Week 49 of 2024

 

Another good night, when I woke at 5am and had a shower, I am zoning out a bit this morning, don’t know why my BGL is ok at 5.30 it was 5.1 and it was 22 degrees, it is supposed to be another hot day.

Tim and I went over to Lake Fair so Tim could get new work pants and shorts. I also went to the Reject shop and got a few things. After that we went and picked up the new air con.

It got hot a top temp of 32 degrees.

Sue made a chocolate cake and divided it between herself, Sandy and me, Tim tried it and really liked it, and Tim doesn’t as a rule eat cake. However, he does eat lamingtons which is cake.

Steps: 8,523

Another pretty good night, we are in for another stinking hot day with a temp of around 32 degrees. At the moment it is 19 degrees, I forgot to test my blood before eating so don’t know what that was.

I am feeling with it this morning and I am getting things done, little things around the house like vacuuming and hanging a few more Christmas decorations, cleaning the kitchen bench off and going online and modifying my grocery order for tomorrow. All in all, I am feeling good this morning.

I started to feel drained and worn out by lunch time, maybe I should have tried to have nap, but I didn’t.

When I went to meet Sam at 2pm it was 33 degrees.

I turned the air con off at 5.30pm but left the fans going as it wasn’t as hot.

Steps:10,122

Had a so-so night, took me a while to settle but once I did, I slept well, till the alarm went off. At the moment it is nice with the temp of 22 degrees my BGL was 5.1

By lunch time it was 31 degrees.

When I went to meet Sam, I saw Denni & Landon walking home from the high school, it was their orientation day. It was great seeing them.

While I was waiting it wasn’t that hot, it was very warm but not hot.

I was able to turn the air con off at 5.30 and open the doors and turn the ceiling fan on instead.

Steps: 4,696

Had a good night slept straight through, however, I woke with a headache which isn’t good.

It is a pleasant 22 degrees this morning my BGL was 5.5.

When I went up to the top of the driveway with Sam it was really windy, and the wind was on the cold side.

I turned the air con on at 12.30 only needed it on till 3pm.

It is 10.40pm and I woke up after about an hour or so sleep very restless, so I am using the powerfit before returning to bed.

Steps:7,782

After using the powerfit and returning to bed I slept well.

When I tried to ring Sam there was no answer, so I ended up ringing Jess who said that Sam wasn’t going to school as there was either the swimming carnival or sports carnival. I then sent Joel a text to make sure he knew Sam wasn’t going to school.

Sue drove me to the doctors and went to the post office for me and I went and got fresh bread.

Seems Sue told Tasha about a lady at Baker’s Delight that she felt had an issue with serving me, Sue said she gave me a dirty look and seemed annoyed that it took me so long to find the money for my purchase. I might add I didn’t notice anything, but I was focused on what I was doing and not falling over.

So, Tasha rang Baker’s Delight and lodged a complaint about the woman, as way of saying sorry I get a free loaf of bread and a Danish on my next visit. I don’t know how I feel about it all. 

Steps:6,045

After another good night, I woke only when the alarm went off, Tim gets to sleep in as he doesn’t have to be up till 7am.

It is a lovely 21 degrees and my BGL is 4.8

I went with Sue so she could adopt a kitten, an 8-week-old male called Arti, she adopted it from a shelter in Maitland it was a 45-minute drive. There was a lot of paperwork to fill out, in fact she had to write her name, address, phone number and email address 8 times.

It has been a stinking hot with a top temp of 33 degrees.

Steps:2,000 (steps are low due to unstable knee and the heat)

I was unsettled last night till around midnight, so when the alarm went off, I got up and took my tablets and went back to bed. I hoped to stay there till around 6am, as Tim said he would drive me down to have blood taken at 7am and as it is a fasting test I can’t have anything to eat till after it is done.

Went and had blood taken there was 7 people in front of me, but it didn’t take to long.

Another sticky, muggy day, need the air con on early to suck the moisture out of the air.

Tim took Jess’s car for rego check which it passed, so she is happy about that.

Steps: 3,604

  1. I hope Sue and Arti will be happy together. 🐈

    I can understand how you don’t know how to feel about the complaint/complimentary loaf of bread or pastry. For myself, if I didn’t notice it and wasn’t offended it would not feel right. Then on the other hand, having my oldest son with dwarfism, I noticed all the time people laughing and pointing. It made me mad. Family members get protective over the way treated by others.

    1. Yes I told myself that Tasha only has my best interest in mind, and since I am usually concentrating on what I am doing like not dropping money on the floor.

  2. Employees need to be the type that don't show negatives on their faces. Complaints/compliments help a lot. I had to look up Lamingtons, not a big coconut fan, he can have mine lol

  3. People these days need to learn basic manners and etiquette, for sure, and be thankful they even have a job. Just enjoy the bread and pastry, Jo-Anne, and stay cool. Blessings!

    1. Yes if the woman learns to have patience and not let on how she may feel then I guess that will be a good thing

  5. 5 am is an AWFULLY early time to wake up, unless work or newborn babies give you no choice. I would rather sleep till 7.30 am and give the afternoon nap a miss.

  7. I cannot believe it's already week 49 of the year! I am glad you got to enjoy some fresh bread, even if they did give you a dirty look! I love that you keep track of your steps every day. I need to do that! I work as a carpet cleaner so I get a lot of steps in pushing the carpet cleaning machine!
