Diary February 2024, Tuesday 27th

 06 30 Wake up, check banking, calculate outgoing costs and available funds.

             Check class charts, review Jonathan‘s subjects today and consider anything he’ll need to take with him

Meal plan. 

Plan for today; Check under stairs cupboard for light, 

Add items used yesterday to shopping list, 

Hoover 

rubbish set up bin in the kitchen, recycle.

Consider new work Website and email for sole trader.

Challenges and barriers.

Donovan started an extra unit of yesterday checked to see how that’s going for his sugars.

For me, terrible stomach cramps and heavy bleeding.

0650 check LinkedIn and job web sites. Consider a LinkedIn post. Plan for today : Look for photo of sailing under spinnaker.

0700 get Jonathan ready for school. Prep his veg and fruit, check his sugars, make any calls necessary to diabetes team.0400 to  0700 sugars steady at 6.5. Midnight peak of 16.

0720 Disnfe t sinks and toilets, run dishwasher.

Look up swing sound bird. Couldn’t find it, ruled out, wren, nut hatch, and Bluejay.

0737 waved Jonathan off to school. Started to clean kitchen and collate recycling. I can’t put the recycling out just yet as I might encounter Dean, who will talk for a long time, so it’s best to wait till he goes to work. And then it’s best to let the children get to school from the other homes around so much nearer 9 o’clock will be a better time for putting the recycle outside in the recycling bins. I’ll make separate piles one for the purple liquid bin which is paper and card, one for general recycling.


0800 Checked Jonathan sugars. Rapid rise 12.5 ^^


This is worrying as he has just increased his long-term nighttime insulin by one unit to prevent the post breakfast rise. I will keep an eye on this today.

0814 Checked Jonathan‘s progress at school. The bus has just passed Great Ponton. It’s between great Ponton and Little Pompton and is leaving the A1 for Grantham..



0815 e mails. There are nearly 400 in my inbox. I want to get it down below 100.

10:00 leftovers for breakfast. They are pretty good. It’s cooked up, olives, mushrooms, pasta, and a white sauce with some cheese. It was dinner yesterday, and in itself was the using up of leftovers. The olives were three weeks past the best before, and the mushrooms were 12 days past the best before. Some of the cheese was leftover grated cheese. Everything else was in date, probably.

1030 downloaded Canva and started practising creating videos.  Rested a little Paris holiday video. Will try climate change next.

Letter arrived with results from clinic. Thyroid look borderline to me, and doctor misunderstood his symptoms. Jonathan is feeling the cold in a very warm home and has added FOUR extra blankets to his bed, as well as turning the thermostat to 27 when I’m not looking. It is on a constant 23. Day and night. Yet the doctors notes say he isn’t feeling the cold.

 Discussed thyroid with Jonathan when he got home , have agreed to see a go in the holidays as he misses enough school as it is for his other necessary medical appointments.

1700 cooked Jonathan dinner, calculated carbs. Some kind of horseplay with ‘women’ on the bus meant he came home with foundation on his hands and uniform. Washed his blazer straight away so it has a chance to dry overnight. Hung it up and turned it over to make sure it dries thoroughly before bed at 21:45.

Night.

Nerdy nitrogen

 The term "nerdy nitrogen" captures the multifaceted nature of nitrogen in science, highlighting both its essential roles in biological systems and the complexities of its chemistry and environmental effects "Nerdy nitrogen" is an informal and humorous term that often refers to the complexities and intricacies of nitrogen compounds and their roles in various scientific fields, particularly in environmental science and chemistry. Here are some key points about nitrogen and its "nerdy" aspects: Working with a client on their nitrogen problem I realised that nitrogen plays a major role in my life. Not withstanding that it’s 80% of the atmosphere, I realise I just can’t get away from the stuff. As a Chief carbon reduction Engineer one of my Missions Was to raise awareness and understanding of the science behind global warming. Regularly, I talked about atmospheric composition, About the roles of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the atmosphere. How carbon dioxide...

Ammonia

Image
  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
