29 years ago today, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 14 years old.
I will always remember my first two thoughts upon being told I must inject insulin for life to survive:
1) my life will never again be the same;
2) I need a cigarette 😂🤣
The more things change…..
Hazel, a chubby tortoiseshell cat with big eyes stares into the distance while sitting in a cat scratch house made to look like a framed Halloween version of Van Gogh’s Starry Night
Happy Friday from Hazel in Van Gogh’s “Starry Night!”

Happy Wednesday from Hazel and Nash!
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.
We’ve got tix to the Renn Faire for the next 3 weekends!!!!!!
Dinner last night with my diabestie @jediabetical.bsky.social!

The latest Barbie slays in a chic blue polka-dot crop top, ruffled miniskirt, chunky heels and an insulin pump. She is the brand’s first doll with type 1 diabetes. cnn.it/44C6V94
Also the usual shout out to clean-shaven Maor
Is that your Type 1 bro in the pic with you and Maor? Dude looks exactly like your Pops!
Congrats to the happy couple!

Happy Sunday!
I should add, she has had a lower limb amputation (in her 70s) but otherwise is complication free.
My aunt has had Type 1 since she was 13. She’s 81.

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!”
WE LOVE YOU BACK!
LFG!!!!!
Happy Pride month yall!

Happy Weekend from RVA!
Yesterday evening, my brother-in-law, Steve, passed away from pancreatic cancer. He was 46 years old.
