Took a bit of a short break for the weekend because I was getting disheartened and needed a little space to breathe and think. It's hard to remind myself that we're only just starting this journey with Sherlock and I can't expect an overnight fix. You know, it's almost funny when I really get some perspective on it, because I was so afraid to start insulin again after what happened to my sweet Ianto bear, and now I'm feeling impatient that this isn't working fast enough. I mean. I'd rather be gentle than go too fast and have a crisis, so I just need to keep that framework in my head on days when I get flustered that the numbers seem to be tracking the absolutely wrong direction. High is bad, yes... but bottoming out too fast is way, way worse.

Anyway. I hope everyone had a marvelous weekend. Tomorrow is Halloween, which is my favorite holiday. I'm a little disappointed that it might rain here, but... if it does, and we have a shortage of kids stop by... that's just more candy that I get to keep, right? There's a silver lining for everything.

Hey, it's ok to take a breather. You aren't obligated to post daily, it's just a heads up for what's happening with the puddies. And, of course, if you feel you need advice or help, that option is always there. I sure hope you have a great time tomorrow, and the rain holds off. Hugs to Sherlock, DW and yourself. (When you write your memoirs you can truthfully state that you participated in a marathon.)

Thank you so much. You're always so kind when you check in and I appreciate it so much. I just had one of those moments where I felt like I was doing everything wrong and DW had to talk me off the ledge. Phew. Sherlock is here hugged up against my thigh so I know we're okay. I just have doubts sometimes. But it helps to check in here when my brain is right. When it's not, hooboy. Scary.
