Quick Saturday night painting.

A little fan art based on my spouse's first play-through.

I oscillate between "oatmeal is disgusting" and "oatmeal is amazing". Sometimes, multiple times in a single bowl.

So today I learned that it is technically possible for a person in the US to order insulin online from Canada without a prescription.

And that it costs less than the copays/deductibles that many US insurance policies will charge along the way to getting insulin here in the US. And I realized this requires a PSA.

Because this is technically illegal to do. You might be easily misled into thinking that it is legal because:

US customs only rarely rejects such shipments,

as far as I know the US has never prosecuted a person for ordering quantities that are reasonable for a couple months of personal use,

Canada does not have any laws making it illegal for their pharmacies to ship insulin to US patients,

Canada does not require a prescription at all for insulin,

Canada often gets their insulin from the same factories that the US does, literally often the same exact drugs, and with comparable standards of quality and safeguards and regulations,

Canadian pharmacies consider shipping to US customers a significant part of their business model, so much so that they have payed for quite a lot of advertising to US customers through Google, and

some US citizens and residents already choose to get their insulin from Canada that way.

Wow, just look at all those reasons why you might mistakenly think it is legal - it is affordable, legal and widely accepted on Canada's side, and the insulin comes from legit sources. But to reiterate it is definitely illegal.

So you should absolutely never do it, no matter how much you might need insulin to not die.

No obligation, but if you could help spread the word of how this seemingly innocent method of getting insulin is actually illegal, you'd be doing a great service to the people who medically need insulin.

Otherwise, in a moment of desperation when they cannot afford it or their prescription for it cannot be renewed in time, they might make the wrong decision and buy insulin this illegal way, and that would be bad.

Finished my run this morning, now I'm laying on my yoga may, wrapped up in a fluffy blanket, scrolling through tumblr. Life is weird sometimes.

Signal boost if you need it, all.

Ending the stigma of drug use will save lives.

There's nothing wrong with sex, people.

This right here has summed up my 2019 so far

Squealed like a little girl when I found out the new episodes of the great british baking show are on Netflix

It's important to remember that, even if you weren't as fast today as you were yesterday, that's okay. The goal is to move a little bit closer to your goals every day.

Some days are fantastic for bakes, until you realize you've forgotten to add the damned eggs to the dough and all is lost.

Solid breakfast after the barbara

[navyblueartist]

Scaled Barbara

My quads are so stiff from yesterday's workout and run so, naturally, the WOD is Barbara. Had to scale her down to make it through.

3 rounds for time (I don't time myself, though)

-10 banded pulldowns

-20 modified kneeling pushups

-30 stability ball crunches

-40 stability ball air squats

3 min rest between rounds

Please see the crossfit webpage for the original Barbara if you are interested.

Wishing everyone a great day!

I hope the bread turns out as decent as the macarons.

[navyblueartist]

Went with my standard buttercream instead of the french buttercream

Macarons looking way better than last time
