This continuous glucose meter changed my life, man.

I was diagnosed relatively late for Type 1--at the very start of 9th grade (so I was like 14 or 15 years old). I was a gold-star diabetic patient for a few years: I tested all the time, I was dedicated to carb-counting, my A1c was pretty damn good. Every time I saw the doctor, she gushed with praise for me.

(Once, there was a nasty snowstorm on the same day that I had an appointment, and when my dad and I got there, the nurse told us that they'd been calling a lot of patients to cancel their appointments because of the weather, but they didn't want to cancel mine because they knew it'd be fantastic or something.)

But then other stuff happened (depression came rushing back) and I started to neglect that stuff. I didn't test very often, so I was mostly guessing about how much insulin to take, which made my numbers all fucky, which made me want to test even less because the highs felt like a failure, and so on.

And then CGMs. Once my depression and anxiety had been sort of dealt with (better living through chemistry!!), I brought up the idea to my doctor, and it only took a couple of months before I had my very own Dexcom. My A1c is in a good range now (at my last appointment, I was still in the habit of pushing praise aside, so when my doctor mentioned how good it was, I said "I know I can still get it lower" and she straight up said "Uhh, please don't. If we get much lower, it's going to be putting you in dangerously-low ranges for too long, and I don't like that") and I'm way less wound-up about what the numbers mean.

When I did finger-pricks with a regular glucose meter, I usually hesitated. In the few seconds before it showed the results, I would have to brace myself because ugggh it's going to be high because I'm the worst, but this morning I did a finger-prick and it was just...nothing.

I've still got a lot of work to do to get back into carb counting and doing better about exercise and making better snacky choices, but so much of the weight of diabetes has been eliminated just because my Dexcom has allowed (forced) me to be very familiar with my glucose levels on a constant basis. Wonderful!

Tim and Jason were munching on Batburgers mid-patrol. Entirely out of the blue Tim says: By the way, I'm bi.

Jason pauses, then swallows his burger: Uh, okay?

Tim: I just wanted to tell you. In case, you know, you think no one would accept you.

Jason: ...Huh??

Tim: Yeah, there's a reason why I brought this up. What I'm trying to tell you is that B told me to tell you that you can bring your boyfriend over for dinner whenever you want.

Jason just stares at Tim, wondering if he's experiencing a fever dream because what??

Jason: What boyfriend??

As far as he knows, there is no boyfriend. Why does Bruce think there is a boyfriend??

Tim being understanding but for a completely different context: It's okay, Hood. I'll tell him you said no. No need to deny it.

Jason continues to be baffled: Thanks. But I don't have a boyfriend.

Tim does not believe him: Sure, sure. So, when's the next time Arsenal plans to visit Gotham?

Jason goes back to eating his burger and pretending he's not totally confused by the change in topic: Uh, this Thursday. I'm gonna help him with Lian's birthday cake, and brainstorm gift ideas.

Tim: Uh-huh. Hope you have guys have fun :)

katsuki who breaks his sleep schedule ONLY on your birthday because he wants to be sure he’s the first one to text you.

at exactly midnight .on.the.dot. you get a string of messages from your boyfriend saying :

“happy birthday, moron.”

“i love you and all that stupid mushy shit”

“you better say it back. fucked up my sleep for you.”

“❤️”

he doesn’t even care if you’re already asleep, he’s already sure he was the very first one to text you but if you are still awake he’s even more proud cause you saw it happen. him who you (and his friends) tease all the time for going to sleep at like 8:30 sharp stayed up doing fuck all just to be the first to wish you a happy fucking birthday.

so yeah, you bet your ass he’s proud. and he’ll go to sleep and knock out immediately with a smirk on his face when you text him a “thank you sm, katsuki !!! i love you sosooososos much💕💕”

“yeah you better. go to bed, g’night <3”

n’ yeah okay, maybe he’ll be a bit crankier than usual, but it’ll be worth it seeing how bright you smile and jump to hug him, kissing all over his cheek with thank you’s and love you’s.

he’ll just take it out on kaminari.

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

Thinking about DP x DC Jason Todd being a revenant again. Here's my scenario. Jason gets called that by some ghost. He's like "what the fuck is that supposed to mean?" He's heard the term before but he doesn't know any actual lore. He googles it. He scrolls past the Leonardo DiCaprio bear movie. He opens the wiki. Sees the words "animated corpse" and gets a chill diwn his spine. He starts reading the first section.

He closes Wikipedia.

That night he has a nightmare that his family buried him, again, this time with precautions. He wakes up in his own grave, full of stones, too heavy to move, to scream.
