WHALE OF A TIME

 Late last night I headed into the sewing room and did the first fish on the new runner...

ABOVE:  A fish... well actually a whale!  Isn't he cute?  He's a start, two more fish to do, then weed, bubbles etc.  I'd like to get this one finished for next Saturday's market.

But first up for today, I've got Aqua Jogging at 10, which gives me plenty of time to do the housework before I leave.

Then when I get home I can get back to the sewing.

I reckon it's gunna be a good day.   

I WOULD have Weight Watchers tonight, but I have decided to switch back to the Tuesday night meeting, because it just makes sense to go to the meeting that is 1 km from home, instead of 13 kms eh?  With the cost of petrol now days, it's prudent not to be wasteful.  And it doesn't take long to get to the Rototuna meeting compared to the Melville one.

So, WW tomorrow night.

Catch ya later.

11.57 am:  There was a different instructor at Aqua Jog today.  She's filling in for a couple of weeks.

Her routine focused primarily on legs, and a little bit of arms, but not much.

I'm glad I went in with no expectations this time.  Part of the time I followed the routine, and part of the time I did my own thing, adding more arm work in.

It was a good workout overall for me.

Home, showered and just about to have my left over chicken 'n' vege bake for lunch.

I tried ringing my Medical Centre for my Hba1c results.  After half an hour being shunted from one number to another, and being put on hold twice... I drove down there.  I was FURIOUS.

The receptionist was NOT ON THE PHONE, so I have no idea why I was on hold for over half an hour.

I kinda lost my shit at them.  Then cried.

Then fumed at them some more.

BUT... I did manage to get my Hba1c result.

ABOVE: THAT cheered me up.  And I wanted to ring me Mum to let her know how well I was doing.  Only, I remembered, she's dead.

Moments like that hurt all over again.

So anyway, got over the horrible feeling in the pit of me guts ... and I went over to Bex's and showed her instead.

ABOVE:  August 2022 I was at 121, which is off the chart, EXTREMELY high.

November 2022 I was at 83, a huge drop.

Today?  I'm at 55 !

Like 55 is considered NORMAL for a diabetic.

I'M NORMAL.

Can we have a huge congrats?  

I'll wait.

I'm so damn happy with myself.

DOWN 66 points!  MORE than half the number I was.

I got some sewing done this afternoon, but not as much as I'd like.  I've got a damn crick in me neck which is slowing me down a bit.

Time to stop sewing and just get me feet up for a while.

I'm going to have a fruit smoothie for dinner.  Not sure what Stew's having, something good I hope.  😂😊😋

Catch ya tomorrow.
