That’s about what I can cope with
The first (morning) reading, that is. The plummet to 136 (which seems to be a popular afternoon reading) is just too much. Then I forgot to do the evening one.
A good start
Then it all went downhill from there 🙁 I felt so awful in the afternoon. Second reading is before lunch again, third is after.
