A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Ineffective

Disclaimer: the title of this post was just something I thought was clever.  It has nothing to do with the post.

I don't believe in karma.  I don't think there's any cosmic force keeping things in balance.  I'm a nonbeliver.  But if I did, this would certainly support the hypothesis.

In the middle of the summer, one night at camp, one of my great loves in life, I sent a text message to a few people close to me.  I don't remember the wording, but it was something close to this:

"This might just be late night ramblings, but between camp and school, I'm about as happy as I've ever been."

Happiness cometh, happiness leaveth.  Or something like that.

The precipice I fell down was steep and sudden.  It changed my life.  It made me not enjoy the things I used to enjoy.  It made me think differently.  It made me think badly.  It took away the ability to care about things I once cared about.  It took away from me.

For want of not turning this, once again, into a livejournal, I'll leave things there and get back to the disease.

I successfully traveled with diabetes, although insulin in a moving bus was a terrible experience.
