Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all,
6.1 this morning.
@ColinUK know how it feels, lost two, one 18 and one 20 yrs...

Blessings Snowwy
 
A 5.2 for me and slightly, but pleasantly, surprised as I had some mashed potato last night.
 
I'm doing an @Lanny in that I am at odds with the normal circadian rhythm.

Got home in a right strop with life, the universe and all that at 5.10pm last night after struggling to get anything meaningful done at the yard (I didn't manage to ride Rascal and got half of him clipped but the clipper blades kept jamming up and eventually I had to walk away from it as I was just getting too stressed... then realised that my BG was into the teens which was probably why I was feeling so agitated, so jabbed in 3 units which was maybe a little generous but have been sick of stacking small corrections recently. Next thing I knew, I was 3.4 with a vertical downward arrow, so got a prudent amount of carbs into me, came up and then went down again. Got home feeling well chewed off and had a couple of small glasses of red wine with a decent amount of cheese and some olives. Levels went up to 9 and I couldn't be bothered with any of it anymore, so I climbed into bed at 6.30pm and went to sleep. Set my alarm for 8.15pm to get up and do evening stables but slept through it and woke at 11.20pm on...
4.9
... so I am classing that as my fasting reading because I haven't been to sleep since. Currently got the oven on and cooking all sorts of stuff which will be dinner not breakfast and then I will go back to sleep for a few hours and hope that when I wake up, I will be more on an even keel and actually achieve something!! Argghh!!!

@ColinUK. So very sorry for your loss. I hope it is some consolation that the end came relatively quickly, although as an owner that makes the shock of it worse, but from Peluche's perspective that has to be the best way to go. I know you will be devastated and I hope whatever you ate and drank last night, helped ease the pain a little. Sending lots of (((hugs)))

@HenryBennett Congrats on your HS. You didn't have to tell us you had mash last night to achieve it.... that just rubs our noses in it!! 😉
 
Thanks everyone.
Last night was tough but I cleared some of his things away immediately. Also found someone to take the drinking fountain and have his menagerie use it.
It does feel that by doing that it’s almost akin to donating an organ or something.

Peluche used to jump onto the bed when I made it clear that I was going to bed. Used to snuggle up to my shoulder and pretty much sleep there all night. So it feels quite peculiar not having his furry warmth next to me all night.
Back when I had both him and his brother they both sleep on the bed with me. Jasper at my shoulder and Peluche at my feet.
Miss them both terribly this morning.

The biggest wrench is not feeling his head on my hand. So simple but so, so trusting and loving.

And I swear I could hear Jasper pottering around last night.

Forgot to post my number for this morning!

I ate yesterday. Butter chicken curry, spinach and carrot rice, two peshwari naans.

Oh and an entire Charlie Bighams chocolate fondant with some double cream.

6.9 this morning.

I’ll leave the double entendre to Ted 🙂
 
4 for me, today is wet but I am looking forward to the day, I think although I get bad anxiety/depression and have had for years, the changes in my diet are lifting my mood.

As another blessed with the touch of depression etc, it’s clear that there’s a huge correlation between what I eat and my mood over the next few days so it’s great that you’re finding the positives too x

Good morning - 9.2

@ColinUK , I’m sorry to hear about Peluche. It is really tough and very strange. It is six months tomorrow since Lola died and I still talk to her! Every morning!

I used to talk to Jasper about Peluche.
I’m a little adrift today that’s for sure.

Does Lola talk back? 🙂
 
Morning all. 5.1, so near yet so far. I’ll leave the HSs to @HenryBennett, congratulations. Should we start calling them HBs? Mash potato is my nemesis even with insulin! After yesterday’s wet, wild and mild weather, we’re back to the frost. Still very dark at the moment but supposed to be a grand day so a walk is definitely in order today, didn’t leave the house yesterday. Stay safe everyone. One day nearer to our vaccine.🙂
 
Morning

Well I'm an unplanned for £79.99 down, mum cut the wire on the hoover a couple of weeks ago, stripped them back, wrapped electrical tape round, yesterday it cut out whilst in use, she messed about with the wires giving herself an electric shock in the process so I've had to get her a new hoover, ordered at Argos, Linda picking it up hopefully Thursday but as there was an issue with the site there's 2 pending payments for it in my bank account! Called at 19:57 so was pushing it as they close at 20:00 but got through and she said 1 of them wouldn't be taken

Grandad got a phone call yesterday asking him to go up for his first COVID vaccine today so I'll find out how he got on when I phone him tonight

Anyway first 5.2 of the year for me this morning
xx
 
Morning everyone. 4.7 for me, and thats after a JB. Noticing levels getting a bit too low, might have to dial the basal back half a unit and see what happens. Although on the days when i'm working at home and not in school, levels stay good so this basal is ok. Oh how i long for the days when i am in work all the time or not working, much easier to sort insulin.
Anyway, have a good day everyone

Congratulations on the HS @Kaylz. Hope your mum is ok after the shock and your Grandad gets on ok. For some reason our town isn't getting any vaccines through. My mum spoke to the GP about something then asked him about the vaccine. He said they had been ringing every day but no one could tell them when it was coming but other towns around seem to have haf them!

There was a map on one of the news paper websites with a coloured map of sites and large swathes of the country don't have many sites.
 
5.0 for me this morning. 🙂

She's got sore hands but then again I told her not to mess with it, apparently she thought she'd switched the socket off but she'd turned the one the kettle was plugged into off instead 🙄 something I really could have done without with Bruce's birthday in 8 days etc but can't have cat litter piling up through the house and that lol, didn't have a clue they were doing them here at the moment until grandad got his call xx
