perfect time for a new start.
Glad to hear of you had a friendly canine travelling companion, can’t beat a dog with eyebrows and a moustache.

@DJC3 sounds like you are on a tour of Cornwall’s best this week. I havent been to the Lost Gardens yet so look forward to your report. .

Oh you must go to Heligan if you have a spare day of your hols. It’s vast and wonderful, there’s woodland, a jungle ( with rope bridge - Dennis and I don’t cross there) formal gardens, veg, ponds, livestock - mostly rare breeds. I have an annual pass and go fairly often, Dennis likes the woodland walk. The cafe is good too with all homemade and home grown produce, sometimes a bit carby though. Today was cold and wet but it meant the half term crowds didn’t materialise until lunchtime which was good for us.
There is a great shop there too, sells a great selection of gin! in fact I bought a new coat there today, it’s SeaSalt brand, 100% waterproof with a lifetime guarantee and it was half price, I’ve been meaning to get a good waterproof coat for ages as mine just isn’t coping with the Cornish wind and rain. A good day.
Do you find your fbg is higher if you eat later in the evening? It seems to have quite a big effect on me, but it can make the evening seem long if I’ve eaten at 5.
 
Oh that sounds wonderful and I will put it in my planner for my next visit. Seasalt has been my favourite shop for some years now, the colours are wonderful. It can be a bit pricey though so great you got a bargain. I do believe their clothes are really well made and the thing I also like is I am usually a size smaller there lol. Agree about the eating time but I do like to eat with Mr PM which is usually 8pm. Glad you had a good day out, food for the soul, non carby Obs.
 

Thank you.
 
Sorry to hear that problem is persisting, must be very uncomfortable. Hope the dentist is able to solve it. Take care.
