Giving up on facebook

(Aimee Moisa) #1

Just wish we could talk about non-keto related stuff here cause I don’t have elsewhere to talk about things like the LEGO I just bought or the shelves I just built.

On a keto note, I just got my keto mojo and have spent the last couple hours pricking my finger. It is amazing I am not asleep yet, maybe it doesnt work with lancets and I need to use a spinning wheel. I have one of those, maybe I should try it.

Anyway, it looks like I dont get the dawn phenomenon, and that my morning coffee doesnt raise my BG either. :slight_smile:

My waking BG was 94, and it was about 95 for the next two hours before and after my high-cream espresso.

Talk about whatever you want, doesn’t bother me. I can’t say I relate to Lego at all, my only experience has been stepping on it at 3am when my son was young and I tried to creep downstairs in the night to get a drink…

There’s few groups I bother with on Facebook. Too many preachy people who give and advice while being convinced their way is the only way, and I’m careful with my friends list too, my block list is extensive as I’ll block anyone who I see being nasty to someone else as I just don’t need that kind of nastiness around me.

That reminds my of my issue with dyxlexia and becoming a blood donor. It turns out they wanted to prick my finger.

Seriously though, I was a full believer in blood donation, and had over 100 donations of whole blood before I had someone else’s heart attack several years ago and they disqualified me. Statins and an 81mg aspirin daily.

Keto Connect’s 9 at 9 videos on IG are just 9 minutes long but it has still taken me 2 hours just to get through the first two mimutes cause my kid and husband wont let me have 9 effing minutes of me time no matter how many times I ask, “please, it is a short video, please let me watch it.” “Sure, ok, no problem. We will let you watch it.” I wait a minute to make sure they are on to other things but as soon as I click play it’s “I want candy” “Where’s the coffee?” “I wanna play minecraft” “What are our plans for the day” “I can’t find my riding boots” “What can we eat for breakfast”. sigh

And now they wonder why I just blew up at them asking them to leave me alone. I couldnt even write this short comment without interruption. This is why I spend all my time with my family with my face in my phone. It is not because I am doing a lot on the phone and ignoring my family, it is because it takes me hours to do one ten minute thing that I dont want to give up on.

ouch!!

@ladylyssa I would calmly respond with something like, “yes in a few minutes, but first I want to watch this” and just keep repeating it until you get to the end of it. Won’t work instantly, but keep with it and stay strong, they will eventually learn to give you that time.

@Regina yes very ouch, those little bricks hurt like crazy, especially when you’re half asleep.

You need a thicker soul. :wink:

Sorry, I had to make the sole/soul joke.

Creeping around the house at 3am in bare feet is never a good idea :joy:

I’ve been losing it on my kids all this week for this exact reason. Can’t watch a video, can’t make a quick recipe, can’t make a post.

I’ve stopped reading books for this very reason. I get what I like to call “book rage”. I’m trying to get into the plot of some other reality and the little monsters keep bringing me back. I lose my shit. So now its audio books in the car only :frowning:

Anyway, I love Lego. I tried getting the girls more into it but alas. I’d love to do the whole Harry Potter set, but I don’t know what I’d do when I was finished with it.

My son is 22 and has been with his dad since he was nine (not my choice, but that’s another story), so any bits of Lego I found around the house after that been stored as treasures.

If it’s any comfort, cats don’t give any peace either. I like to be able to hide myself away in my gym (spare bedroom) to do yoga / weights / mediation / whatever but always end up with one or other of them scratching at the door crying.

My son chose to live with dad at 11… he’s 15 now and I have premature empty nest syndrome. I carry one of his little LEGO men in my purse at all times

@Mangusdog This is what you do with your LEGO once you have built your sets. Most of those at this time are Minecraft.

And I am getting the Hogwarts Castle when it comes out in four weeks.

Wanna come over and play at my house?

#14

We didn’t have Legos when I was growing up; we had Lincoln logs. But I could get into Lego w/ the Harry Potter themed ones!

#15

I thought they already had Hogwarts castle. I’m jealous!

(Aimee Moisa) #16

There was an older HP series, but they came out with a new one.

#17

I miss playing legos with our boys! They loved Bionicle too. Neither were fun to step on during the day or middle of the night. One of our best vacations ever included a trip to Legoland in CA. The boys loved it there (way more than Disneyland).

(Aimee Moisa) #18

I love Legoland. But it is very painful, I spent way more money there than at Disneyland. LOL

My 11yo has been bugging out about the new Harry Potter sets - the 4 of us are massive fans and he keeps suggesting that I get some or my partner gets some for our upcoming birthdays. He’s very altruistic, thinking only of us…

Ha! When we buy LEGO there is no illusion about who it belongs to. It is all mine ALL MINE!!! Bwahahaha!
