Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A happy 4.8 for me on this lovely sunny morning.
 
6.9 following a daily morning trend of the 6s. A lovely day here. A Simpson sky with intermittent sunshine, quite warm too.

The Lionesses pulled it off again in the MiLs bungalow - the celebration are still with us.
Bother BiL and MiL were on top form last night.

There is someone always at our front door this morning, a never ending surprise.

The builder is coming tomorrow so further upheaval! We're going out for the day while they're here - no doubt fun and games to be had by all.

Good morning folks. Feeling much better today even with a reading of 4.3 at quarter to six this morning. Fed the cat and let the chickens out. Had half a shortbread finger and glass of water. Went back to bed and had a quiet half hour reading my kindle. Had to increase the font again.
Actually enjoyed breakfast and getting my appetite back. Looking forward to getting in the garden again. Lots to do and the house needs a good clean. I have done nothing for several days.

Thank you for all your kind wishes. I don't know what was wrong but I usually have a healthy appetite and plenty of energy. Hubby has been fine.

@eggyg it sounds like your childcare routines are back to normal again.

Hope you all have a good start to the week and sending hugs to anyone feeling under the weather. Take care xx

5.2 this morning, what a morning we have had so far more than half of the stuff for the kitchen has arrived early than we expected, we had planned to get the floor done first as it needs re levelling before he puts the new laminate down which off course means everything coming out of the kitchen, the new work tops are now coming today and the ceiling both were not due until later in the week everywhere is cluttered and to top it all hubby tablets have arrived and it says take 8 a day, no instruction on if there taken with food etc we are both sure the oncologist said one a day, he has tried several times phoning the hospital and the call keeps dropping off he messaged one of the lung nurses who he has seen over the last 4 years she text him and said phone the rapid response he got an automated message saying the line is busy and to leave his hospital number which he has no idea what that is.

Congratulations on your HS this morning. Seems like not much else is going to plan today. I hope your hubby gets his tablet dose sorted. I believe the hospital number will be on letters from the hospital along with his NHS number.
 
Pam - I know you should be very careful when using Google advice on medical matters. But I usually look at the NHS description of prescribed drugs and sometimes more general posts from some of the US hospitals. Ali was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s so she’s been prescribed some pills without the Consultant cross checking that the other pills she takes like those for high pressure will be contra-indicated. We’re paying for a second opinion to double check. Fortunately she’s not too badly affected so far. Hence the online searching … I hope your hubby sorts it out - and the kitchen!

A days delay in starting the meds would probably not make too much difference whereas not taking the dosage correctly might. If you google it it might tell you, or speak to the your local pharmacy.
When we did our kitchen we had arranged for the floor to be done first but the chap who was going to do it was on compassionate leave so we ended up doing it ourselves.
Yes there are a lot of boxes and they are not light.

Ive just looked on google and it says the drug is based on your weight and hight I just seams odd that you would take 8 a day.

Other half was on oral steroids and the dose was 8 per day for a week, then 7 for a week reducing down to just 1.
Is there not a product information leaflet in the box, I would have thought there should be, if not ring whoever supplied them.

meds sorted now I managed to get through to speak to someone, we have run out of boxes now, getting daughter to get some on her way home today, Hubby is hoping to do the floor tonight its a quick setting concrete which is self levelling, takes 3 hours to set so should be fine tomorrow then the underlay and laminate can go down, the new cooker and fridge freezer are coming Wednesday, the problem is us getting rid of the old ones both are range cookers and American fridge freezer, and the kitchen is arriving some tomorrow and some Thursday.

Glad you, eventually found the info you so desperately needed.

Congratulations on your HS today.
 
It's the usual 3-WFH-Monday :( and I'm late on parade again due to grocery shopping, a dentist appointment and laundry (bedding), but 6.4 at 07:23 when I tested.

Congrats @Pam123 on your HS and pleased to hear Hubby's meds are sorted.

Pleased to see the Lionesses triumph, although we missed the first half because we thought it was a 8pm KO. Doh! According to the news this morning it attracted the largest tv audience so far this year. Any bets that they're in pole position for Team of the Year when SPOTY comes around in December, and that Chloe Kelly will be on the short list for the individual trophy?

Switched over to the Darts World Matchplay final afterwards and saw Luke Littler come from 5-0 down to win it (plus £200K for good measure).

Enjoy the remainder of your day.
 
Finally got my system restored - a shout out to the operative at Abbott who expedited my Libres to arrive today rather than "some time this week". Bloods are in the 18s but I'll get em down eventually.

Have followed all your postings and been rooting for those who needed it, @partic Pam123 and Hubby who I can empathise with.
