Good afternoon everyone. Today was 4´8 before getting out of bed.
I´m not wearing a sensor at the moment, mine expired and I decided to have a night off and apply the new one today after a shower. Thing is I would like a walk but I´m more comfortable walking with the Libre on, as my levels tend to drop. At the same time I prefer to take my shower (previous to the sensor application) after the walk. Decisions, decisions...
I say I´d like to walk because I know is good for my health, BG and mood, and don´t want to spend my whole day off at home. But is not actually appealing to go outside now. At least I´m motivated because I´m spending a weekend in London soon, I booked trains and accomodation this morning and I´m now googling stuff and planning in my head. That will keep me busy if I don´t feel like doing much else today.
Yesterday evening I lived a stressful situation. Was ready for work, coat on, locked my room door... and realised I left my backpack inside. This contained my keys, my glucose meter and the skirt I wear for work. Inmediately phoned the landlord, who told me he was in Ireland...moment of panic. Where am I sleeping tonight? What about my insulin and contraceptive pills? How will I know if I´m hypo? I had the Libre reader in my pocket but the sensor was due to expire in 30 minutes. And my supervisor insisted on being on time this evening... Luckily the landlord has a maintenance guy in the town who has access to copies of the keys and he was able to sort it while I was at work.
Now that the big problem was solved, my immediate issue was I was lacking a piece of my uniform. Texted the supervisor who said she didn´t care what I wear, but I was embarrased to show up with those gray sweatpants combined with my shirt, waistcoat and tie 😳 I was tight on time but popped into Poundland on the way and got a pair of black jeggings. The guy in the till made me come back for my receipt "in case you need to change the size". I didn´t have a chance as I was wearing them 20 minutes later, but they did turn out to be a bit big for me. Looked nice enough tho. I arrived half running, out of breath, wondering if I´d be low (with no way to actually check)...but right on time. Ate a couple of Dextrose tablets for good measure and ready for action!
