Blogging Break
Not sure when I’ll be back, but for the two whole readers who come here regularly, do not despair: I am probably not dead.
The Day that Blew By
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

Zen
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
Dark Knight
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
Things to Look Forward To
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

Thoughts on the Pod

No more 5:30 am Lantus shot on weekends, in particular. 3) There is a handy bolus calculator that tells you how much insulin you’ve injected within the last three hours

Out and About
Still feeling too anti-social and tired to get out and about tonight. Hoping to at least go see a movie tomorrow. Now I am faced with the fact that I do not want to cook but do not want to go out and should not be spending money on carry out food. Pancakes and video
Home Again, Jiggety Jig
Came home, changed out to a new omnipod (I keep wanting to say ipod heh heh heh), cried for awhile. Tested at 35. Ate some graham crackers and cried some more. I hate being broken. I hate it more than anything in the whole world. I hate being dead already, just limping along with the

Sugar Death
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.”
Pod Failure
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
