This has been a really fast Saturday. Where did the time go? And, of course I haven't gotten much done that I had planned to do!
Hubby got up at the crack of dawn this morning and I stayed in bed until 8:15. Of course, he was ready to go back to bed. I asked if he had eaten anything since he is diabetic and he said yes, I fixed myself something to eat.
I went about looking some items up online to get more information on them and was waiting on the LSU football game to come on at 11 am. Around 10 am I hear him calling me to please come here. I went to the bedroom and asked what was wrong. He said blood sugar crash. When I looked at the program on his phone the reading was under 40! That is an extreme crash.
I got him a glass of orange juice to sip on while I grabbed a yogurt for him. I had some bacon frying on the stove so had to turn it. It was good that I had a little protein on him already. I was planning a brunch to tide us over to getting lunch with the game on. He asked for a banana after I told him I had bacon on and it would be ready in just a few minutes and that I would fry him a couple of eggs too.
His blood sugar took a long time to come up because it was so low. He sat in the den and watched a bit of television and the beginning of the football game. Our team was not playing well so he decided that he felt good enough to go piddle outside a bit.
All is well with his blood sugar now and our team pulled off a win. I'll be tagging items for the antique store tonight and tomorrow. We have plans for Monday! How was your Saturday?

I hate when my blood sugar crashes. I always feel miserable the next day. When it's that low, it can take a while. Glad he's okay now. As for me, Walmart and mcdonolds.

Alabama won, did Notre Dame win, they should have, just Louiseville. I was watching baseball. LSU, Missouri was good, damn did not know my home state was that good this year. They blew it but that is OK, was fun for minute.
I am glad you there looking out for hubby and smart to also look for stuff he likes maybe like LSU football, they say that things that make people smile help people's heath so much.

I had to laugh at your comment of me looking out for stuff the hubby would like!! He is not much of a sports fan at all! I'm the sports nut here! He tolerates it! And he better continue because he gets control of the remote for most of the week!!
What state is your home state??

Being from a college town, it is just a natural. Then I went to work for LSU in 1988 and that hooked me even more! Then I got several freelance writing assignments in Sports for LSU and dug in even more. I ended up covering a couple of NFL teams as well. Miss those days!!

@allknowing I am retired and do what I want to do now. Everyone told me I would be bored when I retired. I told them no way and I have made sure I'll never be bored!! Too much to do and too much to see!!

@kareng You are still in harness. I gave up working years ago and after the pandemic I am used to just staying at home but I like it that way now.
