Occasionally, I get to sleep with one less device attached to me. When this happens, I can sleep on whatever side I want without worrying about setting off a CGM alarm that makes my loved ones think I’m dying. I call this thrash sleep night. Happy thrash sleep night to all who celebrate.

They’re working on isolating some good quotes for our news story. With sleepy eyes from celebrating her 17th birthday last night, one of them lamented, “This is just a long process.”
It is.
But the process is invaluable, and I am so thankful they’ve been part of mine.

Lol jk diabetes wins again and I have to change my CGM (which talks to my insulin punk and tells it how to keep me alive.) but it was so wonderful and beautiful and what a privilege to see so many people be amazing performers and raise money for the Trevor Project!

I have type 1.5 diabetes and tonight we say goodnight to my final thrash sleep night (where I take off my glucose monitor and sleep however I want and use a new on in the am) because I am getting my insulin pump (thankful). So all sleep henceforth will be anti-thrash sleep. 🥲

HEY! LISTEN! Went to a Zelda-themed drag/burlesque show last night for work called “Queers of the Kingdom.” It was equal parts hilarious (intentionally) and lovely. Article up later, make up was good.

All my homies on antidepressants take the heat seriously, we're more susceptible to the heat (SSNIs and SSRIs). My first post being about depression and complaining about heat is, tbh, so on brand.
