Stupid body woke me 6am but look!! I do t want to jinx it but I may not need to increase my insulin much more! I'm to stop when I get to 7 points on waking (today was 8). Given its been 12 recently this is a massive improvement! On 20 units right now, so exciting!!!!

I'm awake at 6am-not because of my sensor but my body felt 6hrs was enough sleep. I disagree but have zero say in the matter. At least I can get a few hours review gaming before my carer comes! I'd joked I'd be up early as I planned a lie-in and my prediction was accurate. Will need coffee later!

Streaming services are working tonight! So watching a bit of #DisneyDescendants2 over dinner. Massive Evie fan, Uma is great too!

Not quite tiddling my thumbs but icing for the 2nd 5kg box of timothy hay to arrive by 2.22pm. The 1st one is lonely....

Credit to whoever the artist is, I changed my wallpaper to Uni from Neptunia series! Click to see the full image. She is cute!

Had another 5.30am wake up by my CGM sensor. I don't silence the lost signal alarm just in case I slept more than 8hrs and had a hypo in my sleep. So it means early starts indefinitely. Might put my phone somewhere else as right arm is furthest from where I put my phone which is where it gets fussy

Feeling happy with my body for once as the speckled lentil Dahl I made DIDNT SPIKE MY BLOOD SUGAR AT LUNCH!!!! Despite being carby!!!! Yay!!!!! Can have it at breakfast 🥰

Countryside Internet is on top form this week (sarcasm). Can't watch any streaming services for some reason. Sigh. Good thing I have lots of dvds! Might watch Barbie movies as I wanted to rewatch Princess and the PopStar and watch another new to me one.

#VisionsofMana is definitely a happy game for me despite the bittersweet plot. It's so vibrant!

The other day tried a #greensmoothie no fruit. It was surprisingly tasty! Used celery, cucumber, kale and a bit of ginger which I think was a good mix.

In this week's #TheDumplings weigh in Tulip regained the weight she lost, Berry is a certified chonk despite looking smaller than her matriarch she is a sturdy, lower body heavy chonk at 1kg 66g, 50g more than Tulip who is a chublet 🥰

Slept poorly so am tired. Will do essential chores only so the girls and making space for the incoming 10kg of timothy hay in 1hr. Dishes left for my helper.

Tired so curling up with some #VisionsofMana before bed. Loving my replay. Hinna is the best and is still with me for now....just got the pikkuls too! Despite being giant black dogs (scared of them usually) I like them!

Happily got the Red Riding Hood cloak in #InfinityNikki! Got the boots too. Really want the hair and dress but will wait until I can see what next wvent's outfits are as to whether I try to get them. Plus not guaranteed so might just save my pulls for something out and get these on its return #PS5

Spent the past 15mins panicked as the bird bath fell and Yoshino (Yoshi) escaped from the cage. He usually flies around loudspeaker but apart fromt he initial flap where I couldn't see him he ws silent. I was scared he had banged his head or something. Rang my family for moral support in case it was

Making slow but steady progress with my #crochet tote bag gift. Slow because I'm mostly review gaming in the day but have started on the handle. Got a few decorative parts left to complete too.

I got a decent chunk of sleep when I finally got to sleep. No horrid nausea this morning. I had given in and had some crackers although stupidly didn't have protein or fat with them so my glucose levels went a bit nutty but never mind it helped!! Feel very peaky today as usual. Blah! Got a quiet

It's after midnight. I want to be asleep but my body has other plans. Let's give me intense nausea for no known reason! Well it could be I had my calcium tablet before my anti-sickness. That happens from time to time. I want my crochet but it's too far to move so mahjong solitaire time while I try

Totally want a helpful AI robot to do my chores for me when I have no energy. That's a future I can totally get on board with. Until then, energy depletion in progress

The rhubarb took only 1hr on high despite being 1kg 200g!!! #slowcooker awesomeness 🌟🥰

Having a few days of being peaky so resting as much as possible. Some days are like this unfortunately.

Currently can't get past 53 in #MahjongMinimal which is annoying me a lot! In double digits now for trying 😭😭

Love how Maple & Tulip (under the ramp) knew me getting off the sofa didn't mean food but Berry tried her luck!!! #TheDumplings #Guineapigs

It's a sunshine filled day which tends to lift spirits somewhat. I'm racing (in my slow fashion) to get chores done before I feel too horrendous, then quietly review gaming today. Had some insomnia last night mostly as I was struggling with Snow's grief but a friend chatted & I'm getting cute photo

Almost ready!

Feeling a bit tearful as I got the perfect banner shot for #TheDumplings today so have replaced my profile banner here. It no longer has Snow. From the left is Maple (1yr) Tulip (7yrs) (Blue)Berry (1yr). Soon be 6 months and I miss my snow white princess as much as ever. She was one of a kind 🥰💜

Feeling extra peaky so trying 30mins not 10mins total rest now. I won't e refreshed but it might help a smidge.

