Never. Ever. Often. Always.

NEVER forget how much....



Your puppy loves you. Or how much love you should show each day. Just like you should never forget to test your blood sugars and take care of your diabetes.

But sometimes, it happens...

So, if you EVER forget to test or love your pup or kitten, just remember: You'll pay for it.

 With a sad, depressing look. Or a High or Low Blood Sugar.

Then, you'll have to play with puppy or test your sugars OFTEN to balance it out, using all the tools in the shed.

This will teach you to ALWAYS love your dog. To ALWAYS remember that you must take care of your diabetes. There isn't a break - that love and D-Care is always around. If you try to take a breather, there'll be more work and care needed in the end.

Of course, you may also learn another important lesson from someone who could have predicted how it all was going to turn out:



The Cat knew all along. Because the Cat is ALWAYS the smartest one in the room. No doubt.

So go on. Live, Laugh, Love as much as you need to - anywhere in between NEVER EVER and ALWAYS. Find your balance. And all will be right with the world.

That. Is. All. Happy Weekend.

Is that a lab or a lab mix? My sister has had three dog - lab mixes (with German Shepherd) in her lifetime. yes, she's a dog person... though all of them were sweethearts.

but yes, at the end of the day, cats know best. ha!

Lab mix. Think she has some border collie in her, but not sure. She's about 5 now. We adopted her from local Humane Society a few years ago. The cat, meanwhile, is 7 or 8.

Welcome to the End of the World?

Well, did anyone think this is what 2020 would look like? Global pandemic and worldwide public health emergency, everything shutting down and a potential economic collapse on the horizon. Holy fuck. ' A "Pandemic (in Quarantine) Playlist on my Spotify is now a thing, and my own remote worklife now in its 8th year has taken on an eeerie new spin. As are my watchlists full of dystopian and post-apocalyptic TVs and movies for streaming in these strange times. All of my work travel and conferences for the spring have been nixed, and we're all watching closely to see what the impact may be for summer events. What about my "underlying health condition" that is type 1 diabetes? So far, so good. No signs of anything astray. As I've shared over on DiabetesMine, I have been using the Tandem t:slim X2 device since mid-October 2019. That followed three-and-a-half years of Multiple Daily Dosing with pens and Afrezza inhaled insulin insulin. I starte...

A Writer's Pen

A writer carries a pen. That is the way it is. For as long as I recall, that's how it has been. Moments have appeared, of course, where that vow failed. Where I did not have a pen to write with. Where the pen was in my hand, but it didn't write. Moments in history are marked by the written word. Journalists know and live this truth*.... ( yes, truth matters. Facts matter. Alternate versions of both do not **.) ... [ the fact that we have to emphasize this in 2020-21 is ridiculous, but the reality exists ]. I carry a pen. Because I'm a writer. Because the written word matters. Because facts and details matter. Context is everything. Painting a picture with my words is what I've done, professionally and personally, for so long. Words have painted a picture, opened a portal into the heart and mind. I've read what others have written with their own pens, even if those pens aren't physical but mental and those words have materialized from digital tools. The idea of w...

Flapping the Gums

No time for my chatty-typing fingers to engage you today. I'm off to the dentist's office for a dreaded appointment. Thanks to the wonders of D-enduced periodontal disease, this should be a visit full of poking, prodding, pain, and likely some bleeding. Great times. Not looking forward to this visit. Or the next more painful one. I see soup in my future. Maybe Easy Mac. But, I digress. That's all fodder for a future blog post. In the meantime today, talk amongst yourselves. Flap those online gums in the blogging world. And remember to brush and floss.
