Group 7-day waking average?

Morning. 5.8 after a much better night’s sleep.

Mr Eggy at GP 9 o’clock, I’ll drive him down and do a bit shopping whilst he’s in. Otherwise not much else going on. Weather too unpredictable at the moment to make any plans.

Have a great day everyone and congratulations @MeeTooTeeTwo on the HS.🙂
 
Morning all, glorious sunshine here but very wet underfoot. If you don't get out quick to garden you don't get out at all! Deluges later. Where has the garden thread gone? I can never find anything. I want to post a pic of my new rose, it's lovely. A gift in the post from a wonderful friend I met on here. 7.1 @ 6.03
 
Mirning all. A much more acceptable 6.2 today. Finally!
Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning folks. :D 7.1 here.

The kitchen’s moving forwards at a steady pace. Dave the fitter had his first jab yesterday, so I hope he’s feeling fit enuff to keep on fitting!🙂

My knitting group are actually meeting today - no more Zoom, yay. But I’m off to my mum’s to hang curtains so I won’t be joining them this week.

Happy Tuesday, peeps.

If his arm is sore you can massage it for him. That kitchen needs finishing.
 
Morning . 4.7 for me after a birthday meal out last night...where much guesstimating took place and a 5am jelly baby. Libre 2 alarm woke me.

Our daughter came home yesterday, so one day overlap with our son before he flies back to Canada today...sad he’s going back, It’s been so lovely having him home, but a shame he hasn’t been able to spend more time with his sister. Even though they’re both in their 20s when they get together they are like children again and there’s lots of laughter and silliness. Lovely to have our daughter home now for a few days.

Nice HS @MeeTooTeeTwo

Fingers crossed things have settled down, at last, for you @rebrascora

Looks like quite a bright start here. Yesterday turned out much nicer than the forecast predicted so hopefully today will too.

Have a lovely day all x
 
Hi folks.
Didn’t mean to worry anyone but been going through the wringer a bit.
Stopped doing daily BG checks for a while too.
Been listening to philosophy podcasts (Philisophize This!) and just getting my head straight a bit.
Dealing with the police, although they’ve been fantastic, takes a huge toll and frankly I just ran out of reserves.
Something had to give and what gave was the regime of self testing.
I was fixating on the numbers and if they weren’t where I expected them to be I’d feel I’d let myself down. Paradoxically if they were ok I’d then give myself permission to make unwise food decisions.
I’m hoping that by stepping back and examining how I feel when I eat certain things I’ll be less reactive to the numbers when I restart daily testing (which won’t be for a couple of weeks I’m thinking).
In other news, no real developments regarding the court case. It’s just plodding along at legal speed.
Balcony is looking fine although one balcony box just died whilst the other one, placed with the exact same things, is fine so it’s now got random things planted in it.
And I’m seeing more of the folks as we’re all double vaccinated and I’m redesigning their garden after dad basically hacked it all down in an effort to tidy it up.

Even if I’m not testing at the moment I may still pop in and say hi and stuff if that’s ok with everyone.
 
Morning all, 5.4 here, sitting in a cottage in the wilds of the North Yorkshire moors listening to the rain beating down and watching the sheep getting wet. Came through torrential rain on the Motorway yesterday, but at least it had the decency to stop while we did a detour to Fountains Abbey. Every evening the weather forecast looks promising, and every morning when we get up it’s changed overnight. Had planned a nice sunny walk today, may settle for doing a shorter rainy one instead.
Good to see you again, @ColinUK , keep checking in with us!
 
08:12 BS 7.7 with LR 2 hours late is not as bad as I feared: heard the alarm at 6am & just switched it off in annoyance, turned over & back to sleep! WHAT a day yesterday was as it was a right royal battle between 3 things :- breathing & having to up the inhalers; heart rate & blood pressure although, I’m only guessing the BP as I couldn’t measure it but, I did measure the heart rate & it around 100, 98 to 103, all day; which both led to higher BS & more NR but, still managed without increasing LR with BS in the 12’s & 11’s & finally in the 10’s after eating! Dozed off just after breakfast, had one of those horrible nightmares where you think you’ve woken up, 3 times, only to find you haven’t & still fighting off killer snakes, in this instance, & my heart rate was 150 by the time I DID wake up with BS 14.3: that made me scared to sleep yesterday & I was VERY tired & could have done with the extra rest as I was still ill; sheer exhaustion DID send me off eventually after 8pm by which time, thank goodness, all 3 things were starting to come down BP, could only feel it & not actually measure, heart rate down to 82, normal resting for me is about 84, & BS 10.2 at 20:00 90 minutes after dinner! I had a long & restful sleep with no nightmares to send my heart racing & still tired now so, have set alarm for 11:30 as I have asda shopping coming 12:00 to 14:00 & they’ve been early a few times & off to sleep, if I can, now, taking longer than I thought to post this & may be a bit more woken up to sleep, in which case I’ll just rest? I DO feel better & felt it straight off upon waking that breathing is easier!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Hoping Little Miss Sleeping Beauty can get a bit more sleep? 🙄
 
A 5.3 for me at 06:05 this morning.

Congrats on the HS @MeeTooTeeTwo

@ColinUK Glad to hear you're OK. Been worried about you.

Have a great day everyone

It sucks that you're going through so much but it sounds like you have a good handle on it even if it probably doesn't feel that way at times.

You know yourself best so keep doing what you're doing and look forward to reading your posts when you eventually feel up to posting again.

Take good care.
