I think that is the short list...but it totally gave me an idea for an upcoming Thursday 13!!
There is another piece of me that I don't pay enough attention to...some may say it is the most important piece. The piece that I should rank first on my list...but I don't. I don't...but I should...before something really bad happens. I am a Diavista (dia - vee - sta)...which is a little tag name I gave myself to give the T1 Diabetes part of my life some snarky, snazzy spice...or should I say give my sugar some snark and snazz? Anyway...back to the original point of this post...for those of you who know me you know that I am not a good diabetic. I guess. I intuit. I float along taking no real responsibility for things. I know right? Me lackadaisical about something??
Well it will be 22 years since I was diagnosed at 10 at the end of September...and given all that is going on at the moment...work especially...I need to be better balanced. I need to pay attention to what I need. I need to pay attention to me. I know, I can't believe I just wrote that...but I'm starting to believe that it is true. Actually I know it is true...so I am taking active steps to make this happen. Perhaps my Thursday 13 will be a list of those things...I was going to do it on my favorite movies...but maybe I should save that one for a rainy day.
Stay tuned...much like my musings about Vera...this could be quite an entertaining ride. :)

you have to take care of yourself, if for no other reason then i need someone to play with in the old people's home. plus seriously, it's important. at some point, you have to just take stock and stop letting things go. we're not getting any younger! :)
So you are finally realizing, after 32 years, how important YOU are!! I'm looking forward to your list and will be right there to help support you in achieving your goals!!
