7.1 and the stress has gone.. the car passed the roadworthy certificate inspection. Theyre really thorough on old cars & this one is 25yr old. I was worried it wouldnt pass & I'd have to buy a new car. The priority is ....one low enough for me to lift the fat boy with short legs in. He can get out OK & really fast when we arrive at the park, but needs to be lifted in & on the seat.

100 today. Have some orchids on my patio that will be blooming soon.

96 today.

86 today. I'm just a little off.

133 @adiantum I had my house re-shingled about five years ago and I used architectural shingles. They also installed a ridge roof vent, I already had soffit vents and 24 inches of insulation was installed on top of the 2nd floor ceiling joists (the floor of the attic) when I built the house in 1991. I'm off to the Cape just waiting for the last load of wash to come out of the dryer.

92 this morning.

73 Just got home from the endocrinologist. I saw the PA and she said my blood work was "amazing" and the doctor was going to be really happy. My A1c is down from 7.2 to 6.6. She said I get an A++ on this appointment. I wore the Libre patch for two weeks and my average was 122 during those two weeks. Woo hoo! I'm a happy boy!

68 today. The Sahara even sends us presents like hurricanes and dust storms.

71 (and I felt it) @Diana_CT - For us here in FL it's Morroco and the Sahara.

154 Didn't take any meds last night. Doing a little experiment to see how it affects my sugar, pulse and bp not taking them for 24 hours. I feel like I don't know what normal feels like anymore having taken all these meds for so many years. Side effects galore.

107....again.

98 today. humm

93 today. Looking like a nice day so heading out to ride.

Lee, that is a beautiful house, I'm sorry that you weren't able to get it. That whirlybird, as you call them, we also have over here, but most houses, mine included, have electric attic fans that turn on at a temperature and humidity that you set, to remove excess heat and humidity from the attic. Another concern that I'd have with a metal roof....static electric shock. There is a high voltage transmission tower behind my house (one leg of it sits in my neighbor's back yard), and it gives off static electricity. My previous neighbor had aluminum siding on his house, and he had to install ground rods at each outside corner of his house, and run a wire from the siding to each ground rod to drain off the static electricity. I'd need to do the same with a metal roof. Of course, if I did that, considering that I live on a hill, lightning would be attracted to the grounded metal roof.😊

76 Be aware...if you get a metal roof, they're notorious for blocking cellular signals. Every time I go in to Lowe's I lose signal. I have friends with a metal roof and they have a hard time with signal and there's a tower less than a mile from them.

Water, more hydration needed is my guess, especially with walking in Summer. Once you get a little dehydrated, BG level creeps up which triggers more dehydration, etc. it takes effort to break this circle, extra glass of iced water and staying in AC room. I also noticed if I stop eating at 6pm my morning BG is better 'cuz it is 12 hrs between evening meal and checking BG in the morning.

A 105 today.

113 Got my blood work results yesterday. Every single thing was withing range. I don't remember that ever happening. The only thing I've changed in the last month is eating 85% whole food, plant based. Meat, poultry, fish, cheese, etc maybe two meals a week. It will be interesting to see how the endo interprets these results on Tuesday.

6.1 A Shih tzu I once had had to stay in hospital overnight, so I came home , took my pillow case off its pillow & returned to the vets with it for them to give to her. The vet commented on how she had snuggled into it. Ive had some wonderful dogs.
