Hmm.. As I suspected my BSL was much higher than it should be. I got a lecture about health and chocolate so he upped my medication to give the insulin a better chance of controlling things.
That’s how it will be for the next six weeks then back again to ensure that I have behaved and the medication is doing its job. Provided both issues are in sync I can drop back to maintenance level. Finally, I have a full email system back in action. I bit the bullet and installed Office 365. Cost me the office 2016 that was already installed, but there you are, if I wanted Outlook and a mail system, it had to be done. Everything seems to be up and running up to a point – the point being the recreation of my address book, which I will do tonight.
You load 365 and what do you get
An Office Suite and deeper in debt
Oh St. Peter don’t you call me
I can’t log off
I owe my soul to Microsoft
Ok, being silly but all is done and everything is up and running again, so I no longer have any excuses. Hopefully this new system will stabilise everything and I wont have the problems I had in the past – like mail vanishing into cyberspace.
The Vet is closed down until Monday 4th January. If we do have any problems there is another Vet in town that we could go to, but I always think that is fraught with danger in that once you go
there you might not come back. Mustafa has been closed since 11th December. I went up to see the Grooms at Fussy Dogs and explained that Benji is a rescue dog and I have no idea how he would react around other dogs – I can only go by how he reacts around me and the family. She said she would accept him and see how he went. I took him up yesterday and, well, chuffed ( means really proud/happy) just about says it all and he related well to the other dogs. The girls were quite fond of him and said he was a lovely pup easy to work with.
We had Christmas Dinner at my younger son’s place and all the family were there. It was a great day and I allowed myself one small glass of wine – since I was driving. Don’t like Coke-Cola much so drank lots of iced water. It was a long, hot, day and by the time I got home I could barely keep my eyes open. West to the Watchnight Service, then home then up at 5:30 mainly because someone felt that since it was light it was time for walking – so we did. I am still having problems with the Victorian Registration people and I still have not received any paperwork from them with regard to Benji. However, I have been in to see our Council and I will fill in the forms for them and for the Victorian Registration people and they will deal with it. In the meantime I need a Statutory Declaration signed by a J.P. and they will register the Benji with a note of his registration re the address on his microchip. If no success, we may have to think about a second Microchip.
Just thought I would mention that it has always been our tradition that the Christmas Offering is a Retiring Offering, people decide to leave something or not. We did announce that the retiring offering this year would go to the Royal Flying Doctor Service and a respectable amount was handed over to the RFDS Treasurer.
A devastating fire along the Great Ocean Road has caused widespread damage with over 110 homes destroyed. A difficult area to get into and a major tourist attraction. I have only traveled a short distance along the GOR when I was in Drysdale and it is a beautiful area. This main fire and some other fires are still burning in Victoria but New South Wales and Victoria are working together on containing them. There are over 500 firefighters trying to control the major fire on the Great Ocean Road I think this is going to be a difficult fire season.
