Group 7-day waking average?

[eggyg]

5.3 this early (for me) morning. So near.

Glad the levels are behaving @ColinUK and hope the painkillers get to work.
The washing machine looks very sparkly @Kaylz
Video appointments seem very useful, hope it goes well @mikeyB

Another grey day so some dyeing today so that I can get weaving a baby blanket next week.

Was a tad confused at first as couldn’t understand why you had to dye your grey hair before you could make blankets. But I’ve reread it a few times and think I get it now! 😛

05:03 BS 6.6 🙂 Yesterday’s after eating readings were all a bit higher with less insulin at the 90 minutes mark but, came down pretty sharply after 2/3 hours so, I did a LOT of testing as the effect of the AB’s kicked in! Hopping on toes emoji! & a 🙂 But I also snoozed a lot too!🙄 That reading is after eating & was the best one so far as it's in target range: woke just after midnight alarm had my Levemir & stayed awake; 00:35 BS 8.1 was the real waking figure! I ate breakfast & tested before 03:38 BS 8.7 not much DP as I never got up from my bed & lowered my insulin again: breakfast dose now 34 units Novorapid; I may still need to keep a close eye in case I drop too low!

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

Guess who made the cut in the 9 hole tournament!

@Flower OMG the pavements in your area do seem to come up and bite you on a regularly basis, do hope you are ok and feeling a little better.
@Kaylz - machine looks great, so glad it has at long last arrived and performing, what a relief for you and Bruce - PS how is bubbles behaving himself?
6.5 for me today after a difficult day yesterday but with a lovely twist at the end. Was kept busy as am selling things on our local sites, collected some new duvet covers from someone who was selling and one of our neighbours who has dementia had a visit from the local dementia cafe musical team who played for her and lots of us neighbours who joined in with dancing etc, it was lovely and she really enjoyed it. For some reason I kept crying during the day, not really sure why, possibly because this week is the anniversary of both of my parents passing, my dad 13 years and my mum 27 or maybe because my care (not D) has now been transferred to London and it is just making it all seem ‘big’ in my head. I don’t know just a bit of a low day I think. THEN my son and family come round and we have a takeaway and a couple of drinks (socially distanced of course) who after about an hour gives me a card, my daughter in law makes them, thanking us for what we do for them and with some money inside. He had managed to pull off a great deal and wanted to give us something to celebrate his success. We couldn’t have been more surprised or more proud of him. After a few minutes of telling him we don’t want nor need it we had to give in graciously. What a lovely thing to do but I admit I did cry again but what a lovely feeling hearing such heartfelt words from my son, made me think I’m doing okay!!
Anyhow just wanted to share that with you
Have a good day everyone x

I know what you mean about being tearful, I’m a bit like that at the moment. I’m stressed about this afternoon tea tomorrow incase it pours down, do I send them home or do I allow them in the house? I’m so looking forward to seeing them all but also don’t want them to come. Does that make sense? It’s also the 30th anniversary of my mum’s passing on Monday. She died on Mr Eggy’s 30th birthday so his birthday is always bitter sweet and of course he’s 60 on Monday and we need it to be special not only because of the present situation but because of his health. I’m so over 2020 now. I just want it all to disappear. You’re not alone Sue in your feelings. Everything is just exacerbated at this time. Xx

it does doesn't it, just glad I wont be making more lengthy phone calls to them, thankfully the number was covered by my monthly minutes allowance though or they would've been getting the bill for that! He's being a royal pest as usual, he's ruined the living room door and my mums bedroom door with clawing at them and he just generally gets on my nerves with how bad behaved he is, would just like a little bit of peace from him if I'm perfectly honest xx

Now that I have read it again I can see the confusion.

We saw the newborn yesterday at a distance (I so wanted a hug)
I have designed a blanket in which the weave pattern will spell her name in morse code.
Inevitably I don’t have quite enough of the right colour yarn.
It is always a surprise when I dye yarn to see what colour it actually comes out.

The grey hair will remain!

Thanks eggyg and you are quite right, nothing seems normal even though we have been living it for a few months now. I really hope the weather holds out for you tomorrow, we put up a gazebo last time the weather was rubbish and we all had blankets on our laps but we still have a nice time. Anniversaries of our loved ones passing is hard at the best if times and these certainly aren’t the best of times so I hope all goes well and you enjoy yourselves xx

I am having my hair done next weekend by my DIL. She is back hairdressing the week after and says she could do with the practice after not cutting, colouring for 4 months, I am more than happy to be her ‘guinea pig’. Goodbye grey - hello gorgeous lol x

What can I say, you cannot control a cat, no way, no how, they are a complete law unto themselves and they know it grrrr!

