Behold! This is the short bio that will appear beneath the posts! I should probably update this to reflect my accomplishments and writing goals but I won't be doing that today. I don't know why my photo isn't showing up. I promise I am not a gingerbread cookie cutout.

I'm glad you're here.
And this is a subtitle that’s not well-thought out. Back in my blogging days, when I wrote on Six Until Me, the posts were almost entirely diabetes-centric. And at the time, that theme made so much sense because I wasn’t sharing any of my diabetes thoughts with my family and…
All dolled up with diabetes. Stacey McGill was really important to me. She wasn’t a real person, though. One hundred percent made up, disease-introduction inspired by two of the author’s friends. Stacey was a member of fictional and wildly popular Baby-Sitter’s Club from the books by Ann M. Martin. Good…
I hate coloring my hair; it’s expensive, takes up a pile of time, and needs repeating a few weeks later. I hate not coloring my hair because it’s beginning to turn gray. I kind of want it to turn into snakes so it has some purpose other than to irritate me. I…
Putting my teeth in to gum down a banana … it will make sense by the end of this essay. A few weeks ago, I put a new infusion set into the back of my hip. The site location was a departure from my preferred back-of-the-arm location as I need…
plumbing the depths of my abilities My kids have a bathroom that they share, creating the opportunity for drains to be clogged by stickers, brace elastics, one of those little plastic ducks I find everywhere, and other assorted plagues.

“And you’re aware that the injection will raise your blood sugars” … hah ha hahaahhaahha “The x-ray doesn’t show frozen shoulder, but it does help rule out things like arthritis, so from what we can see, your shoulder looks good,” the clinician said, turning from the x-ray to me. “Now…
Keeping the ol’ toothies clean I saw it on a commercial back in the day and immediately wanted one. The red fire hydrant sprinkler, it’s stout cylindrical body and yellow top standing at attention until you turned the hose on, and then all bets were frigging off because the water would come out…
My drinking sort of petered out. During hot COVID, I stopped drinking. The world was lurching out of orbit and I took the reins on anything and everything I could. So while lots of my friends and colleagues were enjoying a glass of wine, or leaning on it to dull…
A friend picked up painting canvases from a local paint store and dropped them to our house. We didn’t get close to one another, and the interaction was awkwardly distanced as we waltzed around her car. “Let’s have the kids get together on Facetime tomorrow. They can paint together, and…
