A Meeting, a Snowman - - - and high blood sugar, damn it

Today was the actors' agency's monthly meeting and it went really well - three possible new members interviewed and all of them offered membership.

Olli and Gareth built a rather superior snowman.

And I ate:

porridge

a croissant (this was lunch as I'd been shopping and there wasn't much time before the meeting)

a chocolate digestive biscuit (yes, just the one)

an apple

a banana

Chilli con carne - - made with minced beef, tinned tomatoes, onions, baked beans (we prefer them to kidney beans) plus frozen peas, and wholegrain brown rice

an orange

six lychees

AND I remembered to take my tablets. And although the croissant and the chocolate digestive weren't exactly good, my diet could be a helluva lot worse. So it doesn't seem fair that now, just before I go to bed, my blood sugar is 13.9, does it? Sighhhhhhhhhhh. The one good thing is that I felt like cooking tonight, and made a huge pan of chilli and froze some - - which is great because in recent months I've often felt queasy at teatime - probably due to the tablets, so perhaps I've finally got used to them.
