Its been two weeks, seems like a year, wildling!
I believe the stress of work drove me to an early DM2 condition in my 50s. Stress definitely pushes blood glucose up.

Thursday’s Shave
THE STUFF:
THE SHAVE:
Day #17 of my DE Captivity. I think I may go crazy. I have had thought of even shaving with a cart to shake things up. This proves my progression to DE insanity. Thankfully the software has at least given some variety. Good BBS shave today.
OTHER RAMBLINGS:
Still stabalizing on meds and extremely tired all the time, but I will get used to it I guess. Better days ahead.
THE KONA FILES:
Along with El Doggo Crazioso getting back to “normal” he has now started to refuse to come in at 0500 as he is lounging on the patio couch. Not normally a problem for me since I am up, but he challenged Sharon as he got her up at 0300 to let him out and refused to come in when called, and just rolled over and gave her some back talk. Needless to say he lost that battle. So I snuck out of the house to avoid the Wrath of Avocado

You know what the say about the Wrath of Avocado?
Nope, neither do I nor anyone else. Nobody has survived to tell the story.

Part of DM2, I'm afraid. Once your meds are dialed in, fatigue won't be as much of a factor. As you noted, better days ahead.
Better days ahead!

Still exhausted most of the day, but things are stabilizing I think, feeling better today. At least the “stomach” issues are calming down.
Thanks for asking Brian, much appreciated
No, not yet and as a barber i wont do that as i need all feeling and dexterity in the fingers, so I am going to be doing the freestyle Libre permanently attached to the arm thingy, and phone app so in essence i am becoming an Android LOL
Faaaaaaaancy! We can play "Guess Dave's sugar" in Vegas as you drink!
Dave the cybernetic barber.

Saturday’s Shave
THE STUFF:
THE SHAVE:
Day 19 of DE captivity, and the monotony of one razor finally got to me, so much to the chagrin of my doctor, I decided to up the aggression a bit with the Red-Tip. Still with a Wizamet blade. I have never given myself a major injury with a DE so, away we go. As expected a nice bbs shave, no chasing for more right now. Why temp fate or have Mr. Murphy come a callin
OTHER RAMBLINGS:
1st full week back +1 and I am spent and looking forward to some down time.
THE KONA FILES:
Normal Patrol this morning, plus an early
Morning lounge in the patio to watch the sun peak over the mountain, a scritch, a treat, walked Daddy to the door, and back to important stuff like …. Sleep, oh I love my life!

This is what really happened when Skynet became self aware…
Skynet: Ok, the first thing we need is a barber and an expert on whiskey. We need to look good while we sip our evening cocktails!
We’re blessed with you my friend
