I am so sorry about the basement. For all that they did it certainly shouldn't have leaked again. I hope they take care of it well!
It sounds like you are doing well with your sugar levels. Keep up the good work! I agree, finger pricks are awful!
I fast a lot. I didn't know that about the liver and glucose resistance.
Have a good time with T and M and fun at the concerts. I hope your weekend goes well and that you don't get any more rain! That was a lot of rain to get all at once!
