Group 7-day waking average?

What have you got in the craft cupboard. Any particular interest.
I would love to see what you make. There is a thread called Procraftination with photos of loads of stuff.

Actually it was @stephknits pics of the lovely cushions that got me going again. Thank you I will certainly look at the thread.
I believe you weave, does that take a lot of work space or does it just depend on what your working on.
I Quilt, do patchwork and knit, I go to Craft Shows which I am missing at the moment.

Glad that things are less wobbly now Colin.

We had new sash windows a few years ago. They are great when closed but do develop a rattle when open and we do like a bit of fresh air at night.

We’ve positively ancient sash windows but secondary double glazing otherwise we’d live in a permanent draught! They’ve dropped a bit, hence our rattling but to get them replaced like for like ( as we’re listed) is very costly but we’ll have to bite the bullet one day. 😱

I started with one small borrowed table loom in the corner of the attic and one weaving book. Now I have three looms, one of which has a footprint the size of a double bed. That was what I wove the blanket on that is in my avatar. It is a bit addictive, a slow process but I love doing it and I am in no rush. There are plenty of there who stick to smaller looms. I sold three saxophones so that I could buy my big loom!

Well, I am continuing to struggle with wayward levels despite not being naughty with carbs.
Spent yesterday afternoon feeding in correction after correction, despite not having anything much to eat. Went as high as 14.5 at one stage. Never used so much NR in a day and eaten do little. Managed to get it down to 8.4 at bedtime and had an extra unit of Levemir.
Woke up at 6.15am with a reading of 10.6 but it had been higher through the night. Shot myself some NR and went back to sleep and got up to a nice reading of 5.6. Since my levels have been sky high with or without carbs the last few days I decided to have porridge again this morning with berries, seeds and crème fraiche, which I enjoyed and whilst I soared up to 10 after eating it, I am back down to 5.3 now. Let's hope I can keep it there today.

@ColinUK Many thanks for your open and honest post. I would like to award it "Post of the week!" I hope your trip to the flower market has lifted your spirits and dropped your BG. Sad that your newly purchased plant has had to take a less than ideal spot... Could you perhaps gift it to a non cat owning friend?

@MeeTooTeeTwo ..... Getting boring Dez....but just 'cos I'm jealous. Congratulations yet again.

@Stitch147 , I really liking your waking BS in the 7’s: the lowest I’ve seen them; even lower than during & after your USA trip! 😛🙂😎

I've been less stressed with work recently but am dreading tomorrow, we'll see what happens. I have also lost almost a stone in weight recently, so that might be helping too.

G'day all. No reading, no blood. Got a tiddy pinprick but error came up on the machine.

Re eating. I don't think I eat my emotions. I just like eating. I think it's plain old fashioned greed in my case. Bit embarrassing really. I'm gonna try Exante tomorrow. Today is my brother's 57th and we've eaten dire foods and stuff I didn't want really. I don't like cake, goodness knows why I eat it then? Thing is, the doc said I will at some point be unable to eat so this struggle to stop eating now seems a bit off somehow. I'm going to be thin anyways!

Baz did your blood blister settle down any?

What Exante stuff did you order?

Good morning. 8.2. A very strange night, I was utterly convinced that I had not eaten enough to cover my NR and so instead of one deep sleep I had about 10 or 15 naps. Worried you see? It was also very hot and sultry. Needn't have worried a higher reading than most mornings.

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 6.1 for me today 🙂

 

[Baz.]

Morning All, it's a 6.1 for me this morning from this windy neck of the woods .

 

[SB2015]

I have spent the night battling elevated glucose levels. Got up to 16.8 at one point.
Now reading 12.8 and gradually taking basal rate up. No ketones, pain in lower left back so thinking kidney infection but no symptoms of urine infection. A puzzle to sort this morning rather than our planned day out.

 

[Hazel]

Morning all - how are you?

7.3 for me, which is not too terrible as I had nothing to eat yesterday, some fluids and no meds. I had a really bad fall on Saturday afternoon. Nothing broken just my dignity. I took myself off to bed (safest place) and slept on and off for 36 hours. Up and about fine this morning, just getting ready to hit Morrisons before it gets too busy. This old age is a bummer.

Take care people, keep safe and that includes me too xx

 

[Gruers]

It’s 6.6 from me today
off to golf soon, have a good day everyone

 

[freesia]

Morning all. A VERY disappointing 10.0 for me this morning. Have been 100% in target for 4 days until this morning. Oh well, hopefully just a blip. Didn't do as much activity yesterday so thats probably why

 

[Bloden]

Morning all. 😛 4.1 here.

Aw, @Hazel, poor you. I hope you’re feeling better today.🙂

@SB2015 - is that a couple of days with high BGs? Best phone the doctor to be sure. Take care!

At last, I’m allowed to travel further than 5 miles, yippee! Off to see my mum and best friend today. It’ll be weird driving soooooo faaaaaar.😛

 

[Robin]

Morning all, 5.1 here. Jelly babies in the night again, despite reducing basal by half a unit. Don’t think it’s the Libre sensor that's the problem, I think it’s me!

 

[khskel]

Morning all and 5.5 for me.

It was great having a long weekend . Dug my good clarinets out and got them in playable condition with s bit of cleaning and oiling.

Ah well back to the home office.

Have a good day everyone.

 

[Kaylz]

Morning

Had a very low mood day yesterday, felt very pressured too, spent a lot of it in tears, not much else to do, really not coping well at all, repeat prescription ordered last night – needles, test strips and lancets, Bruce has said he’ll get his mum to take him up the chemist to pick it up for me on Thursday or Friday (if its ready) as that’s the days she gets him from work

Anyways enough rambling I suppose but I just don’t know what to do with myself these days, its a 4.9 here

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx

Morning all. 6.5 today considering the rubbish ( to me) I’ve eaten since the kids landed! When the final one goes home today, back to good wholesome food. Today’s weather looks to be a vast improvement on yesterday which was atrocious. Will try and get the teenager out for a walk when she eventually surfaces, and after I get rid of the mountain of crumbs which seem to be in every room in the house! No home schooling needed, it’s slowed down she said, well they do “ break up” next week for summer! It’s been great seeing the kids after all this time though, as the three youngest left they were asking when they could come back! It was even suggested the two households alternate on a daily basis! As much as I love them, that ain’t gonna happen!
@Bloden enjoy your freedom.
@Hazel hope you’re ok today, you know what they say when you fall... if everyone laughs...you’re young, if everyone rushes to help you up...you’re old!
@SB2015 hope you get sorted so you can enjoy your day!
@Robin, it’s not you, it’s US!
Have a great day, no sneaking off to the pub though. After seeing the photos from Saturday night I thought I’d been imagining the pandemic these last four months!
