Harry S. Truman

That name just came to mind, is all. It is 7:13 P.M. and I am currently watching "Jeopardy", chatting to one person in particular, and doing this. The latter for the first time in a long time. I can honestly say that I've missed doing this.

Only a few minutes until dinner, though I am not really that hungry due to the roast beef/ pastrami sandwich I had earlier. What a manwich of a sandwich, that...sandwich. Speaking of food, I had three bananas today! Yum. So you can legitimately say that I had a potassium-enriched day. K-day! (Chemistry periodic table wise, that is.)

I cannot believe that oysters is a category on this show. What is up with that? I would "complain" about how random it is, but that's the point of this show. Random, trivial questions pertaining to nothing anybody really cares or much less thinks about. That's what it's called trivia! Get it? Trivial, trivia? Cool, huh?
Yeah, not particularly, but it's a thought.

Over the summer, I developed a profound fondness for green grapes. And I am still totally into green grapes. They're so good and so...convenient. No peel, no seeds (for seedless grapes, that is), no hassle. This is the best kind of fruit for indolence. Besides bananas. But with bananas, you have to get up and throw away the peel post-consumption, which thus adds to the pile of waste, which accumulates in your garbage can and will be transported to the landfill, a land filled with waste, which, believe it or not, does contribute to global warming, which ultimately will perilously lead us to the end of the world as we know it. Although, whatever kind of world we have now is already highly destructive and corrupted, but hey, whatever, right? As long as you and I are still here reading and writing, respectively. Then it's all good.
Kind of, not really. I just felt like being weird, once again.

Today is Wednesday. Do you know what that means? Yesterday was Tuesday and tomorrow is Thursday. And here I was about to say Friday. Ah, Friday. Stupid mock scrimmage. Why?! Why this Friday of all days, huh? Gosh, it just has to happen when I already had something perfect planned. Gee.
Please pause for a commercial break as your wonderful hostess takes a hiatus.

Here I am again, at 9:16. Quite a long break, I know.

I discovered that I have much too much homework to do and that I am much too busy, so I have decided that I will do this again some other time. In the meantime, go find yourself something at which to be enlightened and awed. Good luck (even though I don't believe in luck).

Farewell, all.

Talking about T1D

I used to tell people, "I am diabetic" or "I am a diabetic" and I never liked saying that because it wasn't something that people reacted positively to, or it wasn't something that everybody understood.  Previously, I wrote about my first taste of empowerment , when I (finally) learned in middle school to give myself injections. Undoubtedly, this turning point also brought about a change in attitude. Until then, I used to constantly be frustrated or angry about having diabetes, about not being able to do X/Y/Z, about being micromanaged by my parents. After I learned to administer injections to myself and especially after I started using the insulin pump, I began to feel more control over and ownership of my condition. I no longer had to rely on my mother or the school nurse, and I could take insulin whenever, for whatever I wanted to eat (within reason) or glucose reading I needed to correct.  One day, I had an epiphany: that what I had been tell

Becoming Happier

Image
I can't always make other people happy. It's hard to do and even harder to admit. I spent years making decisions and commitments based on what I thought others wanted or needed, forgoing the better decisions for and commitments to myself. I tried to convince myself that seeing other people happy made me happy, but alas, they were only fleeting moments. On the occasions I failed to make somebody happy, I became disappointed. On the occasions somebody was completely unappreciative, I became angry. Furthermore, I can't ever base my happiness on one person, or any group of persons. I have to find happiness on my own terms, and that means asking myself what I want, and actually doing it. (from " Reflections ", January 2018)  You know the saying, "Do what makes you happy"? Well, I've been trying that out for the past year or so, and it really works. It took a lot for me to realize that I hadn't been happy, and it took a long time for me to become h

Things I Wish I'd Known

I don't need to try to please everybody. As valiant and commendable of an effort as one can make, it is impossible to make everybody happy. While happiness can ensue via acts of service for others, I've come to realize that it also has to be actively pursued by asking myself what I want .  A good relationship with my parents is just as important as a good relationship with anybody else. In middle school, I began to "rebel", and in doing so, I of course often upset my parents, and began to communicate with them less and less about my daily goings-on. Meanwhile, I began to develop deep relationships with friends and later romantic relationships with boy(s). A part of me thought that it was a trade-off--either relationship with my parents or relationships with my friends. And I made a choice. But really, there was truly no reason it couldn't have been both.  Not every relationship (the general sense of the word, not just the romantic sense) needs to stay a relatio
