Thursday evening I discovered that the kitchen tap was very loose…

I was concerned that it might pop off, start spraying water, and cause another flood…

my housemate worked late and didn’t have a chance to look at it, but the next morning, as I started prepping for a special gathering, I decided to get help…

I called around 9:30 and my friend Al (I have made way too many calls to these folks, lol) turned up around 12:15… this local business is located on the street corner four minutes from my house, so it is very handy …

he tightened the nut holding the tap to the sink, fixed the loose handle, and advised that there wouldn’t have been a flood if the tap completely disengaged…he filled out paperwork and was gone…

amazing what a quick response could do to settle my nerves and let me continue my preparations for the evening’s gathering;-)…

thanks Next-Gen😁…

the hibiscus made it into the house and was looking great… so far…

still had lots of buds and I was eagerly waiting to see if they would bloom because sometimes the buds fall off after a move…

the above photos were taken on Tuesday and the ones below were taken tonight…

it was so wonderful to have these blooming today as it has been snowing since early this morning, sigh…

guess the timing was good, lol…

snack…

big girl pants, insulin, pancreas, popcorn, snack, timing

one of the most difficult things to get sorted out is my late night snack…

  
the trick seems to be what time I need to eat it…

supposed to have protein every time I eat and trying to figure out just the right time for the last snack is complicated…

  
apparently our pancreas sends out a burst of insulin every morning around three… because mine isn’t quite well behaved, it kind of drips instead of just spewing out a single amount… 

apparently the idea is to eat food that encourages the pancreas to send out a burst of insulin and then stops instead of the drippy business…

one of my favourite snacks is popcorn and almonds… make it in a Tupperware measuring cup with a lid… then add a tiny bit of canola oil and salt…

  
popcorn is always served in a plastic fish bowl… tastes better that way:-)…

appears that eating about ten or ten thirty seems to be the best…

always learning about this new way of being…
