This past week, I feel like I’ve been surrounded by nothing but numbers. I’ve been working on some survey data at work. I’m pretty good at it, but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t make my brain hurt. On Wednesday, I looked down at my odometer on the way to dinner and I noticed my car hit an important milestone … click to read more –>
Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I had a great day and it was fun to see all the notifications rolling in. The “party” started this weekend as some friends and I drove across the state for some chocolate and shopping. As someone said to me today when I described my plans – “road trips are fun no … click to read more –>
What’s the phrase? The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. ~ 2 Timothy 1:7
I hope I won’t end up like the mice in Kim’s diabetes research studies, but I am seriously considering participating in an upcoming study through my endocrinologist’s practice. I got a flyer in the mail a few days before my doctor’s appointment last week advertising the study. The only requirement listed was that you have Type 1 diabetes and manage … click to read more –>
I have to call in tonight after 5 pm to confirm, but it is a good possibility that I will have jury duty tomorrow. Before I was diagnosed I had jury duty once in California, but it was the call-in type and I never had to appear.

I went for a walk this weekend. A long walk – diabetes-wise – at over 3.5 miles. Long enough to need some supplies. My DexCom receiver apartment keys True2Go meter (smallest meter/lacing device I own) tube of glucose tables When the weather is nice and my laundry is done, I typically wear basketball-style shorts with big enough pockets to carry … click to read more –>
First of all, I hope your weather has been as good as mine this winter. Otherwise, please just enjoy this picture. Secondly, I had the best “dinner” a few nights ago. I was practicing for my award-winning lip sync performance through dinner, so I was desperate for food later that night. There is a chain called Miller’s Ale House that … click to read more –>
I wish I could describe this weekend in a way that would make sense to anyone else. It was basically a gigantic competition at my work. And by gigantic I mean there were battles in Jenga, Chinese Checkers, soccer, football, Catch Phrase, ultimate frisbee, table tennis, a dance off, and just about any other game you can imagine. I represented … click to read more –>
I am admittedly not always the best at it, but any time I find myself trying to decide what to do in a certain situation I try to remember this passage. Call it karma, call it the golden rule, call it whatever you want, just consider it. Give, and it will be given to you. Your gift will return to … click to read more –>