Random fact of the day - frozen sliced mushrooms gently pan fried are as good as freshly sliced mushrooms! Much easier than making sure they don't go bad jn the fridge #freezerwin

Tired as family visited and was trying but failed to complete the crochet project. However, today Tulip somehow got her podgy self into the narrow honey pot hidey! She was so chuffed and Berry hated her in it as that was her den. Tutu wasn't budging!!! Previous she had to exit backwards due to

Having a well controlled day makes me very happy!!! I'm getting there. Might only need 1 more increase to be where I need to be for now on a permanent basis!!! Or maybe 2. #diabeteslife

Enjoying this #AmazonClassics #LittleWomen #audiobook as I do my chores with lots of rest. Amy has just stopped going to school.because of the pickled like incident. I love her and Meg the most.

My cgm behaved and didn't wake me! I'm having a low chore day of embroidery and TV. Going to finish #JurassicWorld #CampCretaceous & watch the spin off #ChaosTheory anime. #dinosaur day!!! Go dinos! 🦕 🥰🤭 Determined to get most of my winter project done today...

#Ramadan may be over but still trying to listen to the Quran regularly, not just on a Friday. Worship is for every day!

A parcel came hours early which was convenient. Less so was being woken 4.20am by my glucose monitor alarm saying it had lost signal. My phone is by my bed so not sure how that happens A simple rescan made it happy and I went back to sleep for a few hours but I feel a bit wrecked from the premature

I don't even have coffee every day, but sometimes I need 2 cups! Like today. The green tinge is a reflection of a green lid not the coffee 😋😆 used Toffee Nut by #BeaniesCoffee no sweetners or sugar, pure flavour instant coffee only! ☕ 😺

Feeling a bit blah so watching upbeat #Disney #Hercules which I did an essay on for one of my degree courses, Ancient film, and I got a great grade! Had to watch the dull black and white Hercules once for comparison. Totally watched the Disney ver a few times for "research purposes" 😋😆😇🤭

Sleepy as had insomnia then had to have an early blood test and about to get back to being cozy but Sainsburys came 90mins early (with my permission) do shopping sorting 1st. And lots of yawning but look at the funky #InfinityNikki outfit I got! Very modern

Needing a break from 3d gaming until tomorrow, as I'm now feeling sick from the wonderful motion sickness I can be prone to. Finishing eve chores then wither 2d gaming or crochet.

Been loving the current #InfinityNikki update which is Little Red Riding Hood themed..as I didn't have enough gems for the outfit to start I went for a few outfits. This is like a sweet Snow White Hatsune Miku vibe

Not sure why I bothered having my protein and half tomato before my overnight nights if it did this! Sigh. I thought I was getting somewhere! #diabeteslife Still not entirely on board with no short dose insulin at meals but I'm doing as I'm told.

Meds not beds!!! Stupid autocorrect

Because I'm not ill, just reacting to beds, I'm back to handfeedkng th girls in the morning. Berry tolerates handling & will hate me tomorrow as her white behind is dirty but I can't clean her alone as wet piggies are slippery, more so if they hate handling. The others will just have nails clipped

So the extra fatigue is probably the new meds I'm on for blood pressure. Used Google and um yes extreme fatigue can be a factor silly me! Mine isn't super low or anything but that would explain a lot as its been 2 weeks since I started it. Sigh. I hope my body adjusts better. I know why they didn't

Finished #PrettyGirlsMahjongSolitaire Blue last night, started a new simple mahjong game with satisfying wooden noises when tiles are matched #MahjongMinimal #Ninhandos

Walked in and saw Maple and Blueberry together today. Tulip currently has sore feet so have ordered guinea pig friendly ointment as it's almost certainly an age thing. She is almost 7! I thought I had an video appt today but it's tomorrow. Oh well! #guineapigs

I've woken up with a fraction (and I mean a teeny tiny fraction) more energy than I've had for however long I've been unwell so apart from unavoidable chores I am focusing on binge watching Siren and working on embroidery! Here is my starting point and if the day derails I will be grumpy!

Taking it easy as felt very peaky yesterday and today too. Outside of essential chores resting as much as I can. Here's Berry looking cute in the honey pot hidey #TheDumplings

Enjoying simple crochet and an evening with the 2 #Pocahontas movies. I know they are controversial but I really like the.. Meeko the racoon and Flit the hummingbird are stars!

Family visiting soon. Think levels looking marginally better and I can go up a unit tomorrow too. Finally got my banner up for late Eid! Going to make another ASAP so this can be Eid specific. The next one is extra fun just dont ask what colours yet.

Very late cleaning #TheDumplings but had to muster energy. Berry gave me a good stare earlier. Their schedule gets a bit off kilter when I'm extra unwell so j do feel.bad but, contrary to what they think they will not die if veggies are delayed. They have plenty of nutritious, half peed on hay!!!
