I'm out of batteries!

Today, I got a just wonderful alarm; it was the "Replace Battery" alarm. I had never gotten this alarm before, so, of course, I had to take pictures before informing the general public (read: my family) about this. I then ran out to the living room and said that my pump was out of batteries.

A blurry picture of the battery alarm.

After getting told how irresponsible I am for not telling my mom to get new batteries, I kept saying I was out of batteries. Then I kept making bad jokes about how I am a half bionic human.

Moral of Story: It's official: I am a robot.

I think I am going crazy.

What if everyone thought diabetes was awesome, or only popular people were diabetic? Than maybe teenagers would complain like this:

*WARNING: GOING INTO FULL MAKING FUN OF TEENAGERS EVEN THOUGH I AM A TEENAGER MODE*

Teenage Girl: UGH Mom I totes wish I was diabetic!
Mom: Why!?
TG: Well, whenever they need new stuff for their pump or whatevs it is called, they just ask and get it in a day.
M:...
TG: And, OMG Mom, they get to go to the totes coolest camp EVAH! It's called Camp Kudzu it is totes fun!
M: Thinking, "What is wrong with my child?"
TG: And don't even get me started about their totes cuh-yute pumps. They can be pink! The TOTES best color EVAH!

TG: UGH, MOM! MY LIFE IS TOTES UNFAIR!!!!!

*No More Weird Teenager Mode*

Moral of Story: How did I even make this up?

Teenage to Human Dictionary:
totes = totally
EVAH = Ever
cuh-yute = cute

The Perils of Travel

Going places is cool, but my diabetes pretty much thinks the opposite.

"Oh, Sarah is traveling again? Let's teach her a lesson..."

On the way to Oregon, in a plane, I had to change my site in a tiny airplane bathroom because you can't really change your site in public...

All of my trash in the car.

Than on the way back, I had to change my whole site in the car because my pump decided to give me the occlusion alert for the first time while in the car. Yay! <insert sarcasm here

I think my diabetes has something against using my arm as a site, because both times this happened, my site was in my arm.

Moral of Story: Do I get an award for this?

I'm Back! (Well, for a day...)

I'm back from camp, and I had tons of fun!
I got to climb a rock wall, go kayaking, do T-Rescues with canoes, tie dye, make a song about flushing the toilet, (long story) walk way too much, and be awesome with other diabetics!

I also put my pump site in my arm! I know people with Omni Pods do it, but I decided I wanted to as well! (And a lot of people seem to do it at camp.)

I should probably take it out, it has been there for five days.

Looking at the pictures, I can't seem to find any with me in them... I found my little sister, and everyone else in my cabin, but not me.

Was I really there, or was it a dream? *DUN DUN DUN*

I had a great week at camp, but now I am packing to go to Oregon from June 11 through June 18.

Moral of Story: I am going to collapse when I finally get home.
