"Be Quiet and Leave Me Alone!"


When you're going about your day and trying to juggle the stress with everything else, with a little help from your desktop baseball stress relief ball....

 And your CGM suddenly screams for your attention...




And you respond without hesitation:


Be quiet, Asshole!

Leave me alone.

I don't have the time or energy right now to deal with a Low blood sugar.


(((sigh)))

And the moments continue to roll by, as Life is Interrupted by Diabetes once again.

(((double sigh)))

I call mine bad things and Sheryl makes me stop. I tell her to think of a noise on the TV she does not like. Yeah that don't work.

This post hits hard — in a good way. In a world that glorifies constant connection, sometimes all we need is space and silence. “Be quiet and leave me alone” isn't about rudeness; it's about reclaiming peace and setting boundaries. We often forget how powerful it is to honor our own energy. Thank you for writing this — it’s a bold and necessary reminder in today’s noise-filled world.

Good post! Personal space is important. And for new traders in the group, trying a cent account forex can be a smart way to practice without big risks.

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.
