Halloween is truly evil

It's Halloween weekend! As excited as I am to celebrate - I've concluded that there is no other holiday or event that sets a diabetic up to fail so miserably. At least, a diabetic college freshman like me. Offerings of beer and candy are rampant! And, even more cruel, tomorrow is the beginning of National Diabetes Month.

So after we drink and eat ourselves into a coma tonight - and our blood sugar can't decide whether to go up from the candy or down from the alcohol - we get to wake up to celebrate healthy diabetes awareness! Woo-hoo.

Oh well, I'm still looking forward to this weekend! I'll try to be good. Happy Halloween!

Fake Fall Day

While I was driving in the car this morning, I put on my Northface jacket, turned on the air conditioning and pretended it was the crisp fall weather I was feeling. That comfortable chill that reminds me of football games on the weekends, apples that have finally come into season, sweaters yanked out of the bottom drawer and Halloween candy appearing in the aisles of grocery stores.
