Pillows and Blankets

I miss my bed. I am extremely sleepy and even more tired. Since 6 p.m. I have been feeling cold but haven't done anything about it. Oh, except shower about twenty minutes ago. It's not 12:34 a.m. My nose has been feeling congested for almost the whole day, and I felt a headache coming on before I showered. Why, oh why? :(

Today, Science Bowl scrimmage was hilariously interesting. In the beginning, anyway. To make a potentially long story short, it was as casual as any academic (practice) competition can get. And it was fun until such beastly schools as GHCHS and VHS took over and dominated. Then we just left. Haha.
Because I had to wake up early for this event, I slept only five hours last night, the shortage of which probably contributed to my current state.

After Science Bowl, I came home and watched Thursday and yesterday's episodes of "Days of Our Lives". I hope that it won't stop airing for a long time because it really is my favorite soap opera. "General Hospital" is still good, but I just have not watched it online to catch up like I have been doing for the other.
Around two o' clock, I went out on a "lunch date" at Ono Hawaiian Barbecue or whatever it's called. Then we went to Nubi yogurt because it is having a "50% off all yogurt" promotion sale thing until February 14th. Hence, what we usually pay nearly four dollars for at Yogurtland, cost only $2.90 there today! Strawberry-kiwi (or maybe the inverse) sorbet, raspberry pomegranate, and mango tart flavors are delectably delicious. Yummy!

After a while, I went home and watched television, then fell asleep while sitting upright with the blanket covering my head. At one point, I heard myself being to snore, then I just lied down on the couch and slept for half an hour. After dinner, my mother, my sister and I went to Ross. I used to love shopping there, but for some reason, I can't ever find anything there anymore. Not even jeans! Actually, I have been having difficulty finding anything anywhere anymore. And I have no clue why... But I do know that I need jeans and long sleeves.

Oh, and sleep. That I shall tend to now.
I had something "meaningful" to talk about tonight. I thought about it while I was showering earlier, but I guess talking about other things just made me forget. Oh, well. It's all good.

And to all a good night!

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
