LAKE TODAY

 

This morning I'm doing housework and odd jobs.

Both my new FBG t-shirts are too long for me, so I will be making them shorter this morning.  

I've had some lovely comments from my fellow FBG'ers about the 'doctoring' I did to both t-shirts too, which is just lovely. 

Later on this afternoon Lacy and I are going for a walk around the lake.  I'm really looking forward to that, we've not been walking for a while now.  I miss the annoying tart.

I've had to start taking Magnesium Capsules for leg cramps again, after not using it for over a year.  Ever since I started Trulicity, my hot flushes have ramped up again.  MOST annoying.  So I'm sweating more, hence getting more cramps due to fluid loss.  

I have also, coincidentally, dropped the amount of Diet Coke I've been drinking by half.

Probably due to the weather cooling, and me not feeling as thirsty.

So I'm probably not drinking enough either.

Ahhh the balances, the balances.  Are out.

So I'm trying to have at least one hot drink a day to fill the fluid gap.

The Magnesium sure helps though.  It also helps you sleep much better as well.

Does anyone else take Magnesium and what for?

ONWARD...

And just like that, today's plans have changed.  Lacy can't walk with me after all.  So I'm having a 'rest' day.  Probably just as well cos my lower back is pretty sore.

I have a walk planned in Cambridge for tomorrow with the FBG's, so that's all good.

ABOVE:  It has been a relatively quiet day here.

I went to the supermarket for a few supplies, then came home and did ... NOTHING!

Then I decided to make more stewed apple for my dinners of yoghurt and fruit.

That thing above?

THE.  BEST.  INVENTION.  SINCE.  SLICED.  BREAD.

It makes peeling and coring apples super fast and easy.  Like SOOOOOoooooo easy.

I absolutely love it.

I'm going over to Steve and Bex's this evening for a little while.  Just visiting before Stew gets home.

Well, my 5th Trulicity injection went perfectly tonight.  Absolutely no pain at all, not even a little prick!  It does help that there are areas on my belly that are quite without feeling on the surface due to surgeries.  And numbing cream.  That certainly helps as well.

So, even though I did stress out most of the day, I really didn't need to.

I'm sure I will eventually get used to it.  Maybe.

And now... we are settling down for the night, next stop... bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
