Week 4 of 2026

I slept well, managed 7hrs of sleep, woke at 4.50am at 5.30 after Tim left for work I had a shower and shave before getting breakfast. My BGL was 6.4 the temp was 19c or 66f and it is raining.

It is now midday and it’s still raining the temp is 20c of 68f. Tim got home around 11.30am.

It stopped raining around 2pm so around 4pm Tim was able to go out the back and do whatever.

Had a good 7hrs sleep with some really strange dreams that mum and dad were part of mum was with me shopping and dad was at the doctors with a bleeding hand.

It is another wet day, and we are off to my appointment with Dr Babu my neurologist in Sydney a 2hr drive from here.

My appointment went well; she has increased the Sifrol to double it is now and has degreased the Madopar I take for tablets a day two of them have been degreased in strength to see if that helps with the dyskinesia.

We arrived home around 3pm

I am up way earlier then I would like to be but from 2.30am I was restless and unable to find a comfortable position to lay in so at 4.20am I got up and started my day. I may need a nap during the day we will see.

The temp this morning was 17c or 62.6f so somewhat nippy. My BGL was 6.6 so a bit high.

By 5am I had cleaned the kitchen, emptied the dishwasher, swept the kitchen floor and vacuumed the lounge and hallway, emptied the bins and had a wash and moisturised my body and of course got dressed for the day.

I tossed then towels into wash but after a while the machine made a noise and when I went to check the error code it was unable to drain. When Tim got up, he spent a couple of hours checking the drainage hose which was ok not blocked now when he gets home from work, he is going to take the pump filter out and check it.

I have asked Tasha to take the towels to hers and wash them for me she still hasn’t done it at 2pm. So, I asked Jess and Sam came down and took them back to her house to wash them for me.

Tim arrived home around 5pm and hour later than expected.

Another early start I got up at 4.20am due to a bad headache and feeling unwell. I had a good 8hrs of sleep.

At 5am my BGL was 6.5 and the temp a cool 17c or 62f, I have taken my morning meds and hopefully the headache will ease soon, I am having my morning egg flip which is helping with the unwell feeling.

I am going with Sue while she gets and Xray on her knee and then we will go to the post office as I need stamps and want to see about the concession stamps now that I am on a pension again.

Got the stamps no problem, went to Coles and then Sue went to pick up the scripts while I waited on a seat outside Coles, only to have Sue ring and say there was a problem she was being told that I owed $121 instead of $15. I went down brought up the app where it showed I’d paid, they then said it was ok all sorted.

Tasha was supposed to help go to bed only to be helping damn Benny again.

Had a good night sleep getting over 10hrs of sleep, I was up at 4.30am and had a shower and cleaned the kitchen before my 5am alarm went off.

I am going shopping with Sue and looking forward to it as per usual.

It is going to be another hot day. I am feeling so tired by midday.

Tim cooked lunch crumb chicken with baked spuds and carrots and peas, with cheesecake for dessert.

This afternoon Jess came over to get something, and Tim asked her if she was talking to him and she said no and left. This was the start of an argument between me and Tim as he acted like he didn’t understand why she would be like that. I told him she is supporting her child and doesn’t like the way he is treating Sam. This went on for 2hrs, at one point I said he was acting like he didn’t trust me and he said he didn’t, that hurt when I asked why he avoided the question and starter going on about Sam is Leo and Leo is a boy.

So, all in all a distressing afternoon.

I had a rough night; I slept well till 1.30am after that I had trouble settling tossing and turning finding it difficult to lay on my left side due to the pain in my shoulder. I managed to get some sleep laying on my back but after a while that also started to hurt. I ended up coming out to the lounge room and sleeping for a bit in my armchair. All in all, I got around 6hrs of sleep.

This morning my BGL was 7.1 and it was 19c or 66f.

I was surprised to see Sue turn up she just came to check on me.

Steps: 7,750 = 3.9k’s or 2.2 miles

I slept well last night getting 7hrs of sleep my BGL was 5.9 the temp this morning is 17c or 62f.

This morning Tim and I went to Aldi as they had advertised office chairs for $60 but of course, they had none in stock. So, I spent some time looking online for one but then my internet started playing up so I got the shits and packed it in.

After going to Aldi Tim wanted to go to his favourite butcher which we did, and he got the meat he wanted.

It has been another hot day with a temp of 30c or 86f in my house without the air con going.

Around 6pm Jessica came down and showed me some clips she found funny and reminded her of me, it was funny.

It was then I was informed that her and Tim had a long talk and things are much better between them.

Tasha arrived at 7.15pm to help me get ready for bed.
