PORT ALBERNI ADVANTAGE!!!!

 I got a dm from my lawn person Jonathon Joe.  He had gone fishing at five o'clock that morning before work....and he had sockeye to sell!  25 a fish!  And they were completely beautifully cleaned.  I bought two.  I cooked one up immediately for dinner.  We had a right pig out on it!  I cooked the other one tonight for fish tacos.  Delicious!!!  And this time there is a lot of leftovers!

And tonite I got another dm....two more fish!  And these ones were bigger, by quite a bit!  I think I shall freeze these ones and take them camping, if I can figure out how to keep them frozen.  I can cook them over the fire, if we can have fires.  If not I shall put them in Kathy's tiny freezer!  Hahahahaha!!!!

Well I signed into the Costco site tonight and went through the whole grocery part.  As I perused, I made a comprehensive list.  There are things I have been deprived of since leaving Kamloops and I am going to find room somehow for what I am going to buy on Thursday when we go. 

 The only drawback is finding a respirator that will fit Monte.  It has been a real problem through the whole pandemic.  He is a big guy.  Like, is he the only big guy in the world?  Anyway we shall play it by ear and see how it plays out.  It's always exciting to leave town!  And Ange is going with us so that should be fun!

She and I decided to dig out our garden out front today.  I went into the back under the stairs for my shovel, my precious jeep shovel, and someone had stolen it!  Bastards!!!!  There was no way we could do it without a shovel.  I called Jonathan and he is coming tomorrow to do the lawns and bringing a buddy that does that sort of thing and they will dig it out for us. Yay!!!!!!  Then we plant!!!

I have gone to town on my low carbing so I don't have to use insulin.  I am on day seven and I think I am going to have to cut out my metformin.  I go down to 2.9 so I eat something carby and it will come up to 3.5ish, but no matter what I do it doesn't come up higher.  I don't like how it feels.  You get all spacey and clammy.  Today I cut out the metformin and I still can't get it to come up.  I like to be 4.5 but it seems to be hard to keep it there.

The other thing is weight loss.  Now that is a bonus.  I am the lightest I have been since living in North Van.  But.....you see my scraggly skin!!!  LOL!!!  I am looking like an old lady now for sure.  Thank goodness it doesn't bother me!  And thank goodness for tights.  My jeans just fall off. It's amazing what cutting carbs can do.  If I can get rid of my type 2 diabetes it will def be worth it.

Well I have to go clean the kitchen, again.  Plus I need to get those two fish into the freezer.  And that's going to be harder that the kitchen cleaning!  Three freezers and all of them plumb full.  I think I am more like my mom than I think I am!!!!

Well stay safe folks and healthy.  Hug someone who needs it!  TTYL
