Korelitz Krew

Yesterday, we had our staff training session for Camp Korelitz. I loved seeing some of the diabetic and NDs (non-diabetic friends) I haven't seen in a year. And sitting around the round table with a few of them, checking our blood sugars for lunch, laughing at those who were low (me) or high.

I can hardly believe that this summer will be my fourth as a counselor at Korelitz. I'm getting paid this year for the first time, too! Not a lot--but I don't care.

It's one the best places ever. I'll be working here until I'm an old ass woman.

The greatest birthday party ever...

...for real.

Type 1 Dia-badass

Nothing cheers up a sad girl more than hanging out with a few of her diabetic friends. And planning elaborate pranks on our campers...seven months in advance. Or laughing for ten minutes straight about the time at diabetes camp Rashod had to ride the white horse named Confederate. Is it August yet?
