This week has flown and the week-end is near. I have busy plans for the day so I need to pace myself and be glad in it.
Waking early I placed a load of towels in the washing machine, folded some clothing, researched about thyroid health and diabetes. Cleaned the inside of the fridge, rearranged it.
I know that one sign of being a diabetic is frequent toilet trips. Had my husband check my blood sugar and it was rather high this morning. I suspected this as I had heard if there is too much sugar in the blood then you will be urinating more than usual. SO I took a couple of apple cider vinegar tablets to help lower the blood sugar.
I was reading about Berberine and the affects it has on diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol plus obesity. I think it's a fit for me. Will get some and give it a whirl.
Drinking organic tomato juice with only 50 calories for 8 oz. is truly a low cal drink for breakfast. I ate 2 TBSP of organic peanut butter from a spoon and munched on a small sausage patty. Sipping on water. To be critical, I should have skipped the sausage patty as it is super high in the wrong kind of fat for me. The peanut butter is a plus as it is good for diabetics and the tomato juice a go.
The weather this morning is awesome in the 50s so the French doors are open to let some fresh air inside. Gray skies with fall like temps is my kind of weather. Have to go shave my hairy legs this morning, take a warm shower, shampoo my hairdo, air dry and do some more laundry.
Yesterday evening I finally got two geraniums repotted to the front porch urns. They look rather sad this morning. Hope they perk up and make it. Also planted a couple of daisy plants that my Oklahoma children gifted me with for Mother's Day. They are on death's doorstep as I think I waited too long to plant them. Pray they pull through as well. I left them on the patio beside the patio furniture.
For a woman who's middle name is Fern, I do not have a green thumb. I love plants and flowers so I admire them, but am challenged as a horticulturist.
Plans this week-end are to work on the junk room. This is another challenge that I wish I didn't have. I have not been able to work up there the month of May as I was gone taking care of my Mom. I am spread way too thin and it is bothering my nerves.
