Group 7-day waking average?

Just in the door & SO knackered AND relieved!

Felt SO terrible today with my heart racing like mad, fluttering & erratic! They were running late & already sat down when I felt faint, tested & BS 13.3. Only managed to eat 2 chicken frankfurters after testing this morning & gave myself 4 NR, no meds or tresiba until I get back, will do it now! Already starting to feel faint when taxi dropped me off at the hospital & had munched a JB, everything in the shopping bag with oatcakes, JB’s, inhalers & test kit, & the JB contributed to that 13.3 the 2nd time, sat outside the treatment room, when I felt faint. Tests done & they wanted a urine sample & knew it this time so, mustered up my will power NOT to go whenever I leave the house: it’s a VERY strong Pavlovian Association response in me; if you know anything about psychology, I did both GCSE & A levels, there’s a very famous experiment where Pavlov sounded a bell just before feeding some dogs & an association was formed whereby the dogs salivated in response to the bell because they expected to be fed! I always go before I leave the house & when I hear running water when washing my hands: literally sit there until I squeeze SOMETHING! So, I thought I could, this time, as I usually can’t after doing it earlier when leaving the house! Nope! No can do AND I squeezed SO hard that I discovered WHY I feel SO off today: cycle completely out of the blue; caught me needing lots of tissues in my panties for the journey back! The stress has sent my hormones haywire! Feeling wiped out & try to get as much rest as possible now!

Meds & tresiba first!

I’m not behaving like myself today! I don’t usually talk to strangers but, I couldn’t shut up to the male nurse taking my bloods today: he took it in his stride & was very kind; that’s worth a LOT as I’ve witnessed how unkind, downright mean, nurses can be in the Government hospitals in HK that the average person can afford, they can be even to the dying like my mum was back in 2015!

Look what has just plopped through my letter box! 🙂
I won’t show the photo as I don’t want to put you all off your breakfasts! :rofl:

We filled in the on line application on Thursday 18th August. Took old passports to PO and sent second class recorded. They arrived the following Monday and they started our application. Two weeks later( we’ve had a bank holiday) we’ve got them. Why are some taking so long? I can only assume it’s possibly mistakes made on the form or the photo isn’t right. Whatever, I’m pleased. Algarve we’re coming home! 🙂

May be to do with different passport office, or more checks having to be done (seems to be particularly common to have delays with children's passports from some of the news stories I've seen)
 
I didn't test on waking today, rushed as first day back at school for my second child - went with them on the public transport today to reassure them (they have anxiety) then came back home for breakfast! Pre- breakfast was 5.3 so very happy with that. Had half a cinnamon & raisin bagel, and one of my bacon & egg "cups" and post meal was a nice 7.5 so looks like half a bagel with something else is OK for breakfast, just can't have a full bagel with just a little fat/protein
 
I completely forgot about my passport! It’s been sitting there expired since June 2018: only JUST managed to use it back in May 2018 to see my sister before she passed; that was only in Bury, Merseyside though & so, not strictly necessary! I kept meaning to getting renewed but, forgot about it as I haven’t travelled anywhere since 2018!

I’ll try renewing online & it’s just the photo I need to get then!

You just take your own photo on your phone and download it. There’s certain specifications of course. No smiling, no glasses, no hair covering your eyes, light background, it took us ages! But they approved it. I look very stern!

Thanks for that! There’s no particular hurry NOW I’ve decided not to go anyway! But, it’s a wake up call to get it done for future necessary trips outside the UK!

I like the passports going back to the midnight blue colour: hated the burgundy!

We got different addresses to send them too. One to Glasgow and one to Liverpool, but it did say if it was a family or couple to put them in together and write the reference number of them on the envelope. Sent them to Glasgow in the end.

Great minds think alike.... and all that! 🙄 😉
 
Morning all. 6.7.

