For D Art Day 2012!

Ketchup :)

First of all, the title has nothing to do with the post... Well it does, but it's a bad pun. Ketchup = Catch up? Sorry :)

So anyway, I have been crazy busy with school stuff so I might not be blogging every other day like I did last year. But I will definitely try for 2 times a week, at least one being a "big" post. I got my laptop, and I took a ridiculous video with weird costumes that are on my webcam.. Singing "Insulin Maybe" lol. I just downloaded my camera too, and I changed the blog with some pix.

Diabetes-wise, I am planning for diabetes art day (Yeah September 24!!!!!) . I am definetly considering doing a post along the lines of pump-hiding :) And maybe school+diabetes. (READ: High school and a pump means super easy, fast, and convenient!)

Since I finally uploaded pictures, had to put this :) See you soon!

Puppies, Programmers and Lancing Devices.

Three things:

Puppies.
I saw a story earlier about a girl who was dxd and her puppy really helped her. I almost cried because that's a lot like me. My dog Emma is a beautiful, amazing yellow lab. I have seriously fantasized about her since 4 years ago!!!!! Everytime my BGs are really messed up I will just think about her and smile :) Also she was born the day we think I went into DKA.

Programmers.
One of my top sources of views is some weird link. I clicked on it (I know, stupid move) and my antivirus said to leave now. I also have views from Germany (same site). So thanks a lot, German Programmers. Actually this kind of weirds me out.

Lancing Devices.
Also Puppy related. I have a Microlet 2 lancing Device with the Bayer Contour Meter,which looks like this. It makes these terrible noises that used to make me jump 2 feet every time I had to check my blood sugar. Last weekend my dog chewed it up... I had another one but it made me smile. Why? Because I felt like she had just tried to destroy diabetes. I know she was probably wasn't even aware it wasn't a toy, but whatever. At least it was one of those moments where I was thinking, "Haha on you, diabetes."

Getting Back to Life

I really want to go back to my regular life without diabetes... I and I will(with diabetes), but for now, here's what's changed...

• I get sort of stressed over eating sometimes. I'll have to decide exactly how much of what I want, and then wait 15 minutes, sometimes my family already ate or isn't ready and it's weird.
• When I go somewhere, I have to carry a bunch of stuff and watch the clock. Grr.
• Before lunch at school I have to go deal with (sorry!!!!!!) the school nurses before I can see my friends.
• I actually think about what I'm eating to count carbs, and it "scares" me into eating healthy. sometimes.
• My friends LOVE watching me check my sugar. They like how the blood zips up the test strip. And evaluating my numbers. And freaking out when they see the lancets.
• I have countless annoying diabetes jokes :)
