Group 7-day waking average?

It is surprising how little things can upset you. I had a name plaque with said Susan's room which was on my room door when my friend's Mum and Dad took me in when my Mum died when I was 15 and I had it on my greenhouse door but the string had broken and it was smashed into pieces on the floor. I thought perhaps I should take it to the Repair Shop but other half is trying to glue it back together.

That really tugs my heartstrings. Hope your other half can mend it. Hugs!
 
Evening all - despite the Met Office it didn't rain today and although it was sunny all day it was blooming cold!

6.2 this morning, hope this is the start of the HCL actually working as I have been 100% TIR today. This despite home made butternut squash and lentil soup for lunch with my nemesis - Bread!

I think I am coming down with some sort of dementia. Yesterday I totally forgot to put the tomato sauce into the aubergine filling - fortunately when we got home from the local we weren't very hungry and settled for a snack. Today I've had my sweater on inside out all day - not that it matters, it's one of those garments that have seams on the outside and no labels. No one has noticed!

Had a pedicure right after lunch, which was really nice and pampering. Then walked through the town and met up with Julian and the friends we normally meet on a Saturday, but they are going on holiday this weekend, so we had brought it forward. Came home, disassembled the aubergines and put the tomato sauce in the lamb mix. Finally got to post!

So sorry for those who are coming down with things!

Congrats to @MikeyBikey on your HS. Well done despite all your tribulations.

Hope you've all had a good day!

@PattiEvans I’m sure it’s not really dementia, but just the stress we are all under these days, although I think I did see something online somewhere recently (or did I just dream it)
that there may be a link between Diabetes and I can’t remember if it was Dementia or Alzheimer's
I get so confused myself anyway .. 😉
there is hope I am sure for us all (possibly)
 
Morning folks and folkess’s

6.0

Saw the GP yesterday for the appointment to talk about Mounjaro that the DN insisted upon.

GP was like “No idea why she insisted on you seeing me. It’s on your record you’re taking it, you’re losing weight, it’ll help with your already well controlled diabetes, it’ll help with mental health, it’ll help with everything and you can afford it but NHS can’t so carry on taking it”.
 
Morning my Friday folks. 4. This sensor has started reading low again. I’m going to remove it today, due on Sunday, according to the graph I’ve been in the red a lot of the night. No alarms but I did hear my phone vibrate quite a few times, I thought it was my aurora alert app!

Yesterday was total and utter chaos! My “picky” lunch went down very well. What a faff though, soup and a sarnie next week! What a mess they left behind, when my three girls get together they just laugh and joke, take the pee out of each other and revert back to childhood, ie leaving mam and dad to feed and water them then do the tidying up! And they totally forget they have children too! :rofl: They left in dribs and drabs and the final lot were gone by 5. And relax. Then the aurora struck and that was me for the rest of the night, Bobbing in and out of the garden taking photos. It sure put on a good show last night, easy to see by eye as it was a cold clear night. Mr Eggy was at a Camera Club Zoom meeting, he was raging. But when he finished about 9.30 he took himself for a wander in the locale. Think he’s got some good photos. Mine are amateur and blurry! But I saw the Northern lights and I’m grateful for that.

Today is a quiet day, bit tidy up of the house and garden as it’s supposed to be a decent day, glad to see those 18,000 mph winds have subsided! 😉

Have a fab Friday.

A few of my amateur and blurry aurora photos, and a one of my baguettes I made yesterday, still not pretty but tasted great.

Oh it was more conversational than I perhaps presented it. He’s a great GP with a really decent bedside manner.
He was very supportive of my taking it but just explained that I had never been in the range for anything where I’d be prescribed it under the NHS. I knew that already hence going private.

He said that hopefully in time the NHS will be mandated to prescribe glp1 meds more widely because he knows they’re life changing for many patients.

He checked my weight and BP really as something to do and we had a chat about his questionable biscuit choices. He had a cup of tea on the go act it was accompanied by a Viscount type chocolate mint biscuit. Everyone knows the only biscuit to have with tea is
 
Morning a 6.2 for me and my alarm went off at 4.3 in the night but just left it and a bit of DP sorted it.
Nice day yesterday and another trip to my new favourite gelato shop in Chester and had Madagascan Vanilla one.
He makes it all the day before and said it took ages to get the shape and topping on the White Chocolate and the displays are nearly colourful as the Northern Lights last night but I can’t eat stuff in the Sky except for the Galaxy lol.
Maybe a nice lunch out today after morning meetings so HAGW.
 
5.8.

Just happy to see a 5 at the front instead of a 6! Cold persists but fortunately hasn't worsened so fingers crossed this is as bad as it gets!

Last day of my first week in my new job. I think I'm going to like it but I'm looking forward to being comfortable in it. Always hard work learning a new way of doing things!

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. 8.0 for me...who knows why?!!

The Northern Lights looked the same over Tenby last night @eggyg - red and green.

Lesson planning will be delayed by an hour this morning - Welsh book club on Zoom comes first, after a swift walk with the puppy. She loooves meeting people!

It’s Friday, yippee!!
 
Morning all, 5.6 here. I've been awol in Italy, with dodgy wifi, but Ive cast caution to the winds today and am using up my phone data allowance.
Which meant I missed the Northern Lights last night, grr, both kids had sent me smug photos by the time I woke up this morning. Back home today, just time for a last walk round Udine (in the bit of Italy tucked up between Venice and the Slovenian border) to take some pics in the sunshine to replace the ones I took in the rain the other day. This is the first time we've seen the sun all week!

I was wondering where you were. Hope you get some sunshine on your last day. Might be a chance of the aurora tonight.
 
Good morning! So near, so far @5.1. Was 3.9 when I woke around 4:00 as my Circadian Rhythm is totally blown by the antibiotics. The link below explains! :rofl: BG dropped tob3.2 so I had 2 x JB before going back to bed.


No appointments for a few days but loads of paperwork and hanging in the telephone.

Bright cloud so could go either wayç
 
A 5.3 for me this morning. 🙂

Good morning

BG 5.3

Church last night was good. I was playing and leading worship. Quite an experience.

So tired by the end of the night that I slept through until 8am this morning!!!

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Been awol with a bad cold/cough/virus since getting back from Ireland, today is the first day my BG has been anywhere near normal at 4.9. Still feeling rough and just hoping I can shake this soon!

@Grannylorraine - hope you feel better soon too!

@goodybags - congratulations on your HS.

Take care everyone!
