There’s a smoothie place near where my wife works called Nutrition Smoothie and if you look inside it’s “open”, but there are no smoothie machines and you never see anybody in there except sometimes maybe one guy behind the counter. We have a running gag about what would happen if you tried to go in and actually order something bc it’s so obviously a front.

Anyway, thinking about mafia au!Simon being on counter duty and reader coming in and trying to order something and he’s just staring, mind boggled that she doesn’t notice the obvious lack of smoothie paraphernalia.

#I like to think she’s diabetic and needed to even out her blood sugar #he’s like uhhhh shit what the fuck do I do #there’s like 2 bananas #they have one blender but he’s not sure if it even works #he finds some apple juice in the fridge #he gets obsessed with making sure she’s okay bc clearly she can’t take care of herself #simon ghost riley #mafia au #cod #simon ghost riley x reader

if you. are making a video. you're sitting down to talk to the camera and make a video. shortform video. vertical video. less than a minute. tiktok instagram reel whatever. i have full confidence that you do not fucking need to eat right now. do not start your sentence and then shove an apple slice in your face two words in and keep talking through your apple slice. you're making yourself look so obnoxious and hateable. really truly i know you can put the apple slices to one side for the amount of time it takes to get your sentence out. i believe in you. why don't you believe in yourself

#prazardous #tiktok #instagram reels #misophonia #i dont have misophonia genuinely i do not care about mouth sounds and chewing noises #and not to sound like a boomer #but close your goddamn mouth when you eat and dont talk with your mouth full #it is so simple and so easy #unless your video is about blood sugar levels and you are diabetic and desperately need to eat right fucking now or you'll die #but you want to give us a glimpse into what that's like so you're recording it and talking about it #actually no i think even in that case you can take two seconds to chew and swallow your food before speaking again

Hey y'all! Another weird question for you: How long do you have to fast for a blood sugar reading to count as a fasting blood sugar measurement? Also, does drinking soda (like, full sugar soda) slowly over the time before the blood test count as not-fasting? Asking because I keep testing* in the fasting blood sugar range when I am pretty sure I am not supposed to. Like, two hours after eating a meal when I've been slowly drinking soda the whole intervening time, or half an hour after drinking a whole full-sugar gatorade *with the home blood sugar test thing, not like doctor's office tests. though I test in the fasting range there too? I do know the word for the tester thing but I am brain fogged at the moment

#the person behind the yarn #blood mention #food mention #like. obliquely? but sort of there so I tag it just in case #I have a new personal record for lowest blood sugar when testing at home now! 91 #I ate lunch two hours ago had some goldfish crackers after that and have been slowly sipping on a dr pepper #(as well as water I have two drinks going at all times)#and my blood sugar is STILL low #so I am eating some candy and then I will eat more goldfish and make sure I get extra protein with dinner #but seriously what the heck #this is not how blood sugar works for other people right????#it's not just always low but technically not hypoglycemic?????#I do not have diabetes I have been checked for that. a lot. it's probably the second or third most common thing they test me for #but nope whatever my problem is it's not that my body just yearns to yeet nutrients as efficiently as possible without retaining them #salt and sugar both apparently. also vitamin D but that one could just be that I don't go outside much #I take supplements for that it's fine #but there's not really salt and sugar supplements?#okay there are. I take the salt pills. but sugar is iffier. like there are sugar pills but I suspect #that's probably not the best way to increase my blood sugar

A 40 year old trans milf is willing to be your sugar mommy, and even pay for you to get slime HTR, the downside is that her sex playlist is nothing but Imagine Dragons, do you accept

Look here, if I'm getting that slime HRT, completely free ride, I'll fucking have the sex playlist be nothing but Lemon Demon's "Two Trucks Having Sex" for 12 hours straight

I'll get freaky with her if it means she's paying, the freak level: ∞ is there for a reason

The freak train stops for nothing if it means getting that sweet fucking slime HRT, I need that fucking shapeshifting and the ability to experiment on "willing" "men", you have no fucking idea

#diabetic-best-bi #I know the TF kink is probably showing really hard on this post rn #But like #What do you expect from a tgirl who repressed her feelings for who the fuck knows how long #Actions have consequences

do u ever feel alive but not...

like ur body is alright n stuff but ur mind...isn't... I don't FEEL alive... its like I'm distant from me... I'm not here... I can feel my limbs I can feel the blood going through me I can feel everything that I've ever hurt.. I can breathe...I can see.. i can write these words down....but I'm just not. just not here my head is fuzzy,parts of me hurt..idk..

more in tags...

