I’m off work today, and for me that’s a good thing… I’m up earlier than usual too, which is less good. As I mentioned under a week ago, I’ve had the dosage of some of my meds adjusted and I’m back on something that after taking a single tablet, I experienced my first ever sugar low. I’ve felt more or less okay since, but I get damn tired on the stuff. With Canada Day weekend having just passed, I wasn’t able to talk to my usual nurse over the weekend and I hope to in a couple of hours today. Last night for dinner I had three slices of a buffalo chicken pizza and tested relatively high after dinner. About two and a half hours later before bed, I had a significant drop, a lot more than I expected and definitely something that has me concerned. Diabetes can be pretty scary. Anyhow I know what to do and I took the steps necessary, but I can’t help wonder what would happen if one of those drops happen while I’m asleep. I’m not sure I can handle these meds anymore and I’m going to bring up my concerns today. Its affected my sleep negatively in that I feel the increased urge for napping and last night the scare had me staying up a couple of hours later than I intended and waking up several times during the night. Not fun. Either way with today being time off I hope to take it easy today and fight off this tiredness. Tomorrow its back to the office.
Last night I caught Honor Among Thieves on Netflix. Given the whole OGL thing that happened with WotC around the movies release I skipped it at the theatre. I admit, its better than I expected. OMG the dragon, Themberchaud, is chonk. Anyhow I’m up now, medicated and slowly sipping my coffee while ordinarily I’d be laying in bed dreading having to get up in the next 15 minutes.
On a last note I finally reached my breaking point with twitter. With TweetDeck being limited to verified users only come August, I really don’t think I’ll bother with the platform anymore. I’m not really all that active on social media anyway but TweetDeck was a nice convenient way to mange and monitor my twitter accounts in one place and I’ll be sticking with Mastodon now. My blog posts here already get cross posted there. I’m off for now to try to enjoy my Holiday.
Take care.
UPDATE — Wow these meds really really kick my ass. I won’t go into the details but the side effects really really make me feel shitty. I seem to be okay as in there isn’t any emergency but I’m very much not feeling well today. Fuck… just… fuck…
