The Fold

I hate it when this happens.

And typically I am running out the door or going to some sort of event or something! I mean A ninja’s job is never done so when I am going to change my set I need to get it done and get on my way.

There are a lot of things about Diabetes that frustrate me but this is a big one. It’s bad enough that you spend a few minutes trying to pull the thing apart but then when you finally give up, you throw it away which is wasteful. I feel like I am throwing money away. I cannot stand that!

Luckily in my two years pumping I think I have only lost two sets to the dreaded “unfixable fold” (but I have had to pull several "bad" sets) so my track record is pretty good and yet, it still pisses off.

Do you guys have a special way of avoiding this phenomenon?

You Tube Tuesday #80

I am a member of the "Entertainment Committee" at my work. I hope you saw my picture the other day from our "Fiesta" because if you thought that was bad, this is unbelievably embarrassing.

You must admit, I am one heck of a team player!

Enjoy.

Feeling weird today.

I wrote about it here.

Check it out.

Corn Festival

Tomorrow is the La Habra Corn Festival Parade, and we are going to be there bright and early.

My son George will be marching in his first parade and as a former Drum Major, I could not be more proud.

I am sure most of you thought your school’s drum major was some total dork who has no friends and would never get married. Well, I am a total dork, that part is true.

George is marching in the second row on the far right so he will be right in front of the judges. I know that we always put the people that could march well and play well along that side of the band so I think he must be doing well.

He keeps practicing the songs they are going to play and he is constantly “marching” around and showing off his ability to “hardly bounce at all!”

He is without a doubt, my son.

I am just very thankful that he involved already with something other then just classes at school. I know for myself, that extra stuff like Band gives you something to look forward too each day besides regular classes. Not to mention, you cannot perform or compete if you do not have good grades. Not that I do not want my kid to enjoy school and his regular subjects. It’s not that at all. It is like the icing on the cake and it changes things up each day.

He is doing great at Cross Country too. I am so impressed with him. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and a good attitude about things. My wife and I continue to talk to him about everything and stay as close to him as we can for as long as we can. I hope he continues down this path he is on now.

Gillian is a totally different post. She may become president someday.
