Week 4 of 2025

 


After a rough start I managed to get some decent sleep, it is 20 degrees at 6am and my BGL was 4.8

Tim is working, he had left before I got up.

I managed to do a number of things on the computer, like research and write up this week’s blog post, no I didn’t do them all in one day but over two days.

A fine day, Tim home by 3pm

Steps: 8,352

I had a good night but when I got up to pee at 4.50am I was struggling to keep my eyes open, so I took my tablets and went back to bed for 20 minutes. After that I was feeling ok and had a hot shower when I got up.

It is only 15 degrees and my BGL was 4.9

Kathy dropped the girls off around 9am she wasn’t feeling well are rang me at midday to say she was heading home and will come get the girls. She did a four in one test and she has Covid, explains why she feels like death warmed up.

Tim bought a wall heater/fan for the bathroom it is mounted and working. The heater part works better than the fan but that’s ok it is mostly the heater we will use in the colder months.

Steps: 4,469

I had a good night, didn’t wake at all, I am feeling good this morning. It is only 16 degrees and my BGL was 4.9.

It has become a hot day, and I needed the air con on.

I vacuumed, washed the laundry, bathroom and kitchen floors. After that I washed the towels and hung them out, after that I was exhausted.

Steps: 7,952

SYDNEY-MAY’S BIRTHDAY SHE IS 15

I had a good night, didn’t wake at all, I am feeling good this morning. It is 18 degrees and my BGL was 5.0.

Sue drove me to my doctor’s appointment to get the results of my Xray and Scan, all is ok, yes, I have arthritis but it’s not too bad.

Had a women Sue knows contact me about the toaster oven that Jess doesn’t want, she came over and picked it up.

I am having a restless night

Steps:8,093

A new day has arrived and after a rough start I ended up sleeping well for five hours.

It 20 degrees and by BGL was 4.9.

Sue took me to have my ears cleaned, as it turned out my right ear was clear, but the left was 70% blocked.

We then went to Coles before coming home. It has been a warm day but no need for the air con just the fan.

Steps:3,479

Another day is here and it’s Friday, Tim has no work today, so I suggested we go out for lunch as it is his birthday on Sunday (Australia Day). I asked Sue if she would like to join us also asked Tasha and Jess, but they said nope, Jess said she will be sleeping as she is working tonight. Tasha has no money.

It is 20 degrees and my BFL was 5.0.

Lunch was good, Sue and I laughed a lot.

It has been a nice warm day needing only the fan at times to cool down.

Steps:5,484

Another good night and another cool start to the day, nothing on today I don’t need to leave the house and that feels good.

It is only 16 degrees, and we are looking at a top temp of only 25 degrees.

When Tim got up, he said we needed to change the sheets, so I stripped the bed and remade it.

It is a warm day, but I haven’t turned the air con on.

I have felt exhausted a few times today but that’s ok it was after doing stuff like changing the sheets, shaving my legs then cleaning the bathroom sink. Vacuuming and sorting through some stuff.

I am having a rough night.

Steps: 8, 101

  1. My husband is a radiologist and he knows how important it is for patiients to get the results of their Xrays and Scan. I hope your arthritis is very manageable.

  5. When I first read this, I thought, "Great Googli Moogli, it's COLD down there!"
    Then, I remembered it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere and, like most of the world, you use Celsius.
    FWIW, it's been cold AF in Virginia this week.
    Below 0 degrees, Celsius.

  6. I had to smile at "shaving my legs" ... I haven't had hairy legs since I reached late 60s I think. I do appreciate your comments on my poetry blog, Jo Anne.

  8. I have to ask what BGL is, Jo-Anne? You get plenty of steps in everyday. That's really amazing to me, who does not get enough. Happy Birthday to Tim. I hope it is a good day for him. I think our high temperature today is 16 F, a bit different from your 16 C!
