Hi thomas, sometimes all this technology stuff gets to me too. Especially because there is no vacation and it is so terribly real all of the time, even when I try to forget about it, like a shadow following me everywhere. Sometimes just letting loose with what is bothering you is necessary just to free up some space for the positive energy to flow in again. Sometimes I think about what it was like to walk out of the door and not have to think about much more than grabbing the keys to the car. Now there is a lot more "stuff" to my life than I ever expected. Sorry that you are having a hard time with your insurance. Sometimes the costs of all this can weigh heavy on a person's mind, that is for sure.

Hi lotsofshots thanks for the words and the thought behind them. I think about the parts of being diabetic that I despise and right after that comes profoundly felt appreciation for the tools that I resent the need for. I'm not a bitter sour sort of person for which I am grateful. Grateful for so very much. I think it is important to recognize and acknowledge the funky way we feel so as to not spend a bunch of energy trying to not feel a way we do. Chronic disease, an old ad for Geritol used to say"if you have your health you have everything" But somehow I don't feel like I'm sick, don't feel as if I am one of the people with a chronic condition, flu shots and such. Thank you for giving a dog a loving home, Brings a smile to my face to think about Mr. Qua,sleeping on the floor in what we call his dog cave.Stuff to be grateful for, dogs are one for sure

Don't forget to itemize batteries, glucose tablets, alcohol swabs etc. under medical for 2011 tax. Anything you buy to care for your medical condition is tax deductible-even cab ride to app't and parking fee (save receipt and clip to medical app't)
