Group 7-day waking average?

We had fish & chips today for someone's leaving at work. From a lovely chippy near our base which does "fishfinger" aka small fish. So I had that and small chips and a bit of lemon juice and mayo, and happy with my results - 5.8 before lunch and 8.4 2 hours after.

Supposedly I took a couple of hours annual leave this afternoon, but although I have had an early break I will be putting the computer back on for a bit of overtime as there is more paperwork that I still need to do and I'm definitely using my full day of annual leave tomorrow to have a day out by myself!
 
Good morning- 5.9

I had an appointment on Tuesday and I’ve been approved for funding for Dexcom G6!

I honestly can’t trust Libre 2, too many inaccurate sensors
 
Good morning. 6.6 and a unicorn day yesterday.
 
Morning a 10.1 today.

Hope everyone has a good day.
 
Good morning 6.5 today

Have a great day everybody 😎

Morning all. A good laugh is the best way to start the day. :rofl: Y'all are so funny. 7.7 @ 6.13am and yesterday 7.3 @ 7.01am because I never even opened up the laptop apparently. I'm reading a lot. Elizabeth Strout, she's good. Also all my Stephen Kings so I can downsize them to my granddaughter. Also all my diaries, but that's not so fun reading them, a dire little life and I wouldn't do any of it again but I'd like to give it another go knowing what I know now. I can't wait to get them in the fire tin come the better weather, save the fambly hiring a skip. 🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 8.6 here.

Well, I had a very interesting chat yesterday with one of our lovely Welsh teachers. She told me they’re recruiting at the moment and gave me the email address to send my CV to. I’m not fluent in Welsh yet, but could definitely teach a beginner class. She said “Go for it!” There’d be an interview in Welsh and a 15-minute class to teach...what’ve I got to lose?

Love Elizabeth Strout too @Ditto - she churns out fantastic stories. 🙂
 
A very nice 5.3 for me this morning. Delighted with that! Jabbed myself 2 units of Levemir last night as I have been out of action with an unhappy knee for a few days and unable to walk, so basal needed to get increased. Feels fully recovered now so have no excuse not to go out there and swing my legs and get damp and muddy.... not that I don't get muddy pretty much every day of course, bad knee or not. It is the nature of having animals at this time of year. 🙄 but I need to cover some distance today and get a bit of a sweat on and dig into the bottom of my lungs to stop them getting gunked up. Use it or lose it as they say! It really would be nice if it dried up underfoot a bit though!

Hope everyone has a good day.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.3 close

Nothing much planned for today

@Ditto I know what you mean to some extent. I feel that I could have done a bit better if only I had known then....... BUT, considering all things, I've not been a complete failure and even done well in a few places along my life journey. The secret to feeling good is to remember the successes, the good times. Someone once told me that at every stage of life 'it is only a season'. So, good or bad, the season will end and a new season will start. Thinking that can give hope for the future and remembering past successes and good times can bring thankfulness and joy.

5.9 and Unicorn day for me as well.
Nailed my "I'm sick" insulin doses at last so totally expecting that to change now I have got there 😉

Have bloods done today because of ongoing tiredness, I did phone yesterday to ask if it was still worth getting them done. I know its going to be a full set of bloods and most results will be thrown with being unwell but they said still to come in and put a note on my records saying I was unwell at time of blood draw.
Since I am having to go out, I'm heading in early to check to see if scripts are ready that went in over the weekend and a quick trip around Aldi. If I'm going to be exhausted by the time I get home anyway, might as well get everything done at once 😉

Right off to get organised 🙂
 
6.0 for me this morning. I'm off to the zoo, all by myself! Looking forward to it. Rain predicted though so going to take dry shoes and socks and a dry jumper in the car boot!
 
Good morning. 6.7. Feeling rather better then I hoped after all the "diagnostic" joint twisting which I generally avoid. Just hot, stiff and achy in about 90% of me. BP 188/90 however so probably need to see GP pronto.

Wishing you all a good day.
 
@MrPixels Who cares how it happened? Have a house! Specifically have a magnificent villa in Ibiza!
