I haven’t been very happy with my blood sugar readings lately.

They’ve been really high, and I’ve been trying my best to get them down to a more reasonable level.

So here are my list of alternatives, what I can and should do to get my blood sugar under control.

1. Drink more water.
2. Exercise more regularly.
3. Test my blood sugar regularly.
4. Change my diet and make sure I am eating the right foods.
5. Eat regularly, and often.

Doing these things I am pretty sure I can make the changes necessary to see results.

Ocean playlists 
wave after wave
salt on my lips
a song to crave

Jasmine forests
drawing shapes
with charcoal pencils
from memory lanes

Mercury moonlight
marks my mirror
notching up nights
to go before I sleep

Sights and smells
in sepia tones
still line up and hope
to take the place of you

Think of a situation in your life you are not happy with.

I’d like a do over please;

A government in power who thinks about its people

A regime which allows people to say what true and right

No chains on the pen no locks on the tongue

Someone honest with no interest in making money

People at the helm of power who are kind and God fearing

No bigotry or racism, no bias on any basis

I would like a do over please

Moving to another country is not an option for me

I love my people and want to stay in my place of birth

I’d love to be treated with dignity and respect, whoever I may…

Paranoia (?)

Horror stories of abuse and violence against women have been lurking around since time immemorial.

Abuse could come in many forms. The most rampant and the one that I’ve been very vocal about is the abuse in the form of sexual assault or we gravely call it as rape.

I don’t think I need to go graphic in order for us all to understand what rape is. But for the sake of discussion, it is defined by the dictionary as “a type of sexual assault involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without their consent.”

The key word is “consent“. Consent is giving permission for something to happen. A sexual act without consent is “rape,” it’s that simple, basic. NO IS NO. NO MEANS NO.

But why is a woman’s no becomes so weak when spoken to…

One of the reasons we ended up on the boat from 2014 to 2017 was because house prices were getting away from us, and buying a narrow boat was a better alternative than renting somewhere.

Something went wrong when this phrase is uttered, making you an unhappy camper, agitated, disappointed, discontent, displeased, dissatisfied, frustrated, or unfulfilled.  Computer problems tend to make me unhappy and basically any type of waiting that seems to be wasting my time will upset me.  The thing that really gets to me most is hackers, as I feel that they are the scum of the earth.  A hacker would never appologize for making money by stealing your passwords, accessing your bank or credit card details, holding your information for ransom, or selling your data to other hackers that are on the dark web.  I wonder if Chatbots will become the new hackers exploiting a weakness in everyone’s computer system, so they can be used for malicious purposes.  I look at hackers as being intelligent people that just seem to be too lazy to get a real job, but I think that they also…
