Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1340
    Reading:  118
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1414
    BP:  129/58
    Pulse:  54

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2122
    Reading:  106
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2121
    BP:  131/58
    Pulse:  58

    Looks like her BP is suffering from Kitten Interference and will probably continue to do so for the next several days. Every time I seek out a good time to take her BP, along comes Mr. Man to distract her.
    Dinner tonight was rolled flank steak with Portabello mushrooms, baked on top of a thick slice of onion and sprinkled with Worchestershire sauce; with corn on the cob.
    Regarding breakfast, over the last few days I've been serving hard boiled instead of fried eggs (except when we have bulk sausage; I still scramble them into crumbled, fried sausage), which also means I've been eating eggs. I much prefer boiled to fried/scrambled, whatever. I've done this in an effort to cut back a little on her salt and fat intake. Not a big deal nor a big push...I just thought it might be a good time to start instituting some formal notice of these things.
    Her extremely late (or extremely early, depending on how you look at it) retirement continues.
