Group 7-day waking average?

6.7 this morning. Quite happy with that today tbh.

Yesterday was stressful but good. Had my first NHS one to one therapy session bright and early in the morning and I was incredibly apprehensive about it.
That was really about sitting in a room with someone and ripping off the bandaid on the scars from the sexual violence and a fear of being “too” emotional I think but it was all unfounded.
Therapist is a tiny Scottish Chinese woman with a speech disorder which makes her sound incredibly nervous but she’s made a great impression so far.
We slightly overran but I’m looking forward to our next session.

This morning I’ve got a creative writing session, my first, from Survivors so I’m looking forward to that as well.

Other than that I will knock up a frittata and probably roast chicken so I’ve got food all prepped for the week.
 
Morning everyone. 6.3 for me.

@eggyg It sounds a lovely relaxing day out.
@ColinUK glad it went well yesterday.
 
And it’s a 5.7 for me this morning after a 12.0 at bedtime last night. Must have been the fish and a few chips from the chippy that did it….
 
Morning

6.9 today

I am feeling utterly c**p after days of starting off not too bad then climbing at a rate of knots and staying there and nobody gets it or understands what it feels like so also getting the comments that I'm a miserable sod etc as well :( xx

Good morning all. A very nice 5.5 after being horrendously high all afternoon and well into the evening yesterday. Apple and bramble crumble isn’t easy to bolus for. 😳 On the positive side it was 8pm before I realised we hadn’t had any tea. Mr Eggy had cheese on toast and I had a packet of Zara’s Pom Bears. Very nutritious! Normal service will be resumed today.

Think we’re going to walk into town later, there’s a Continental market on all weekend. Nice food stuffs, plants, bits and bobs. It gives the town a bit of a buzz which doesn’t happen very often. Also youngest daughter’s 30th next weekend so need a card and a present, we’ve booked a hotel in Glasgow for her, as her sisters have booked a show for her ( and her hubby too), but you’ve got to have something on the day to open, haven’t you? Thinking a record, she’s really into music, just like her dad, she has a turntable and into vinyl. Just what album though?

Hope you all have a good day and bank holiday weekend. Every weekend is like a bank holiday when you’re retired. It’s the only thing I miss about working, not having bank holidays! :rofl:

Which record is always the question... my boyfriend's into vinyl but he mostly likes indie bands that I've never heard of, so usually gives me a short wishlist to pick from. My sister did succeed in getting one he was pleased with by just going into her local independent record shop and asking for something psychedelic though!
 
Anyway, morning. 7.1 today. Going to be doing some walking with my 14 year old, and possibly more on my own if 14 year old decides they've had enough. (Just round the estate as 14 year old isn't in the mood for "peopley" places)
 
Good morning looks like I didn’t press the blue button to post yesterday
it was 5.1
today is 7.0

Have a great weekend everybody 😎
 
12.8 for me when I first woke up so my 2.5 increase in Levemir last night was no where near enough. Jabbed 7.5 units of Fiasp and my morning Levemir with a 2 unit increase and went back to sleep and woke up on a nice 5.8 so for once I was able to eat breakfast straight away instead of waitng 3/4 of an hour which was a treat.
Off to the show so can't hand about. Hope everyone has a great weekend. X
 
09:05 BS 8.6 Ok with that! 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Tingles have abated a little bit with BS running just the wee bit higher with -2 NR across the board & keep it there for a bit before increasing back up to normal to get the BS back down later! Not as much itching either or numbness on my right side: slept a bit less yesterday too! 🙂

Just finished the translated novel yesterday, 87 chapters at roughly 2 per episode, & read what was cut: only 2 were kisses with the rest being plot holes now filled in; not a hit in China because the plot didn’t make sense was the consensus! 🙄:D:rofl:

Now moving on today to watch Xu Kai & Bai Lu in their first pairing on screen in “The Legends” filmed a few months earlier before doing “Arsenal Military Academy”. 55 episodes of an historical kung fu fantasy: lots of “flying humans” as is per standard in these types of dramas; some westerners STILL shake their heads at that & don’t get it rather like those who get Opera & those that don’t! 🙄:D😎😛😉:rofl:

I, in italics, love opera & love this historical kung fu fantasy genre as well: it takes some suspension of disbelief; VERY enjoyable if you don’t think about it TOO much! 😛:rofl: I grew up on a diet of this kind of thing but, in Cantonese on HK tv: just haven’t watched it in Mandarin before; let’s see if I can still HEAR the older more ancient language after the 1911 language I’ve learnt recently?:confused:😉:rofl:
 
Morning all. 🙂 6.8 here.

It's all go here - hubby's speed-varnishing all the windows (he's very quick!) while I'm clearing a way into what was an orchard before the gorse and brambles took over. From the upstairs windows I can see the tops of apricot trees, apple trees, figs...so it's deffo worth the effort. And I get to try out Temp Basal Rates in the process. 😎

I'm glad things went well yesterday @ColinUK. 🙂

We understand @Kaylz! And moving house is mega stressful. (((Hugs)))
 
Good morning everyone and a bright sunny one it is too.

@Leadinglights I test my blood pressure and other things 7 times a day (as part of my pulse pressure investigation). I have always found that repeat blood pressure tests can be different from each other and it is usually just down to me settling down again.

BP 118/75
Pulse 62

BG 5.1 tease tease tease

Today: exercise, rest, eat, exercise, rest, eat, rest, sleep....sort of... nothing really planned

Typically, my cholesterol blood test results were not back yesterday and now I won't see sight of them until Tuesday, assuming they don't loose them again. Sigh.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Morning all on this bright breezy sunny day.

8.1 for me after a 2am JB/ginger cookie fest! Still, can't complain, TIR is 87% with only 1% below 3.9.

HUGS @Kaylz it really is a stressful time for you.... so be kind to yourself.

@ColinUK pleased to hear all went well for you yesterday

Looking forward to meeting friends this afternoon and at least dinner is cooked - leftover Chicken Tikka Masala and Lentil Tarka Dhal that I made yesterday + just some fresh rice to cook.

Her taste is very eclectic so my thought was an album from the year she was born. I Googled it today and one of the best selling albums of 1992 was by REM, Automatic for the People. We’ve actually got it and she’ll have heard us playing it. We’ve got an independent record shop and a HMV plus an independent bookshop with a huge range of second hand records. Could be fun. I’ll let you know tomorrow.
 
Morning had been awake a while before testing it was 10.2 did have one rich tea(6 carbs so didn't think it would hurt too much but after wards I did think I probably didn't need that). Which I didn't need). Oh well hopefully the correction with breakfast will sort it.


Yesterday and little bit this morning I've been getting these wired aching pains where and because I over think everything sometimes my mind can't help but think(as i over think is this just part of my problems manifesting in a diffident way which or is it something i need to pay attention after my endoscopy thursday but even though they say some things are umcoman having something shoved down my thort into my body for me at least probelly cause my body to complain afterwards so probelly nothing to worry about.

When I was little, my mum had a Mini Clubman estate - burgundy, with a turquoise passenger-side door (from the scrap yard after the original door got trashed in an accident). It was TINY compared to the monster cars we drive today. My gran got stuck in the back and wet herself laughing so much, trying to get out. :D:rofl: What colour's yours @khskel ?
