Although my blood test came back OK (non-fasting), My eyes, feel a bit funny, that is probably due to the excess time I have spent on the PC (not taking a break), Also it feels fine when I have my specs on, as well as letting shower gel get in my eyes a wee bit too often while showering. However, I will mention this to my doctor next week in my appointment.

I have used this time to review my diet and I am cutting down on the oat bars. Although, they are a better replacement for chocolate, some of them do tend to have a fair bit of sugar in them. Also I am going back to eating rye bread, I got the full size pack which was always quite filling, and the Nairn's oatcakes if I want a snack.

I am going to cut down on potatoes as well. No more rice and potato combo, one or the other. Still have my good and bad days mood wise, however, I met an old acquaintance who helped me put things in perspective.

When I do these rants, part of me feels like Steve Allan from LBC tee hee hee
 
Hope the eyes feel better soon. When was the last time you had an eye test? If it has been a while it may also be worth considering getting that done too.
 
Hi, I had one done last July, and then the diabetic screening was done last November - they were both clear.

I am just doing the last minute shopping for the Easter Break, and then just chilling and looking for jobs. I will post another daily rant a wee bit later🙂
 
Enjoy your Easter Break. Lots of people will enjoy a nice long weekend and catch up with things. I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.
