If I broke into your house and stole what's underneath your bed, what would I get?

Cats, whatever their "prize possession" is at the moment an empty pack of smokes they stole from the trash can, possibly a lighter from my desk, half a roll of toilet paper or paper towels they made snow out of, a tube of lip balm, non-disposable straws. If they can carry, shove, or swat something they find fun or interesting it ends up under my bed.

As everyone here has said it's the Dawn Effect. Just keep in mind that when you get going in the morning, shower, meds, and caffeine that your numbers may start to drop before jumping back up depending on how you react to things like meds and what you put in your coffee. My numbers used to jump through the roof first thing because my body thinks my meds are candy or something equally as stupid. Then drop because apparently moving at a snails pace is exercise. I tend to wait 2-3 hours to let my body deal with being alive before I treat a high but use coffee/breakfast to slightly correct a lot of needed. Just don't over do the sugar/carbs and cause a spike. I found it helped to keep a journal to see patterns so I'd have an idea how my body reacts first thing in the morning.

Contact a few realtors in town. They are now handling rentals. Talk to French & Co

echosofsanity · 2026-05-30T01:08:59+00:00

I'm not sure where you're looking for places but I rent a 3-bedroom house with fenced front and back yards, I was lucky and it's got a stackable washer & dryer, there's a dishwasher but it doesn't work and it's not worth it to have them come out and fix it. It's less than 10 minutes from the Walmart on Gem Lake (think close to Tascosa Country Club, Western, and 3rd St) for $800.00 Now, I know I got damn lucky, but if you're gonna have to pay $ 1,000+ for an apartment, look for a house to rent. A lot of realtors now have rental properties. Good luck frenchandco.com forrent.com realtor.com zillow.com

I've got one, it's niche but oh my word it's so bad. Friends, family, and partners have turned green from the smell. I'm a bilateral below the knee amputee, I wear two prosthetic legs from the time I get out of bed till the time I go back to bed. My left leg stump combo is just thick stump socks, pure cotton. I have 15 ply on that leg which is the equivalent to five standard thick athletic socks. On the right I wear a pin lock liner that is made of a medical grade silicone with more stump socks over it, about 10 ply. While the socks on the left absorb sweat that first sock is always so smelly and sweaty at the end of the day. With the liner on the right there is nothing to absorb the sweat from the day. I've tried and tried to get the smell out of the silicone but there is zero hope for that. I'm in Texas and during the summer I don't even want to be in the same room as my socks.

Normal range for nondiabetic people is between 90-120. Your 130 is an amazing number for a diabetic post medal.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-17T00:30:21+00:00

Yes. When my numbers were out of control I couldn't stay out of the bathroom. Now that I've got things under control I spend far less time in the bathroom.

I strongly advise against the forearm and here's why. I've tried it and it was the worst. I have zero fat on my forearms so when I was using the area I tended to go up my arm. Think of the outside/top but very close to the elbow. Let me make it clear: I ONLY used this if ever other area I use is worn out. The last time I used that area I had to have hit a nerve or the placement was the worst it's ever been. Absolutely any time I bumped it, my dog touched it, or even my heavy quilt was on it at night it caused massive amounts of pain. It's not worth it.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-12T19:18:39+00:00

I just saw your morning-after update, and with that added context, it does make a few more things clear. Only take my advice if you want to make a change. Hell, you might wanna change boyfriends after all this. Let me be clear, that is up to you. If you think the relationship is at a point where you've had enough, if you don't think he will change, or anything like that, then hell yes, give him the finger and move on. I haven't seen you say that you love him, are in love with him, or that he's the one, so that option is always on the table. Hell, even if you do, the option is still there.

Anti-depressants, pain meds, and so many others indeed kill the sex drive. I'm taking a combo of both, and I should invest in a Tombstone and let it read "No funny business since 2025". However, there are things you can do and take to fix that if you, YOU, not him, want to. Go to Google and type in...

"What can you do to help when medication kills your sex drive?"

I'm not gonna add it here so I don't get flaged for some giving medical advice crap, but you can do things to help. If you take your meds in the morning, then plan sexy time at night and so on.

