Me either, Caleb. Who knew you and I could agree on a generational issue. ![]() Quote:
Stealing, and adding heartfelt wishes for a great day!! Having a kind of yucky few days with Young Blue acting out. Typical teen stuff, but still doesn't make it easier to deal with when it's happening in your own household. Did I tell you I'm going to Australia next week? Just booked it, so maybe not. It's much easier for me to do it because it's on my sister's staff travel on Qantas and standby is cheap. I also live with the thrill of victory when I get into Business and the agony of defeat when I don't.

Stealing this. And WOOT! for poop! As for me, I'm super pumped right now, because I finally got a beta-able draft of my WiP! It took 8 months which is really long for me, but I'm excited for finishing. So if anyone wants to read a weird, probably unthrilling YA thriller, rep or PM. I can send the first few hundred words to see if the voice works for you, if you want.

Afternoon all.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARYN!!!![]() ![]() Lily, glad the appointment went well. Hope you're having a restful and stress-free day *hugs* Yay for Para's flat! Fire's tales from the trenches are always entertaining. Have fun in Australia, Blue! Pictures please! Ink is awesome, that is all. *snorples* And I think that's my cue to add some more feedback to my shiny color-coded spreadsheet and get back into edits.

Fuck.
I just got an email from Kris. She can't get online and asked me to pass it on. She's at the hospital with her little girl, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes this afternoon. This sucks. It makes me want to put my babies under some kind of force field, and my heart just aches for her. She says "pretty devastated. I know we'll deal with it, but it just feels so unfair." Indeed. Dammit. ((((kris and wee kris)))) Sucksucksuck. |

Happy Birthday, Maryn!
I hope you enjoyed your day. One of my hunky Spartans is on his way to give you a birthday kiss. (Oops, I didn't get permission from Mr. Maryn, sorry!) ![]() c.e.

Poor Kris I know it's a tiny, tiny consolation, but JD management and treatment has improved so much even in the last 5 yrs. Both of Nice Boss's kids were diagnosed as type 1 before they were ten - they're now happy, healthy adults with families of their own. But the initial adjustment is really hard, no question ![]() Big hugs to Kris.

Oh, I missed the bad news re: Kris when I posted. Yes, Becky's so right -- treatment is SO much better these days! We have a family friend who is eleven, and he feels well, plays sports, etc. etc. Even the process of learning to do things himself went smoothly. I'm sending prayers/positive thoughts.

Oh, hugs to Kris and little Kris. I'm glad they got a diagnosis but what a big responsibility for them both and a lot for a child to deal with.

Send my hugs to Kris and little Kris. My SO is currently managing his sugar levels to keep off insulin, so we know the drills. Fortunately, JD can be much better managed these days than a decade ago. Not a consolation - but at least they caught it in time.

Damnit, Kris. Sending you and your daugh HUGE hugs. I signed on from the retreat to check for your news.
I know you're scared right now, but you're up to the task. Hang in there, lady. Maryn, happy belated birthday.

((Kris and daughter)) There's a young man with Type 1 that was told he'd never be an athlete and he's competing in American Ninja Warrior with an insulin pump in his abdomen. She can still have a wonderful life ahead.
