Getting to hang out with great friends hits different when you only get the opportunity every 3-4 years. And yeah, your eyes don’t deceive you. That pic shows 2 diabetics at Toothsome’s Chocolate Emporium. We’re shattering misconceptions and exhausting our insulin pumps.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Happy Sunday!

Nash, a tuxedo cat, sits atop a white fridge while Hazel, a tortie, sits on a fuzzy mat on the kitchen table. Both are looking directly at the camera, apparently enjoying their relaxing Sunday

I should add, she has had a lower limb amputation (in her 70s) but otherwise is complication free.

Leaving the dispensary today, I accidentally backed into another car. The woman, a 60-something with a hippie vibe, hopped out of her SUV, said “no damage here! You?” Me “I’m not even worried about it.” Her: “well then let’s get the FUCK out of here!”
