Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

8.1 for me

Congratulations on your HS @MeeTooTeeTwo 🙂

I realise I didn't like some posts in here yesterday as the day went on so I do apologise for that just I was busy doing too many things at once on the laptop! xx
 
Afternoon ! I’ve just got up. 6.3, which is pleasant. I really needed that sleep, have had a pretty rotten week of sleep, or should I say no sleep. It’s a beautiful frosty and sunny morning. @Barfly don’t think you’d survive ooop north! :D

Haven’t anything planned today but I definitely won’t be making another pork Wellington. Took all day, Mr Eggy then said he felt shivery, not quite right and not very hungry (his booster jab we suspect, he’s fine this morning and starving), the pastry was soggy because of the cider caramelised onions, and I didn’t like the sweetness they gave to the dish. What a waste of time, and there’s leftovers! :( Massive fail, which isn’t like me at all. I’ll stick to what I know from now on.

Have a great day all.🙂
@MeeTooTeeTwo congratulations on the HS, again.
@Lanny I feel your pain, I was exactly the same as you at your age. It does get better, honestly. Hormones eh? Who’d have ‘em! 😉

So pick the pastry of the Wellington and crisp it up in the oven and serve it alongside the pork and onions later.
Sounds delicious even though I don’t eat pork!
 
6.4 this morning
 
Morning all. 9.1 this morning following 14.3 at bedtime due to eating late and forgetting to bolus until some time after the meal. Had lunch in the local pub yesterday which was superb, but quite carby, so it was nearly 9pm when we were hungry enough for fresh baked ciabatta, cheeses and Italian cooked meats. House guests leave today, so back to normal eating patterns again.

Sorry, haven’t done much ‘liking” due to very little time online over the weekend.
 
6.4 not a bad start to the week 🙂
 
Drat it, she's back! (DF that is) Must have snuck in last night, but goodness knows how as the door was locked..... Down the chimney I guess!
Lowered my Levemir yesterday morning after my 4.5 hours of red the night before. Levels stayed very stable all day although at the low end ie mostly 4s and 5s so looked like that daytime Levemir reduction was the right decision. Did quite a bit of exercise yesterday late afternoon/evening so skipped the evening Levemir again determined to keep out of the red. Went to bed on 7.0 with some active Fiasp still in my system because I also ate late but pretty low carb. Woke at 3.20am feeling restless and hot on 9.9 so jabbed 1.5 units and went back to sleep but woke again just before 6am on 10.6. Jabbed another 1.5 and went back to sleep again. Woke at 7 and jabbed Levemir and put the dose back up by those 2 units but decided I wasn't going to get up until my levels were in range so I went back to sleep and eventually got up on a much better looking 6.4 but my overnight trace looks like a camels humps...... Not impressed! 😡

@MeeTooTeeTwo Good to see the man is back on form! Congratulations!
 
@eggyg Doesn't look like a disaster to me! Gorgeous in fact! Send the left overs my way. I am sure I can summon the courage to inject enough Fiasp to tackle that and I rather like a mixture of crispy and soggy pastry and sweet and savoury flavours. Yum!
 
@MeeTooTeeTwo - congratulations on your HS.

6.9 today, so a slight improvement, still no voice, although throat isn't so sore today, but blocked nose and coughing and still aching all over, but hey ho, it will work its way through my system and go at some point. No running or yoga though. Still no biopsy results so taking no news as good news until I hear differently.

Have a good day everyone

@ColinUK I've taken pastry off, it’s now on the lawn for the birds. Sorry @rebrascora!
I’ve cut the remaining pork into thin slices for sandwiches. Sorted.

I think your birds get fed a lot better than I do! I'm going to grow some wings and fly across the county to visit.... Better still I could send the DF your way and just hang onto her coat tails!.... No, I don't mean that. I would not wish her on anyone and especially not you Elaine..

Funnily enough Mr Eggy remarked on the birds getting fed better than him. Think he was just miffed after lifting two 20kg bags of seeds out of the car boot! I was out in my PJs this morning feeding them and thawing out their water. We had a hard frost last night. Mr Eggy is big enough and ugly enough to get his own brekkie! 😉
 
Just had to have a whinge. Got into work at 6.45 this morning to find 222 bits of dictation waiting for me, that doesn’t include my emails or tasks. Since the merger (3 practices into 1) it is hopeless. I have only been back just over 3 weeks and I’m already wanting to leave, if it wasn’t for me needing the next op and more time off work I just well might. We always prided ourselves that our patients referrals were sent within 48 hours of them being dictated, at present it is at least 2 weeks, feel like I’ve gone back 40 years to when I worked in a typing pool. Where has my job as medical secretary gone, meeting and helping the doctors and patients, it’s just horrible. It appears we all feel the same. The other 2 practices are short staffed and seem to work at a snails pace but maybe that’s unfair but they certainly don’t seem to do much. Just needed to get that off my chest. Now got to go and collect 2 of my grandchildren from school and feed them, they will cheer me up.
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on your HS x
 
Good evening everyone 🙂
7:30am it was 4.2 for me and did 15.0 units of Tresiba

23:26pm before bedtime 10.5 above my target - no idea why
18:48pm before tea 8.8
 
It's a pity i can't be your typing pool @SueEK. That was my first job, i wouldn't mind going back to something like that but most places don't need them any more :( .

All you can do is do what you can in the time you have. It is frustrating though. Whinge away, we all need to vent our frustrations.
 
4.3 this morning. Busy day. Getting ready for a (school) residential later in the week. It’ll be freezing cold and potentially wet (then not me!) but great fun especially the 2nd morning when I wake the darlings up after they’ve kept me up all night !
 
8.4 today :( off to work:(. Have a good day all x
