Why are you doing it? I've been on low carb since January as my blood sugars were too high, so I don't eat bread, pasta, rice or potatoes any more. It's been odd eating salads in winter but I still enjoy my evening meal and my blood sugar has dropped from 65 to 55 (don't know what these numbers refer to) and so long as it's below 58 I'm okay.
Like you I can't really be doing with tuna, so if I'm having tinned fish it will be either mackerel fillets or red salmon. That said the only working out I do is Wordle once a day . . .
I've been throwing Nando's sauce in the rice and tuna to desperately give it some flavour ,still tastes as bland as chewing on an innersole.
I'm off to a funeral of an old neighbour at 2:00 today ,then we're all going to celebrate his life with the obligatory do in his favourite parish club.I'll be drinking juice at that send off ,so will probably have an @rse like a blood orange tomorrow. I'm swerving Paddy's night. I can see me struggling a bit later ,not looking forward to propping up those who can celebrate in the manner expected. It will be a massive turn out due to his popularity ,I cant even see us getting in the Crem ,but nonetheless need to show my face out of respect to his family.
I spilled practically boiling hot coffee on my leg last Friday and had to go to the doctors for the first time in 18 years on Tuesday as the wound was still weeping and getting worse. Silly old me hadn't registered with a doctor in South Yorkshire but my old doctors gave me a number for an out of ours appointment at some IHeart place, which was better than driving back to Stockport. After dropping my trousers in front of an attractive young doctor, she prescribed me some antibiotic cream, and thankfully it is clearing up now. Spoiled my week though.
I had to have a full medical last week for my visa renewal. After the blood and urine tests and the height and weight measurements I was shown in to a room for the poking and prodding in just my underwear. When the young female nurse said would I prefer a male nurse to do the check I almost said "****, no!" out loud, but managed to just say no, it's fine, instead..
Really sad day yesterday ,his Daughter stood up to say a few things and try to tell a few stories about her Dad ,but she couldn't get through it. Everyone in attendance was choking back the tears ,there must have been about 200 well wishers outside and they had to put it on a big screen for those gathered inside the foyer unable to view the service . I seen people and talked to people I hadn't seen for years ,we all went back to the Parish club and it was heaving with bodies ,I went straight over to talk to his wife and asked her if she was alright ,she just looked at me and said no! I could kick myself for asking her that ,I mean what did I expect her answer to be she's just laid her Husband to rest ? So I just gave her a hug and kissed her on the cheek and said if she needed anything just give us a shout. I was embarrassed by that and if I was ever going to get a drink it would have been then ,but I managed to stay on the orange juice all night. I was glad when the wife asked me to leave around 10pm ,I think it must have been sensory overload as she looked like a frightened rabbit caught in the headlights with all the strange and loud voices ,anyway I missed Paddy's night and went home as sober as the proverbial judge ,which is a small miracle given the offers of alcoholic beverages and lines I declined. I guess it must have been mad for them hearing me turning down the two things they have no idea I've kicked into touch, given how prolific I used to be with both.
I feel for you my friend, myself and the wife are over 70-odd years old, and over the years we have seen family and friends pass away it's not a happy time but after, maybe, when we all got together for a fair well drink after the funeral then we might have had a laugh and tears going over things that happened years before, be strong buddy, life goes on.
When you are nobody’s mother because nature didn’t make you that way. When your mother is gone because nature took them away When you fill your home wet 4 legged family and tell yourself that they’re you furry kids and that’s okay When Mothers Day reminds you you are nothing to anyone and nobody’s anything it’s a lonely day
Mother's Day is a made up day Invented years ago in the US of A It's cynical, commercial and all about money So enjoy being kind, appreciated and funny!
Life can sometimes be cruel and often unkind ,but here's something for you that might add some peace of mind. That wealth of love you hold in your heart is shared with everyone and not just a part xxx