#moop talks #vent #Vent tw #I don't even know at this point #This isn't poetry or anything it's just what I feel rn.. I don't like that #I never really few alive anymore.. I keep going because death = bad and scary and my parents won't like me dead #It all boils down to being about surviving the day... nothing else... I feel good I feel bad.. but nothing changes #I don't want to live i don't want to die... I just sometimes wish I just wasn't there #Then nobody would love me and nobody would know me and nobody would need me and I wouldn't disappoint anyone #I'm just some meat puppet to a weird chemical reaction and I'm forced to know about that.. I'm forced to watch myself age and get sick..#I'll eventually rot and die.. not contributing anything in a way that matters... I'm repulsed by sex.. so likely no offspring #And IF I EVEN did have kids they'd inherent my families eyesight and diabetes risc and possibly anxiety and whatever my dad and grandma hav #Come to think of it.. I'm screwed when my parents eventually die and I'm forced to fend for myself... what do I even do other than“draw gud #AND I DONT EVEN DRAW GOOD ENOUGH TO GET ANYWHERE WORTHWHILE #I shouldn't even feel like this... I have parents.. I have a roof above my head.. I have the stuff needed to live ok.. Im not even 16 yet .#People out there are dieing and fuckin MOOPSIE over here is sulking about “feeling bad :( ”#I wish I could get therapy tbh... but I don’t think I'd be able to convince my parents without saying too much #I wish I could just be normal and feel ok and survive till adulthood than have sex and offspring than die feeling ok

they should make a life where you don't have appointments, work, school and scheduled events every single day for months on end

#i just wanna spend like 2 full days rotting in bed is that too much to ask #december i'm going on a vacation with family + gf and we're trying to schedule a lunch/dinner so that we can go over the itinerery #and other stuff like my gf is diabetic so she's going to tell everyone the procedures in case of an emergency etc #and the soonest i'm available for that is oct 20th like bruh #every week day i've got classes 7:30-11:50 work 13:00-17:00 and then gym therapy or futsal practice at night #oh and sometimes the professor that i'm the student assistant (? monitor in pt) for wants me to go to her night classes #and then on weekends i've got futsal practice sat morning usually a match either saturday or sunday legal advice clinic 4x a semester #and then birthdays friend group meetups (with ppl i haven't properly seen in a WHILE so i don't wanna bail) family stuff or gf's family stu #oh and i take care of the finances of our futsal team so there's that as well #and then when i'm free i spend my time with my love (who i mostly see on either day of the weekend and sometimes for dinner on weekdays)#those are my favorite “appointments” i love spending time with her so much but even though we have quite a few staying in dates we also #pretty frequently go out to cafes restaurants parks meet up with mutual friends etc #so like... no bed rotting ever adfdsal #honestly i am not THAT busy compared to some ppl that i know #like i work from home most days of the week commute only 20 min to college am not a part of any study group etc etc #but man... that vyvense sure is working cause i do not think i would be able to do what i do now when my adhd was unmedicated #also i'm thinking of maybe getting a new internship next year cause even though i love my current one it's in public law which atm #is the field i'm thinking of getting into after school but getting into private law in brazil with only public law uni experience is #incredibly difficult. so i wanna be 100% sure i actually want public law. which means experiencing private law.#which means a private law internship #so i'm wondering how the fuck imma be able to pull that off next year #at least it pays much more than my current one! like probably double!#but honestly even with all the shit that i do and wishing i had more time for myself i've actually been so happy lately #i'm learning more at uni than i used to be able to i do pretty well at my internship i've got wonderful friends both old and new #my family is well and we get along like always i switched positions in futsal and am doing suprisingly good as a goalkeeper #and i'm in my first ever relationship. it's been almost 8 months till we made it official and it blows me away how good it's been #like we haven't faught once. disagreed on a couple things sure. but not a single fight and tbh even disagreements are very rare #idk we communicate and give each other grace and i just feel so loved. she knows me so well. i love her so so so so much.#like man just this saturday we were having an early dinner at a bakery. she stopped what she was saying and just stared at me smiling #and like i couldn't hold eye contact. cause she's so so fucking beautiful and she was looking at me with so much love and i had to look awa

Me googling "low blood sugar" only to find out that it is NOT common or normal for non-diabetic people to experience. I experience it somewhat frequently.

