Diabetes Blog – Happy-Medium.netHappy Hump Day everyone… I posted something like this years ago, and thought I would post this from earlier in the week, so you can see exactly the amount of shit I throw away when doing a site change for my insulin pump.
To be fair, not all of this goes to the landfill. I separate what I can for recycling.
Still, it’s a lot.
And please don’t say anything about my dirty placemat…
Just to prove you’re not safe from pump distractions anywhere, including the garden…
I’m pretty sure a garden gnome is responsible. Maybe even the Buck Showalter Garden Gnome.
Also: those heirloom cherry tomatoes in my right hand must have been developed by a terrorist, ‘cause they’re the bomb.

I was in Brussels, waiting to board the train back to London. Already through the UK Border checkpoint, most everything on the other side was Great Britain focused.

I am so busy right now, I don’t have time to write much at all. So today, I’ll share a few photos from last week, when The Great Spousal Unit and I traveled with her dad and his wife (and her brother) to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Blackwater is home to one of the largest groups of nesting bald eagles on the east coast. We saw a few bald eagles, but I couldn’t really get a good photo of one, though there is one of an eagle off in the distance drying his wings after diving into the water for a fish. It was a great day, and we enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife. Here’s a look:
Here’s your eagle. Sorry I couldn’t get anything closer.
Happy Wednesday!
I’ve got the day off today. After checking my desk drawer before I left yesterday, I realized I need to take a little time to get replacements for the juice boxes I’ve been going through lately. And maybe some peanut butter crackers. Maybe some candy too.
