Like Owner Like Dog

Hello people of the internet

Getting round to doing this a bit earlier this week. So recently I've notice how similar my dog and I are and I went to do a bit of research for this so I google dogs like their owners and this came up:

Anyway my dog is tall, blonde and an idiot,like me. We have far too many similarities such as both getting very excited over everything. Though for Milly, the dog so we're clear, it's more about the doorbell which I have to say is not the highlight of my day.

We also love food! Honestly I care more about food than my figure and that I see as a good thing. I have a pretty bad diet but I do a fair bit of exercise, hockey 2-4 times a week and then running on top. Milly will eat anything and everything that she can get her hands on.

 Therefore it could be twisted that we both quite like exercise. Milly runs laps on the walk, just constantly sprinting backwards and forwards.

However there are obviously major differences between me and my dog. I personally don't think that chasing tennis balls is the best fun in the world. I used to play tennis though so I guess you could call that a similarity rather than a difference.
Milly is scared of everything that moves. Not even things that are bigger than her but everything that's not alive, and even things that are, and smaller than her. No joke she will stop and refuse to move if a small dog walks up to her. She is genuinely terrified of them,she has no reason to be one swipe of her paw would knock them over. Other things shes scared of include:pieces of paper, dog toys, cushions, her own bed and of course like every other dog the hoover.

So basically I'm a lot like my dog and I'm not sure it's a good thing.

She looks so serious and chilled in this but she's not like this often.

Crappy D

Hellooo people of the Internet

Okay so the past 24 hours have been crap diabetes wise...

It all started when I woke up on Thursday morning. I thought that I was meant to do a set change around then, I'm either really good and remember exactly when I'm meant to change it all or completely forget and leave it too late. Anyway I woke up and checked how many units of insulin I had left and it was 26. That to me was cutting a bit fine but was probably okay. So through out the day I constantly checked Phil and ended up getting home from college with less than one unit left. Oops! So I changed it all and went off to hockey.

We started training and about ten minutes into the ninety minute session someone goes "Rhona, you know your legs bleeding?" Glancing down at my leg, I kid you not, it looked like a small animal had been murdered on it. There was blood all over it. My sites have ripped out before and ones that have been bad often bleed a lot but this one bled a beautiful trail all the way down to just below the knee. To make it worse I hadn't even noticed, if someone hadn't pointed it out I would have got into the car to go home and wondered why I felt so high. 

By the time I got home my sugar levels were 20mmol which were high but not high that I was worried. So for the second time that day I put a new site in and carried on. By the time I went to bed I was 15.4mmol and I happily went to sleep thinking I'd come down fully overnight.

Eight o'clock this morning I got up did a blood test 22.7mmol! What the fudge?! There was no reason to still be this high. I came down to 18.3mmol so assuming the ridiculous amount of insulin I had administered would bring me down nicely I went out for my driving lesson. An hour later I felt like I'd run a marathon, I was so tired. So we cut the lesson short and went home to find my sugars were 20! Still high. Apart from that slight dip as I went to bed I had been hovering around 20 for 14hours. 

So for you non diabetics out there being high is crap but being high for such a prolonged period of time is exhausting. I'd slept for at least eight of those fourteen hours and I'd felt like I hadn't slept a wink. I eventually came down to 9mmol in the middle of my English lesson so we're all good now.

Brownies

Hello people of the Internet
So a few weeks ago I discovered this life changing recipe. Unfortunately it hasn't made me a better person it's probably only made me fatter. It's a brownie in a mug. It is a single serving of cake that takes all of five minutes to make. Do you understand how incredible that is? FIVE MINUTE CAKE! So I thought I would share this incredible recipe so other people can get fat too.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup of flour
1/4 cup of sugar (adjust to what you fancy less or more both work if you're so inclined)
2tbsp butter (I've started melting this first but I think it would still work if you didn't)
2tbsp Cocoa powder
Milk (enough to make it cake mixture like)

Method:
Put all your ingredients in a mug and stir until cake mixture like (technical term I know)
Cook in the microwave for 1min and then 10 second intervals to it's cooked to your standards. For me 1m 30s seems pretty perfect.

To make it even worse I've been adding a rather large spoonful of nutella on top and letting that melt, things like chocolate chips would work to. I've become slightly addicted to it, to the point where I've had three in as many days, gasp. I hope you lot enjoy this as much as I do, I did some tweaking to that recipe to make it perfect for my tastes.