I’ve good news and bad news today. Good news is I had a holiday booked before 9am yesterday, just one hour after passports arrived. The apartment I really wanted was still available and flight price was about the same. Phew! Algarve here we come. Less than four weeks, I’m excited but nervous as we haven’t been abroad since you know what started. The bad news is, I’m absolutely full of cold. Pesky grandchildren. The youngest three all had the sniffles last Friday and have very kindly shared it with me. Sore throat, cough, sore ears and a nose that’s running like a tap. We’re away for the weekend with all the family, fingers crossed there’s improvement or I won’t be doing all the adventurous actives I had planned! ( We’re going to Center Parcs). Damn and blast. 😉 I’m joking of course, I was planning on leaving all that to the kids. The most risky thing I’ll be doing is offering to pay for it! My flexible friend won’t know what’s hit it!😱 Ah well, as they say, you can’t take it with you.

Have a great day. My little cherubs are back at school today. Two big ones going into year 11 ( fifth year in old money) GCSEs next year! Our Sadie is starting in reception. She was upset last night and said she didn’t want to go. The strange thing is she has attended pre school there, five half days, for 1.5 years. Must just seem more daunting staying all day, plus she’ll go on the school bus so that’s quite a change. I’m sure she’ll be fine. I won’t settle until I know she’s in and happy. They’re all growing up so fast. :(
 
Good morning a slightly more respectable 5.5 today

on a positive note yesterday
finally was seen for initial assessment by another surgeon at another hospital
so following the X-rays etc I’m now on his wai list (around twelve months) for ankle fusion

on the attempted house purchase
not so good, mortgage offer is fast running out building society have yesterday confirmed
they aren’t offering any extension to their mortgage offer!
so looks like I will be paying about double the interest (if I have to re-apply) having made the mortgage application back in Feb - still waiting and everything is crossed we canstill, both exchange & complete before mid next month (on the current mortgage offer) but I can see us ending up just looking for something else and paying more.

Take care and have a fantastic day everybody 😎
 
Good morning everyone

BG 4.8 this morning. Very happy with that especially as I had a "feasting' evening. Well, it would have been rude not to have eaten the cake.

@Lanny so sorry to hear your news and, yes, grief can be so hard. Keep well and know that the pain does reduce with time.

@ColinUK cholesterol is an interesting and perplexing subject. I didscovered that whatever you eat and drink in the days before the test directly affects the test results. Mine dropped from 7.2 to 5.5 in just 2 weeks of being careful before the second test. Statins? I avoid as many extra medicines as possible, but they can be helpful.


It is raining outside so I will have to postpone my morning walk until later on.

Dental appointment early this afternnon.

Tonight for tea it's worms, slugs and woodlice (in reality...egg noodles, mushrooms and pieces of chicken). My daughters daughter thought that I meant it when I accidentally spoke it out. Her reaction was as expected for a 3 year old.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Well I've been awake moving about for a while due to an unwelcome small geast which I can't seem to scare away but decided to check and it's 10.6 the small guest might have had something to do it.
 
Bonjour. 6.7 this morning for me.

Tough day yesterday. Client said something incredibly triggering along the lines of it only being women who get raped.
Understandably I had an emotional and physical response to that trigger and it took me a while to regain my poise after that meeting has ended.
Colleagues present all know my history and were supportive afterwards.

Guess what I spoke about in my therapy check-in.

Slept ok last night, only waking at 1, 2:30, 3, and finally at 4:15 before throwing in the towel and picking up my Kindle for a read. Was trying to read Robinson Crusoe as I don’t think I’ve ever read it before. Found it so impenetrable that I’ve given up and switched to the latest Stephen King instead.

Working this afternoon but nothing else planned today.
 
Morning all. 10.7 and been hovering in 11s overnight. Probably due to 2 small hypos after tea.
 
8 this morning, here on the beautiful island of Colonsay. Here’s yesterdays spot for a brew with a view (and with a mini pack of haribo tangfastics for the hypo)
