Health
I am a few weeks into my journey of having diabetes. I have stopped taking any medication now as it was not agreeing with me. Although, I do check and record my sugar levels twice a day. My husband showed me how to record them on my phone which is great. So far my levels are not too bad, so am hoping I can continue without being on medication. I will find out next week when I see my GP.
College Is Out
C should be finishing college for the year this coming Friday. As all her exams have finished she only had her animal care lessons to go in for. Last Thursday she was in for one lesson and came out early as she had been signed off. So proud of her as she got signed off with distinctions. A course trip to Chessington on Friday and she is done for 10 weeks.
Friday I dropped her at college, and she was coming home from Chessington as we live very close. She messaged me saying she couldn’t cross the road. On goes my shoes and I start to walk down the road asking her which side of the road she was on. For those who do not know Chessington World of Adventures there is a back way out. Which is down a side road and quite dangerous. There is no path either, so there I am walking up there jumping onto the grass verge on the side dodging traffic. I finally found her and marched her the right way out.
She needed this break she has been struggling with her illness even more lately. We are now waiting on her GCSE results.
The Chirpster Plus One
This cute looking budgie, wastes so much of my time. She is such a Cutie and so funny. Her favourite game at the moment is wrestling with one of her toys. She gets hot so can only come out of her cage for short periods and then back in with the fan on which she loves.
I let her out of her cage about an hour ago and she hopped on my hand. Looked cute and chatted away and then chowed down on my hand, then looked cute again. She is starting to say a few words now as well, which of course we can not get on video.
New Addition
We should be getting this little Cutie next week. We have a new flight cage so we can hopefully have them both in the same cage once introduced. Not sure if boy or girl yet, but is one of chips siblings. Chirpster is called Piplup (I think that is how it is spelt) from Pokemons. C calls her Pippy for short, I call her chirpy.
We can not find a name for this one, which is pale blue and grey. If you can come up with some suggestions, please share.
Muse
We travelled to Milton Keynes on Sunday too see Muse in concert. Wow, it was amazing, it was a show with so many surprises. If you can get to see them you will not be disappointed. I have a couple of pics on my Instagram and so many videos to share still.
Giveaways
Our little budgie terrorises our dog. It is such fun to watch. Kobe (dog) goes up to her cage and she has long conversations with him.
Our dog keeps trying to make friends but she is having none of it
It’s always so good to read about your experiences. That bird looks really so cute. That Muse concert looks interesting.
The chirpster is mad and wastes so much of my time, going to be fun with the new one. Muse was amazing
Beautiful experiences! The budges are such cuties. The one you are getting soon looks so amazing.
The new one is chirpys sibling, hopefully getting today or tomorrow
A great way to kick off the summer break with a Muse concert! It looked like great fun too…love the energy and crowd!
It was a great way to start the summer, apparently there was 65000 people there
I am glad that C’s exams are over now and college too. Wow, Muse would be amazing to see live, I am a little jealous!
We are as well, she was struggling at the end, Muse was amazing
It’s good that you’re actively monitoring your sugar levels and staying in touch with your doctor. Wishing you the best in managing your diabetes journey.
Thank you I seem to be doing ok so far
Your budgie is adorable! I’ve never had birds before; she sounds like a cutie. Glad to hear that things are managing well with your diabetes.
She is a cutie but being so naughty at the moment
Hope your new addtion settles in well,they’ll be so cute together
We should be getting her next week
Muse sounds great. Good you managed to get off tablets and handy you can track on phone.
They were amazing and definitely want to see them again
Onward and upwards with diabetes- I too have issues with medication side effects so rarely take any
I feel so ill on the medication so refusing to take it
I love the name Piplup. I’m a big fan of Pokemon so was delighted to hear the little menacing Chirpster is called Piplup. Suits her a lot. What about Togepi for her sibling? I know she’s not a bird yet but she. evolves into a flying Pokemon.There is also Swablu but the name isn’t as cute I think. I’m sure whatever name you pick it’s going to be cute and well thought out.
C had to show me Piplup as I had no idea, one of her friends said to look at Pokemon again.
Can’t wait to find out what name C chooses. Please keep us updated 🙂
We do have a name, I am building the new cage today and we get her either today or tomorrow
Massive congratulations to C on her Animal Care grade! The Muse concert looks fab!
Thank you so proud of her, the concert was amazing
It sounds like you’ve had quite a eventful week with various highlights like your health journey, your daughter’s accomplishments, the adorable budgie, and the Muse concert. It’s great to see you sharing these personal experiences with your readers. Keep up the good work!
Thank you it was a busy week
I’m sorry to hear your daughter has been struggling so much lately. Hopefully, the results give you the answers you need and she has a restful, rejuvenating break.
She is suffering this week but nice for her to just do nothing
These cupcakes omg not only do they look delicious, they’re soooo cute and the presentation is out of this world!!!
