Seeing the toll it has taken on others and all of the crazy misinformation has been really disheartening, however. I feel you, EDE. especially because the misinformation is a distraction - and even an obstacle - to getting aid & help to folks.

It's just frustrating to join local social media groups in the hopes.of finding ways to help out or at least connect with people over what's going on, only to have to leave them due to the proportion of crap they contain.

One of my customers who I work very closely with is an organization dedicated to helping citizens in particular crises, and the way they were vilified in the last four/five years is both frustrating and disheartening.

Just lost my dispatch because the 'cane dropped a bunch of stuff at her place in SC. Power was out for a week. She had to drive miles to even charge her phone, and the company drove her nuts during that time.
It's shit storm effect just keeps growing.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

It's been tough here in Georgia, USA. I was without electricity for a week, some for longer. Many had no water. My cell phone worked about 20% of the time. Got Internet back this morning after 17 days. (Good to see you, Legion World!) My house and I are fine, but a lot of people are displaced. 100+-year-old trees are down everywhere. The main streets are clear now but many were impassable the first several days. My church did a food and supply distribution to 900 people last Tuesday before we ran out of supplies. We're doing it again tomorrow. We're all amazed more lives weren't lost. It's gonna take a while to get everyone intact again.
But Helene did worse in western North Carolina. And then Milton came through Florida. We're just trying to hold on down here in the South and appreciating all those who've been through this before, wherever you are.

Hang in there LT!!! I'm glad you're in better shape than a lot of others.
Yet another good reminder to donate to the charities serving the storm victims!

Great to hear from you LT, and that you're safe and well. As Ibby said, communities pulling together in adversity is what makes us the society we are.

I have a friend with Type 1 and she's explained to me the difference. I know this is reversible so long as I exercise more and try to relieve stress, it's the food I'm worried about. I'm... a very picky eater and worried about preparing more meals for myself because I'm just, I get easily flustered when it comes to making estimates on anything.

Okay so I apologize for making this sound worse than it is, because I doublechecked and the diagnosis says my blood sugar level is 5.7
Anything below that exact number is healthy.
But I admit I'm trying to figure out if I'm dealing with blood sugar spikes or if this is sugar withdrawal due to how much of it I cut out since the diagnosis.

There was a shooting incident this morning before sunrise.
It happened less than 10 blocks from where I live.
Jesus H Pete, what a messed up world!

Sorry for my bad mood lately, everyone. It feels like just about everything in my life is spinning in circles and not in a good way. I shouldn't have taken it out on all of you.

My back hurts, my drawing arm hurts, my pharmacy is staffed by idiots, and my sensitivity to heat is getting worse!
All my closest friends and family members are having crises of their own!
No wonder I've hardly posted at all recently!
Gods, when is my life going to take a turn for the better?
