Good news - my blood sugar level lowered.

 I went to the hospital in high winds and checked my blood sugar level. The hemoglobin A1c was 6.4%, which was 0.8 lower than the previous month and the lowest in the past 12 months. The doctor changed the prescription from the previous month, and that seemed to have worked. I also had a preventive shot against influenza at the hospital. It took all morning, and the weather was bad with high winds, so I couldn't go out for a walk. Just outside the harber of Tomakomai, a big Mexican ship was driven ashore and is unable to sail.
