Good morning coffees on. Cold as cold can be this morning. -20°F with windchill of -35°F. Broke down and put a heat lamp in the coop yesterday and made sure that the coop was sealed other that the vents.
Coffee anyone ?

May be a plus for you
Just glad it isn't what I worry about.And lots of veggies. Sorry to see you need to go the insulin route. Looking at your stats, you are a "big boy"
Even on the med diet eating -- which is a good, doable one -- I'm sure the nutritionist tells you to use low-glycemic foods. Portions? That is where most of us get into trouble. A 5 percent weight drop would probably assist with the numbers. I have the issue with low sugar and so, most often I eat like a diabetic to keep the levels stabilized. Graze all day. Small meals. I rarely eat out anywhere -- like fast foods. Of course, I CAN eat desserts but rarely bake anymore, so I don't "eat it all". That cake just calls "come get me!" from the counter. Yeah, more heavy cream!!
I can eat plain butter 
This morning I had some nice hot tea, vice coffee. I have always been a big tea drinker but, last year or so has been heavier with coffee.
I'm hungry so thinking I will go fry some bacon and have it on this heavily seeded bread I have in the freezer. May even fry up an egg....since the girls have begun blessing me with those again. 
Then, I have some work to get done & report today. This "brunch" will carry me for a while. Ahhhhhh, need to pick up some hay while I'm out. The list gets longer....Everyone have a great day!

Not so terribly cold here, 31 was the low but after 57 yesterday, it feels cold. Sun is out so won't be too bad as long as the wind lays. We are supposed to be 20's to 40's the next few days, but then a real cold snap next week, with 20's for the highs and single digits for the lows coming in about Wednesday? Some snow maybe on Tuesday before temps drop? I'm testing cows Sun eve and Monday morning.... don't want to be testing the end of the week if I can help it.
Oh well it is winter I keep telling myself....

BTDT and you know, -20° not counting wind chill, is just ridiculously cold. That's hibernation weather.

We are just hitting 40 at the moment. But was really cold feeding animals this morning.....doesn’t feel like a normal florida winter this year, it has been cooler.....but so much better than what others have endured so far this winter. Stay warm everyone

Next week they are predicting worse.... like -50....am assuming that's with the windchill... record lows EVER here in Northern Indiana. Am praying they are wrong.

Why Vietnamese? Just because you were there 50 years ago? How would they know?
Feeling for those of you in the -20°F (ish) temps. We are supposed to get much colder (27°F now) but not near double digits below. Closer to 0° but negative.

Sometimes I see ads in Japanese. I don't know why because I don't look at anything Japanese, not even Chinese.
