Another bad day and night yesterday, with blood sugar troubles. It was running super high all day and I just couldn't get it down. Then it plummeted way too low right before I was going to bed. For the second night in a row. So I didn't get to sleep until 1am again (sigh).
At least it's my half day! This afternoon will be a sorely needed crash and burn nap. Then my H and I are meeting our new tenants tonight, to sign the lease and hand over the keys. That house is near a Little Caesars pizza and that will be dinner. I have a T-Mobile coupon to get an extra-most-bestest for $3, plus I've been wanting to try their pizza with the cupped pepperonis.
To add on to the high-calorie weekend, my H and I scored free tickets to the Fried Chicken Festival. We will check that out on either Sat. or Sun. I've heard of Gus World Famous Fried Chicken but have never had the pleasure because they are not in this area. They are going to be there and I'm excited to finally get to try them.. They are my main target, but there are a lot of yummy sounding restaurants/menus.
Re: Ready for the weekend
Tomorrow DH is on dad duty and both kids are supposed to have soccer games but because the remnants of Ian are due to show up I have a feeling the fields will be closed and they'll have a good time inside.
It's my annual wine trip to local vineyards and I'm going to LOVE IT.
I'm totally blanking on something have for dinner the next 2 nights. We'll order something for sure tomorrow night, probably pizza, but i have no idea what to do tonight. I dont' really feel like cooking, but nothing sounds good to order. Anyone have ideas?
Scary
@banana468 yay turning a corner!
Some Mexican restaurants do a nice to-go taco bar. Like you choose 1-2 meats and then it comes with all the fixings, so people can put together the kind of tacos they want.
For easy to cook at-home meals, I'm a fan of those frozen family meal bags. Everything is included in the bag and you just dump the bag into a frying pan or oven dish.
In fact, there is a Shrimp and Veggie stir fry from Costco in my freezer right now. It's a fairly new Kirlkland product in my local Costco and I've been curious to try it.
My go-tos for ordering are wings, BBQ, or fajitas from mexican. Mostly because I can always come up with a leftover meal with BBQ or fajita meat.
She's joking that she'll put it in her will {she's 61} since we have the sibling.
So far it seems like both what we want and what my mum's getting are boys lol
My system is not happy with me wearing pants right now, so that's a fkn nightmare, and I think my body is ALSO fighting something cuz I have these awful body aches?
Like wtf ... maybe it's just trying to deal with my system
This is where I've been scarred from my Costco gig job, lol. I can give you a litany of their prepared deli and deli aisle foods.
In the prepared deli. A new product they have for Fall is a meat and bean chili. I've tried it and liked it. It's not spicy at all, but that can easily be remedied with something like Tabasco sauce for people who want more kick. They also have Yakisoba with beef. An enormous chicken pot pie.
For soup, they have chicken noodle soup in the prepared deli. But in the deli aisles, there are a lot of soup choices. There's a new one called something like Chicken Poblano pepper. It looks like a cheesy/creamy soup. The Kirkland Broccoli and Cheese soup is on sale right now for less than $8. There is also a Kirkland Chicken Tortilla soup. It's been a long time since I had it, but I remember it being pretty good.
I've been changing summer and fall decor. I'm not big into Halloween but I do an overall fall thing. I also changed out my summer clothes with fall/winter clothes. H is running stuff up and down stairs for me so that I don't have to do that with a boot on. I did spin this morning but that doesn't bother my foot. I talked to my trainer and we will only do upper body workouts while I'm in the boot.
@ILoveBeachMusic, oh no! I'm sorry to hear you are in a boot again. I hope the boot and physical therapy work, so you don't have to take steroids.
sorry about the sugars @short+sassy. Do you still use the libre freestyle? I didn’t like mine and I hated it on my arm, but there’s one you place on your hip that I might look into. It’s probably not covered with my insurance though. Because I want it.
edit; I did a search and maybe I was thining dexcom d6? Which is for type 2, sorry
that would be so cool if your mom and you got sibling cats, @MissKittyDanger
Sounds like a fun night @STARMOON44. Was it a charity event? I have one on the 6th myself and have to work the next day too!
i took Friday off to drive to my parents so hopefully i get to see my brother, SIl and nephews!
I occasionally double-check my sensor readings against a glucometer, especially if I am low. My sensor seems to read pretty consistently about 20-30 below my glucometer reading, so not too bad.
But, yikes, that is a crazy story with your patient!
One of the things I like most about a CGM that a glucometer can't do, is the CGM will show where the BG is trending with arrows. So, so awesome!
There's a big difference in how I treat a low or high BG, depending on where it's trending.