I shall cross everything and hope for good weather for your tea party.

Friends got a gazebo outside their bifold doors for their family tea, and that worked well.
They decided their garden room as an extension of the garden if needed.
The photos will look very strange in years ahead, as each family group is sat apart to welcome the newborn. A weird life at present, and yes a tearful one at times @SueEK . You are not alone at all.

I got a Morrisons delivery slot! They are the only supermarket not to give me priority access, but it is not until July 10th so it only feels like a dream right now. And Asda have changed their priority system, replacing it with a priority delivery pass. The main difference is that under the old method they waived the fee and minimum order value for shielding people, and now have started charging. Although it does seem to have made slots available, as they used to be very difficult to find.

To an extent I do not mind paying a delivery fee, although it kind-of feels like I am being penalized for not being about to go out. However as I live alone alone I do resent the £40 minimum order (£60 with Waitrose) still being applied. To be fair, Tesco (and now Asda), will deliver below it for a fee. But that definitely feels like being punished for not having to feed a family.

I was 11.6 this morning, which is not the best condition to be thinking of shopping.

Morning all 8.9 today.

I slipped over yesterday walking in the rain and landed on what used to be my good hip. Two kind people helped me up as I was stuck lying on the pavement with my leg in a cast. I’m super achey and black & blue. Pavements, crutches, rain and slippy drain covers do not like me. Diabetes can also leave me alone please!

Snazzy washing machine @Kaylz, any favourite cycles as yet?🙂

I hope you’re all doing ok, stay upright if you possibly can, it’s the best way 🙂

Your pavements and kerbs are really out to get you.
I hope you recover soon from those bruises. (Arnica?)

6.3 for me this morning and I am extremely happy with that.
I took a bit of a nose dive mentally last night and my BG headed north and I couldn't get my head around how much insulin to use (both correction and basal with things being a bit haywire in that dept recently) and I got really agitated and just wanted my own space, so I headed home (I normally sleep at my partner's house) and downed a glass of rum and coke and spent some time here on the forum and that helped get my head back into the right place, so thanks for that everyone!

@Flower So very sorry to hear you took another tumble. Ouch! Maybe you should ditch the crutches and go out in a Zorb.... it would help with social distancing too! Either that or pack the sides of your trousers with pillows! Hope you are not in too much pain and have a good supply of medication to take the edge off it.
I love the image of you going out in sparkly pink heels and crutches.... do you have a suitably short skirt and tight top and fake tan of course, to go with them? If not, probably best give it a miss. I have a good friend who was able to pull that look off with a pot on after being kicked by a horse and actually hooked her husband that way!

What can I say, you cannot control a cat, no way, no how, they are a complete law unto themselves and they know it grrrr!

I've had 4 other cats throughout my life, they were pretty well trained/controlled to our way of living, the only cats as horrid as Bubbles are feral, I'm fed up being scared to try and get out the living room in case I get attacked, I have never been scared at animals let alone cats but I am scared of him xx

 

[Ditto]

Afternoon all. 15 something this morning but I thought it might be because it was a tiny pinprick of blood so did it again and got 8.3 which is terrible but better.

Kaylz that is one naughty cat! I get clawed by my cat Binky (named after Death's horse) but it's not her fault, she has lethal claws and doesn't seem to know how to retract. I need to learn how to cut them or something.

Re 1980s being the greatest which I still think so but we're watching a 'Corner Shop' rerun and I'd forgotten about Mrs Thatcher and no jobs! I've conveniently blanked all that. I just remember the music, the wedding and all the good stuff.

Went Sale yesterday doing son's shop, he's still on lock-down and it's like the virus never happened. Most shops and cafe's open, even Scope charity shop! The only time you can tell it's a pandemic is having to queue at Wilko's and Tesco. Social distancing up the swanee that's for sure. Some people are still wearing masks and you have to wear one on the bus. People are having LOUD garden parties late into the night and there was a rave with murders etc just round the corner with a massive clean-up having to be done by Trafford Council. Crazy. Stay safe all.

Ditto he's an absolute nightmare and has put me off cats! have you had her at the vets? Maybe she cant actually retract them, we had to cut our last females xx
