Wow, that was fast. Today, I learned that a cup of fat-free half and half is 143 calories, whereas a cup of peanut butter is 520 calories. Which means eating half a bowl of sugar free, fat free pudding is about 143 calories, whereas eating half a batch of flourless peanut butter cookies is only […]

On the one hand, feeling neutral is so great. There are no gigantic emotional swings, no depression, no pressing need to do do do go go go, no crazy sugar-swinging hysterics. On the other hand, it’s kind of annoying that I find it difficult to get worked up over much of anything when I go
Too long. By about half an hour. A typical problem with summer movies. Also had one too many bad guys (why do they ALWAYS try and pack a *another* one in at the end instead of fleshing out the one they have?). Extra bad wasn’t necessary, as Ledger’s joker was terrifying enough. Not a happy
Red Sonja (will anyone ever make a kick-ass warrior woman without making a point of saying she has a “vulnerable” side? Did they make a point of saying that Bale was a great, dark, brutal Batman but also had a “vulnerable” side? Is this really a superhero selling point?). But aside from that, yeah, sweet

You know, just seeing how much insulin I have to take just to stay under 300 because the pump’s fucked and basal’s not working, I have to say that I’m reducing my, “I could live for at least 3 days without insulin after the apocalypse!” to “I’d be lucky to make it 24 fucking hours.”
Had my first pod failure this morning when I went to switch out my omnipod. I’d read about this in the omnipod forums – apparently 1 in 7 actually fail out of the box. The good news is that this is supposed to mostly happen immediately, as soon as you put it on. I kept
…and it’s going to stay that way for at least another year. On the one hand: kind of depressing. On the other hand: this is what you get when you cross wild, roaring 20s with chronic illness and job layoffs: A year of boring suck. Ah well, I’m making the most of it. And the
