I can’t seem to shake this headache. I’ve had it since yesterday afternoon.
I know it’s not from lack of caffeine or water. If I got any more hydrated, my kidneys would float! I think I’ll try taking more ibuprofen when I go to bed, see if that helps.
In better news, my diabetes is officially under control with meds and the dietary changes I’ve made! My A1C, which was a 10.3 in April, is down to a 6.8! I still have to take my meds and watch what I eat, but now I know I can effect positive change on my life. It’s not yet more lost weight, but it’s a damn good start.
I’m going to go practice on Duolingo and maybe read some? I’ve been wanting to catch up on my #200Book Challenge.
Take your meds, folks!

2 Episodes of Carnival Row Watched
Today was a nice day off. I spent the day with Reffie, writing, chatting, and catching the first two episodes of Amazon’s Carnival Row. A pretty well-accomplished day off, if one that left me dragging a bit by the end of it. Though, they could more be a reflection of last night’s late night than anything else.
