Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning beautifuls! 7 in the meter today.

Went to bed late yet again despite planning a busy day. Then was kept awake a bit longer by someone playing piano (at fricking midnight!) and then someone having a heated argument. Had a disturbing dream I had no idea where it came from, and woke to find my sensor had expired one day early! I grumpily applied a new one and got a combo of pain and blood (well that sounds dramatic, the blood was minimal but you get the idea). Not a great start of the day, let me tell you!

Yesterday I tried a recipe from the Freshwell low carb website, I was very excited about it, it was a veggie quiche with a crust made of cheese and linseeds. Now, I was happy with the taste but it didn't agree with me. Not sure if I had too much of it or it was the seeds, never tried them before and they have a lot of fibre so that could explain the uncomfortable bloating.

It was pretty tho. I'd definitely try this filling in my usual crust less, seed-less quiches 🙂

Morning all. 7.5. The sun is shining and there is blue sky with a mild frost. We're off out somewhere for the day as hubby as the weekend off.
 
Have opened the curtains to a lovely, sunny Berkshire morning. All blue sky and not a cloud in sight. Temperature still in single figures out there according to our garden thermometer and forecast says it's only just going to scrape over the line into double figures today, but at least it's going to be dry.

My wife and I ate out yesterday evening as our youngest was working and our eldest was at futsal training and we couldn't be bothered to cook. Went to a pub that we haven't been to in years and had a really nice meal. Hunter's Chicken was on the menu, so that was me sorted, and they do a hot drink and mini-dessert option, so a small chocolate brownie too. Despite the treat this is what popped up on the meter this morning:-

Congrats @harbottle on yours.

Might be home alone for most of the day as our youngest has his 2-10 shift and my wife is heading up to Bedford shortly to visit a cousin. Not sure what our eldest is doing as he got in late last night and probably won't surface for a while. He's clearly not doing Park Run or he'd be up already.

Hope everyone's getting some of this sunshine today. Enjoy your Saturday.
 
Good morning. 6.9

Decided yesterday to put the steroids up a bit to 20mg - sick of pain and coughing. Not, of course, instantaneous in providing relief but certainly lifted mood - did a longish pootle round Ceredigion in beautiful sunshine --stopping intermittently to buy things - ended up with car jam packed, Only unpacked the bag from Tesco's last night so have animal feed to chair to shower caddy to lever out today. Fortunately it has dawned sunny again so not a chore. The coppa has gone down lovely for breakfast and the smoked salmon looks good ...only went in for one thing and came out with a bag full of treats.

Sorry I missed your birthday @eggyg I hope you are allowed to be a Princess today as well.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning everyone

It’s a 5.2 for me this morning so I’m joining the rest of the HS’s on the step today.

Have a good day everyone.

Have posted picture of plane for proof lol.
It was taken on my phone and usually post on one of tablets so not synchronised

Well at least it's a rather special plane taking up the car park. If its an original it is simply priceless; even if a replica its still almost uninsurable.
 
Beautiful day so far.

6.8 when I got up at 7am. Have since eaten a large cooked brekkie.

Congrats to all those HS peeps.

@eggyg enjoy another day being a princess!

Joining in for the first time 🙂

5.4 this morning!
 
Odd time posting, AGAIN but, can’t be helped! My sleep is STILL all over the place! 🙄

But, finally got lower basal through & minor adjustments of bolus now for meals! Still not QUITE “On The Nose” with NR but, Tresiba is not dragging me down anymore! I FINALLY slept the whole day yesterday & quite a lot today as well SO body clock is out of whack: sleep being the first thing to go when BS is unstable; replenished my biscuits supply & marsh mallows held up better as I didn’t go as low while waiting for lower basal to take effect! :D

Just got up at 21:00 ish, had breakfast & just prepped a chicken & broccoli bake in the oven: keep an eye on the time; CAN be dangerous posting with something in the oven! 😳🙄:rofl:

A Very Good Morning to you all, coming up for you normal lovely lot, & have a Wonderful Day ahead! 😉

Oh! Almost forgot:- Sat. 20.04.2024 21:30 BS 7.7 🙂

PS: Got my liver scan coming up on 30.04.2024 & have to fast for 6 hours overnight beforehand which, I’m NOT looking forward to: CAN BE SO HARD TO FAST OVERNIGHT! Especially, if I can’t sleep & I know I probably won’t: I could well be a wired, talkative duracell bunny again on the way up to Belfast, this time, in the hospital transport? 😳🙄:rofl: The driver’s seen, & heard, it all driving patients around & took it in his stride the last time! :D
 
Good morning everyone although it doesn't feel like a good morning.

BG 5.something

My wifes mental health assessment did not go ahead yesterday because she ran away before anyone got here and she stayed in a B&B through the night. It seems like my life is falling apart.

Have a great ... oh, sod it
