    When goodbye is a must

    rainbows 033

    It’s unbelievable how attached I have become since our meeting in 2006, how can I not be since you boost my life in ways no one or nothing else have been able to do. I search my memory and I am unable to come up with a single bad memory to blame directly on you, as a matter of fact you did aid in making some experiences priceless.

    Remember the time we woke up at dawn, drove from Vancouver to Sea-Tac, to catch our flight, the screener mistook you for a phone and ended up patting us down, but we still made it to Maryland just on time for thanksgiving dinner?

    The weekend we spent in San Francisco, we said we would go back someday because we had so much fun. We walked everywhere, remember the hills and the fun we had during diner at the Cheesecake Factory

    Our long plane ride to London UK and how you helped me during the nasty cold I picked up on the plane. You made spending time at Lego land and the Windsor picnic fun - oh London Eye was amusing, no wonder it was lit in blue during world diabetes day.

    The drive to Portland would not be the same without you.

    I tear up thinking about our countless trips south of the boarder to Trader Joe’s

    The half marathon we ran together — not forgetting the Grouse Grind trips

    I truthfully do not know what I did to hurt you - I’M SORRY

    Some people may think you are just an Insulin Pump but to me you are more than that.

    My insulin pump has a crack that extends from the battery cap disappearing briefly underneath the black rubber strip then making its way towards the display screen. I am not sure how or when this happened.

    Whenever I see the crack it feels as if my heart is cracking

    Just a test!

    I am having problems logging onto my blog. Testing to see if I can publish via Live Writer.

    oh what a night

    A view from my bed

    Here is to hoping and praying that I sleep, as much as I love the view from my bed pictured above, I truly do not want to stare at it tonight as I did last night.

    I spent most the evening setting up my Eee PC to my liking satisfied and feeling accomplished I retired to bed, watch a few seconds of the nightly news before the TV was turned off and I was in dream land.

    Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Around - 1am I was awoken by the yearning to drink water, need to pee and an awful feeling in my mouth made worse by my retainers.

    The high blood sugar reading confirmed the symptoms, correction insulin was delivered and it was back to bed in a few short minutes. Sleep eluded me I contemplated some mindless late night TV or Internet time before deciding to just be still.

    I was surprised when my insulin pump beeped alerting me it’s been two hours since the correction bolus Blood Sugar now in perfect range however sleep divorced me.

    Weekend past!

    We got snow this weekend and it felt just like Christmas, Saturday morning I was awoken by my sister saying - Look outside!

    Snow This view from the bedroom window greeted me - the snow was actually sticking but it did not stop me from going out to get this little baby. Eee PC 

    It was love at first sight so much so that my Dell Inspiron was a little jealous and started to act out while I was backing up my data. I had to assure my primary laptop that it’s is not being replaced it’s just getting a little sibling.

    The rest of the weekend was spent making this stew and my sister baked spiced pumpkin bread - Delicious