#last night had a bit of a scare #took too long to realize how hungry I was #started getting really weak and nauseous #and started sweating so badly. I had been fine 10 minutes before #parents had to get me food because I was too weak to get it myself #dad told me that's what happens to him when his blood sugar is low (he's diabetic)#I'm so confused now why is this happening to me #I mean I always knew I don't do well if I go too long without food but I thought everyone was like that #at least to some extent yk?#apparently not though #apparently fantasy book characters don't have supernatural powers that keep them functioning after skipping two meals #help lol #idk what to do #I'm pretty sure I'm not diabetic because I feel like I would have other symptoms?#and I know that diabetic people usually only have low blood sugar when they take too much insulin #and I don't take insulin because I'm not diabetic #so. idk. what should I do #any advice would be appreciated

Just some more Still Wakes the Deep blah blah, but omg having just been diagnosed Diabetes type 1 myself recently, it makes me only love and feel for Roy 10X more...

This shit is litteraly poison, but so does the food we eat with how much sugar there is in ugh OTL

Never thought in a million year I had DT1, I had 0 symptoms and am in pretty good shape, but then suddenly, organs are starting to hurt really badly out of nowhere...

Don't wait too long poeple and check with your doctors even if there's ''nothing'' T0T and to all Diabetic ppl out there, keep on fighting 💪✨

#random #delete later #first 2 weeks of diagnosis i didn't realized what it meant to live with this #but the 3rd week it really sinked it and i couldn't stop crying everyday #i felt even more like a failure and it made me even more angry that my biological parents left me with that #being adopted i have no medical history and i was already living a quite healthy life style #ofc it could have been even better but now i have to do many extra steps #everything's back to normal now but holy shit that hit me like a truck #plus it was urgent since it had been MONTHS it was left untreated and my family doctor just never told me or bothered to check my blood tes #so ughh idk it sucks with life being already hard as it is #high blood pressure now this... tho theyre probably related #i prepared my bucket list sooo i guess LET'S GO?! jk jk #i'm scared to have a heart attack or stroke in the middle of nowhere where no one i love is around... and that'll be it #but i mean if it happens it happens i guess XD #i'm hopefull now but holy shit... fucking pancreas who just decides to stop working #when you read more about DT1 it just feels like a bad employee who suddenly doesn't want to work anymore #and the good boss cant do anything about it #oh well #as long as i can still create art i'll be fine and happy #diabetic? more like diabethicc

decided to make a list of all my diagnosed issues and like fucking. god damn. how am i just living day to day.

#nine bullet points #of diagnosed things i struggle #i struggle with #1. type one diabetes 2. adhd 3. bipolar 4. severe anxiety 5. depression 6. insomnia 7. migraines 8. dpdr 9. ptsd #and im just ?? existing like this??? literally how what the fuck #there’s more than that too thats just like the actual able to be diagnosed shit #probably also at least slightly autistic but my psychologist said that its not bad enough to impact me big time and a diagnosis would do mor #more harm than good so im just kind. Not lmao #but also: abandonment issues self worth issues guilty conscience issues feeling unworthy of literally everything issues #awful at establishing boundaries #sh issues #(not for like years but its a struggle to not relapse every year esp during winter)#suicidal ideation but at least ive never actually been suicidal #not bc i particularly love being alive but because the fact that i dont know what comes after death scares me too much lmao #even at my lowest of lows i have not wanted to kms SOLELY bc the unknown scares me enough to be like #yeah this sucks but at least i know it #at least it’s like familiar which is sad but still true lma #OH ALSO eating disorder lmao. diabulimia is a thing.#genuinely how have i not been fucking hospitalized #not in a bad way but like. idk how i havent gotten to that point yet #tho to be fair there are multiple points i probably should have been tbh #i just. dont want to worry people? or inconvenience anyone. and i know im not gonna kms so its easy to be like ‘i dont need that’#i have overshared way too much in these tags sorry i’ll stop now #if anyone has actually read all of these: i’m sorry. i love you. i hope you feel better than i do. i hope you smiled today.

