Yes, the shouty caps are intentional. We've in our first full day at the Doubletree Hilton in Ocean City, Maryland. It's our first trip in 13 years so we're going all out. I slept in a bed comfortably last night for the first time that I can remember. There will be pictures once I figure out how to post them because the view is unbelievable.
I don't remember if I got a picture of it but the first thing I ate in Ocean City was a deep fried Oreo cookie. I'd heard so much about them and they lived up to their reputation. I loved them! For dinner, I had a selection of seafood including a crab cake, sea scallops, shrimp, clam strips and fried flounder. I never got to the flounder and clam strips because it was so worth it filling up on sweet potato fries. Those were as good as the crab cake and scallops.
Last night was a bad one even here in Ocean City. It started off with a terrible football game where my Cowboys got whooped. Actually, it started with something far more serious but I can't hope to write about the horror that is yet another Middle Eastern war in this entry. When you get right down to it, I don't really care about football. I enjoy it but I can't afford to let it make me crazy. Last night was about a lot more than that.
I found myself without insulin during the wonderful food fest. How could I possibly forget to pack insulin? How could I possibly be that stupid? Don't be so quick to judge. For reasons that I won't bother to explain here, I decided to go to my backup meter when my current CGM sensor expires which will be any time now. Therefore, I had to pack a whole kit that I haven't used in a while. I remembered all of the stuff needed to check my BS and I remembered the insulin in the pens used for measuring it. What I forgot was the new box of needles for injecting the insulin. Without the pen needles, the insulin might as well have been on Mars.
We also forgot the large amounts of bottled water that I need with my sensitivity to any change in water. My body handles tap water from Bear, Delaware just fine. I drink it by the gallon. I will risk tap water from anywhere in New Castle County except for Newark on brown water day. If I cross a state or county line, it's not worth the risk.
In any case, I found myself here with two little bottles of water and some diet soda to drink with high BS. Much to my surprise, I fell asleep on the truly glorious bed. Three hours later, I woke to a new crisis where my high blood sugar overwhelmed all of the measures I took to protect the bed. I never do well at night even at home or in beautiful places. I guess it was too dark to see the view
