Lookit this lovely boy. He’s so dignified. That little black nose of his really ties his look together, yanno? Of course, he can totally be a goober as well, but it’s harder to catch that compared to Vivi’s constant gooberness. Today has been okay. I’ve been doing some blood sugar science with interesting results.  Nothing bad — if anything, suggesting… Read more »

Vivi was chilling next to me soaking up the pets, so I scooped him into my lap. It was super effective! I tried to get a good picture of both of us, but had to settle for him looking like his normal goober-y self. I love his little goober faaaaace. It’s been a good day on the whole. A few… Read more »

Today has been okay. I had an issue last night when I was trying to upload images to my shop, but thankfully, my webhosting has THE best customer service. So when I dropped a request for help this morning, I had back a very helpful novella in no time flat that gave me at least one option to resolve my… Read more »

Past the turn, and on to the grind. How long before I get bored of going up? Hopefully quite a few more inches. We’ll see! Nothing super much going on today. I’ve got my photobox up and am trying to convince myself to get stuck in, but pre-shooting logistics eat my head, like trying to scale up what I was… Read more »

Z needed to go outside and trim back our blackberry bramble, and asked if I’d come out and keep him company. Well, sure, I guess. And then I remembered that natural light exists out there, and *hisses softly*. But that’s fine, ha ha. It’s some good Vitamin D or sommat. Mainly feeling okay today. Bit of dizzy, light enough of… Read more »

So uh, I guess I’m keeping a food diary of sorts. *laughs* It’s going okay so far. I’m only putting in the barest of notes, and mainly, just to frame taking a couple of blood tests a day. I’m hoping that it will serve me in good stead for medication when I see the diabetes nurse in a few weeks;… Read more »

It feels nice to go back to the most basic AF sock-making after ages. I might pick something more challenging for my next pair, when I get there, but we’ll see. I have been fending off the worst headache all day; Z reckons it’s due to the sudden reduction of sugar going into me. He’s probably right, and in the… Read more »

Finally had my phone appointment with my doctor this morning; he declares me to be diabetic. So it goes. I’m in next month to talk to the diabetic nurse about treatment, ,and choosing to assume that the diabetes is a potential factor in the severity of the vertigo BS lately. Z ent to the shop for me, picked up some… Read more »

So uh, got slapped with a murder wave of vertigo earlier. Staring in the far distance did nothing to try and centre my brain. My bucket was my dearest of friends. I was vibrating… and I think that it all adds up to ‘should’ve called 999/gone to A&E’. I told Z that, so we’ll think about what we want to… Read more »

Sock #1 is coming along alright. I dropped the end of row stitch marker at some point and had to estimate how many I’d done before I realised what had happened. But it’s fine, it’s fine. I can just go by measurement if the rows don’t quite go together. The main places I specifically need the number mapping are the… Read more »
