Type 1'stars R Us

Eurghhh I had a rubbish night and I think I only have myself to blame.

Naw, it's diabetes you have to blame, not yourself!

@helensaramay Sending you a hug, I’m glad you are okay now. I’m interested in this so called hop bone, I’m currently looking at a skeleton diagram looking for it. If you want us to throw diabetes into a dust bin, we can help

Morning all, am I last on parade?

@ert - I can’t add much to what the others have said, but wanted to wish you a good day for tomorrow.

@MeiChanski - I’ve bought so much stationery... Paperchase is my downfall!

@helensaramay - autocorrupt caught you again, I see? Sounds like a miserable night, hope things even out today.

Did a pod change last night and the flippin’ thing wouldn’t pair with the RileyLink, this happens sometimes. Normally I sit on it to block the radio signal and hit the “deactivate” button on my phone, and restart the pairing process. This has always worked, but last night the pod started screaming. There is a tiny hole on the back you can insert something pointy to shut it down, which I was able to do. Some people put them in the freezer until the battery dies, or smash them with a hammer. I’ve been tempted to shoot them So I too have wasted a patch pump. I was able to hoover the insulin out of it and start a new one, but it feels so wasteful.

Off to Sainsburys in a bit, as they have vegan Quorn ham slices on special offer, and I rely on those for packed lunches. I’ve got an introductory day at uni tomorrow, and they’re giving us a £5 lunch voucher, but I’m taking food just in case. And I’m available for supply teaching the rest of the week, so need to be prepared!

I love paperchase
Wh smiths use to be my favourite but the last couple of years, they didn’t have anything that caught my eye. Muji is my favourite for their simplistic stationery. Online shopping is even better for stationery from overseas.

I think we'd make a nice type 1 stationery club, anyone into calligraphy? I got some Japanese brush pens for it.

I have gone and mislaid my mobile, I had it this morning, late morning, scanned my sensor, then had a quick look at email notifications before I went for out for a walk in the lovely sunshine.............. when ready to go, could I find the phone, nope and I have looked and looked, rang it from my home phone but no noise ( even though it was not on silent this morning) I need it to keep in touch with my daughter who is on holiday, or she will be panicking !) I will continue to look a little later on.

In the meantime, ask a neighbour to send her a message not to worry. Or ask someone through e-mail or facebook to do that.

Thanks @Antje77 done that

Going out for another walk to think of the last time I had the mobile...................

 

[MeiChanski]

So I made coffee ice cubes to see if it's quicker to make a beverage that way and I think I quite like it.

Found it I left it where my passport was ( I needed it for a railcard ID) so I text my daughter straight away, all's well then ends well.

Probably the last to the party today.
@ert, I’m feeling cross with your HR - they’ve increased your difficulties! Have they read the Equality Act? They’re adjustments are most certainly not ‘reasonable’, although ‘reasonable’ is a horrid carpetbag word.
Yes, I agree, have a word with your coworkers and get their reactions of you injecting near them. If they’re needlephobic then ask what warning they’d need. I’ve yet to meet anyone who minds me injecting and am happy to do so in cafes, while walking on a busy street, in shops, at bus stops, on the train . . If there are people close I ask if they mind. None have said they do.

Had a lovely day, met older daughter and new pooch at the pet supplies where a harness was fitted for walks. Poor little pooch was worried by all the people and the strange place but she knows me now so I hope I was a calming presence.
Then I went to the harbour and booked attempt number 2 birthday boat trip. On 21st of this month, so watch the forecast - will probably be tide surge and hurricane.

My block had a brief power cut, now sorted.

You know you're a T1 when the first thought you have during a power cut is, "how much charge is on my phone, don't want to lose my cgm...."

Or how the heck long will this last, Will insulin stored in the fridge retain its strength.

When you’re getting stationery and stuff ready to start uni, and an offer from the Assay Office to send you a high res jpeg of your makers mark coincides with the acquisition of a vinyl cutting machine...

I'd be like Joey from Friends munching everything from the fridge because the fridge stopped working.

Having once carted insulin in a backpack round Asia for 6 months without it ever seeing a fridge, that aspect wouldn't be troubling me too much!

Pics of the harbour seem to have duplicated, new post needed
