A good article about facing a #type1diabetes diagnosis & having to change your plans & expectations for your life & your #pregnancy. I was type 1 BEFORE pregnancy & this still hit home big time.

"We think of strength as grit..But type 1 taught me a diff kind of #strength, 1 that’s quieter. Softer. Still fierce..involved #acceptance & #surrender..I was #angry. But as I learned to live with this new way..I began to find #joy in it.": buff.ly/2D3vEP0 via tinybuddha #ChronicallyIll #diabetic

Researching various lizards by size and landed on a photo page of iguanas in Florida people's toilets. I'm scarred for life. And yes, I've had a snake in the shower and a frog in the toilet there already. Yikes.

My PhD 9-month review is today. Less than 3 hours from now. And the gardener has just begun a major project below my window, with hired help, tractors, trimmers, and every noisy machine known to man. I'm reminding myself that all good things in my life arrive through a little absurdity. #WishMeLuck

Hi Francine! We’ve “met” at your workshop for Cleaver, I think & I read Flash Boulevard, too. I’m here every day (it’s my main social) & I post & comment a lot. I’m happy with my Bsky fam but it took time. Maybe add pic or art to your icon & personalize more? Happy to share your new intro post!

The place I donate blood gives points that you can exchange for gas cards which means I actually know the current exchange rate of blood for oil. Blood is going for 20.618 times an equivalent amount of oil.

You guys! I just emailed my advance materials for my PhD 9-month review to my Brunel supervisors. This thing is REAL. The process of recapping my first-year progress was pretty cool. All this stuff I wanted to study & do anyway & now I've got a whole uni & team of academics who care about it.

Also, here -- cake. My best friend from high school's kid got married this past weekend too. I'm posting this stuff to Insta, but now that I've brought it up here, I just thought you BlueSKy pals might also like cake. 😍
