The kid Iโm working with today pokes my continuous glucose monitor on my arm and gasps and goes, โYouโre a robot!โ ๐๐๐ #justdiabeticthings
Today a girl asked when I graduated high school and I said 2014 and she was like โโฆthat was like.. a long time agoโฆโ mmm girl WHAT U TRYINA CALL ME OLD
*me at a daycare today during free time*
Kid: the coffee shop is closed
Me: ugh bummer!
Kid: yeah for 5 months
Me: oh wow thatโs a long time
Kid: yeah itโs because of the virus
โฆSo I guess this is pretend play now
I think my favorite part of school during a pandemic is the fact that first graders canโt really say, โhand sanitizer,โ so instead they just say, โhanitizerโ and I think itโs much better that way.
3 years ago I almost slipped into a coma and died. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
I paid $684 for my first 30-day supply of insulin. Some pay $1000+ a month. Many die without it.
Today I introduced legislation to cap the price of insulin at $50 a month. #txlege