#horrible leg cramps have calmed a bit but are continuing along with thumpy heartrate increase #and my magnesium supplement is out of date and i'm not trying to go out after more #look up leg cramps just to see if there's helpful advice #let's see continuing leg cramps causes: diabetes ✔️ okay. thyroid issues ✔️ vitamin deficiencies yeah ik. severe anemia too ✔️#this does not narrow it down at all #oh also cholesterol medications too so ✔️#but the only one the dr has been calling me to come in for is the anemia so ...#just why suddenly after work you know? like they still *function* fine it's just this constant 'something is wrong'#ever since i got sick my body chemistry has been utterly whacked and now i'm not sick but it's getting weirder not better #i have had leg cramps before (why i had the magn and potassium supplements) but they went away after i slept #these went away then came back also they showed up just as i was feeling better #after a day of just feeling the malaise of a bad day spent feeling 'something is wrong' but nothing specific enough to identify #so like it was a good sogn bc i felt better but now it keeps on and i'm feeling bad again #i really hope it *is* the anemia because it would explain it but damn how am i gonna function until friday i can't sleep #and also like i've been whete these numbers are at before so why is it so much worse so suddenly #that's what's worrisome - where are all my red blood cells going? bc that means the internal bleeding thing is back on the table #well or the bone cancer?#there are too many things that could cause the same symptoms what tge fuck #torn between just taking aleve until nothing hurts (except if it's my kidneys ... or hey my stomache bc nsaids)#and packing a hospital bag just in case because catastrophisizing is what you do when you're home by yourself #it's so hard to tell when you're fat but you *think* you've been losing a weird amount of weight for no known reason #ignire this i'm typing it out bc i need to put it down somewhere and this blog is like a journal

AaHHHHGHHH got some mail today that i forgot i was waiting on from the local health sugar to help me with my blood sugar stuff

And they fucking just.. assigned me an appointment date with no input from me so of course it's in the middle of a fucking work day and i have no time off left to spend on yaking the day off, and it's late enough in the morning that i can't reaaaally scootch my schedule down..

And like maybe i could find a way to finagle a sick day in there but Apparently

I need Literally All Of Those those to cover my first week off after surgery

Because insurance through work comes in a week After you start your leave, because that's when they approve it (this whole coverage thing is making me so steaming boiling mad regardless, this is just shiny deep red cherry on top of the fucking cake i sweaR TO G O D)

So I don't really want to Do that and loose more pay somewhere else

So now I don't know what to fucking do because i Work when the Doctors Offices are Open (just like.. all of them. In general.) so i can't really reschedule, but cancelling may be a bad idea because i probably won't get to go back until after surgery, if i don't have to go back through the application process to see this doctor anyway.

I'm going to start throwing things and having a breakdown I try to actually start looking after my health and I end up in this situation it's disgusting i'm so pissed off.

#monster noises #it's unconscionable to me that i have to use my Vacation Hours.#my hours for VACATION #to attend doctors appoints without loosing pay.#that is cruel and unfair.#it is Also cruel and unfair that my health coverage won't kick in until the first week after my surgery.#and that it will only cover Half of my regualr pay.#as if the mere act of needing recovery time makes everything Magical Cost Less #so if you see me really start promoting my kofi soon you'll know why #2024 fucked me Up Financially.#i had a big loss early in the year when i had to grocery shop twice on the same paycheck #because of the pre-diabetes business #and with the government stealing my taxes for the past two years because they made a fucking mistake i had no extra little boosts #helping me keep up my buffer #so it's just gotten worse and worse and i've had to dip into my saving buffer i think every month since september #to get through the end of the month #which is just the Best position to be in to go off work for six weeks #but i'm Not postponing surgery #i'll just have to grit my teeth and muddle through #still No clue what to do about this appointment though like Fuck
