WHY???

You go into the supermarket and see an ENTIRE wall of crackers.
Every sort imaginable right?  And it's easy to just keep on walking, I'm not that into crackers anymore ... right?

WRONG.

SNAX (the bastards) developed a new cracker.
Several flavours.  And OMG I LOVE THEM!!!

Like, really, really love them.

ABOVE: They are SO POPULAR it's hard to find them sometimes.  I've been known to find a supermarket with heaps, and have spent a LOT of money stocking up on them!

Yep, they are that good.

And I have to give them up.

I finished the last box last night.  I'm not buying any more.  

And I could cry.  I've been living on those bloody crackers.  Some days I've only had crackers for lunch, or dinner!  BAD BAD BAD.

I know my diabetes is totally up the whack again.  I've not had a blood test since October?  Something like that.  

My doctor really upset me a few months ago (over Griffin's medication), so I just stopped doing the blood tests, dieting, taking my medication etc.

I know.  DUMB.  Like, what was I thinking?   

Side note: We as a family have changed doctors now. We are not going to someone who totally disregards our concerns, and in fact goes completely in the opposite direction to what she said she WOULD DO! I don't trust her any more.

Anyway *sigh*, I laid out all my medications last night, put them in the DAY/WEEK medication holder and am back taking them all,  LIKE I SHOULD.

And the Metformin is giving me the shits... AGAIN.  Grrrrr.

I've got work this morning, it's the big house ... so 3 hours of solid house cleaning ahead of me.  I will get home exhausted.

So, don't hold ya breath for an update too soon!

ONWARD...



1.07 pm: Well! Here I am, posting right after getting home!

That's cos I sat down and don't plan on getting up for at least an hour... unless I need a piddle.

I'd probably get up for that. lol


Work was great! I love doing this house, it's fairly new and so easy to clean! HUGE, and it certainly takes the full 3 hours, but it's a nice job.


They have a big cat too. He's lovely. Except he likes me, and follows me around the house. The number of times he's almost tripped me up today was crazy!


Anyway, today he decided to go hunting, and I caught him, not once, but TWICE devouring critters in the lounge!!! Guts and 'bits' everywhere! It was disgusting. He got put out and I shut the doors so he couldn't come back in! Eeeewwww.


I ran out of polish half way through the job, so Stew went and bought me some and brought it out. Such a good man.


Talking of Stew, he's not been idle either. I walked into the house and it smelt of baking!

He's got FOUR Feijoa cakes in the oven! Can I have cake for lunch, do ya think?


Probably not. I AM TRYING TO GET BACK ON TRACK EH?


So, that's me for now. More later.

ABOVE:  Happy man!  I think he should do more of that.


4.38 pm:  Great afternoon !!!  Stew and I just cleaned out our back shed... and I've got 6 items listed on Pay It Forward.  Very happy with how that went.

Found a few things I'd been trying to find... which is excellent.

THE CAT:  lives on a farm.  Comes and goes all the time.  Is locked out when family are not home.  I know why!  It brings it's 'food' inside to eat.  Gross.  Cats will do what cats will do... which is eat rodents/rabbits/and so on.  It's nature.

Can't kill all the cats in the world to save mice, and so on.

Talking of mice, looks like our pesky ones are eating the bait.  Awesome.  Less mice for cats to eat.

Dinner tonight is:

ABOVE:  Lamb chops cooked in thick mint sauce, accompanied by veges.  I make a rich gravy with the left over mint sauce juice in the roasting dish.

Forgive me Vegetarians.... for I love meat.

It's the end of the day.  Dinner was wonderful, one of my most favourite home cooked meals.

I'm off to bed soon... catch ya tomorrow.