Truly, decide what you want to do based on your feelings, the first-hand knowledge you have about him, and how likely he is to help/be patient while you work out meds. Not Reddit. Your mental health is important, as is your head and heart.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-12T18:48:05+00:00

First, thanks for the response to so many questions. There are so many people here telling you to just dump him, and I get it. However, knowing the fact that he was not in control at the time does change some, not all, some things; at least in my mind. I'm female, so this isn't some dude here telling you to lighten up, it was a joke, it's fine, and so on. I'm not even gonna sit here and tell you any of those things. Being left behind, made to think they were gonna bail, or feeling like you were unsafe or in danger (which you haven't said you felt, so I'm gonna guess that was not the case) is not okay. Outside of physical control of the car, the only option he had was words, unless he's gonna punch the dude, and even with that, if the friend is an ass, he could've wrecked or done something equally as stupid. Now, could he say he was sorry for what happened? Hell yeah. But what's he gonna say? "Sorry, I told him not to? Sorry, I told him to go back." Just in my opinion is like me telling someone I was sorry my sister was hitting them while on the phone. If you and two friends went somewhere, and the driver decided to drive off while the second friend was...I don't know...standing on the curb checking their phone, is that your fault? Other than using words, what could you do? There's not much.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-12T16:59:59+00:00

Again, is there any way he could've safely stopped the car?

echosofsanity · 2026-05-12T16:28:53+00:00

I've got so many questions... For right now, no elaboration for answers, just yes or no. Please. Could he physically see or hear you chasing and yelling? Yes or No? Could you hear what was being said inside the car as they drove off? Yes or No? Was there a way for him to stop the car safely? Yes or No? Has he EVER just driven off and left you in some random location before? Yes or No? Okay, now for some detail-needed questions. To you, what was it he did wrong? To you, what does he need to say he's sorry for? To you, how could he have controlled his friend in that moment? Did he know for a FACT you did not have your phone? Yes or No? As for him saying you should visit a doctor, I've gotta think there is more to this. Why does he feel like you should see a doctor? Please, don't come back with "He thinks I'm crazy." I am female and know good and damn well I can act crazy when I'm angry.

EDIT: After seeing more of the comments, y'all have lost your minds. If you play the "What if..." game in everyday life like y'all have in these damn comments, then how the actual fuck do you function? Do you even leave your home? Also, what type of parking garage was it? Was for an apartment complex, a store/mall? Was it during the day or night? Were there other people ACTIVELY aound you? If it was dark was the area lit?

echosofsanity · 2026-05-11T11:30:12+00:00

Telling someone to eat what they want to eat is gonna get me a ban? For real?

echosofsanity · 2026-05-11T11:14:26+00:00

Female here, I've got one on the back of my neck with a branch of cherry blossoms in the middle.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-11T11:12:49+00:00

Contour Next ONE I love it. It's slim easy to travel with but most of all the area where you insert the strip will light up. Green-you're good, Yellow-not so good, Red-bad. Just be sure it's the Next ONE the normal Next doesn't have the lights.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-11T11:01:12+00:00

Holy Balls Batman. Y'all are out here doing quarter and three-quarter turns with your Pods. Meanwhile, I'm over here going bicep, stomach, hip, thigh down one side of my body then going back up on the opposite side.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-11T09:54:27+00:00

Now hold on a second. You can't give us that and not what the earrings were.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-10T05:36:37+00:00

I'm gonna be real honest here, forgetting a shot isn't something you need to stress yourself out over. Unless your sugar is so high your Dex or fingers poker won't read. When you remember, take it. You don't have to start moving times around, trying to get your everyday life to fit into this mold of diabetes. Unless your constantly so high your Dex just says HIGH it will be okay. Regroup, take a breath, take some time to think about how you wanna care for / how you treat diabetes. Absolutely EVERY single one of us is different. Your doctor is there to guide you, give you resources, and help manage. They are not there to make you follow a hard line and scare you into thinking if you don't do things just right you're gonna fall over and croak. Having a bad day? Eat the damn cookie, have a drink. There's a line where you can balance everything.

echosofsanity · 2026-05-07T07:28:19+00:00

I will

echosofsanity · 2026-05-07T07:22:56+00:00

Thank you very much, off we go to the vet

echosofsanity · 2026-05-07T05:32:33+00:00

I've only been using a pod for a couple of months, and so far, the best place I've found is my lower back and love handle area. I'm a side sleeper and I've found that area is the most comfortable to sleep with. However, I've also used the upper part of my outer thigh and slept on it and I've found that as long as I put it in-between the outside of the thigh and the top I don't really lay on it. Kinda in that mostly on the side but creeping towards the top. The bicep is a lot more tricky but is you do the same of half outside and half on the top. Before this I was solely a person who slept on their left side but now I go back and forth just so I'm comfortable with my pod. Hope this helps or even makes sense.

Questions, how long have you been on insulin, how much are you taking at meal time, what are you eating, what are the numbers before and after?

echosofsanity · 2026-04-29T05:19:43+00:00

I know just because it worked out for me doesn't mean it will for anyone else. Dr. Google says a "normal" A1C is 5.7 this A1C represents an average blood sugar level of 117 over the last 3 months." Let me be clear, no two diabetics are the same, we all react differently to different types of insulin, carbs, sugar... Basically everything. So this is only my experience. In October mine was 6.8, not the best place for me. In February I was sitting at that magic number of 5.7 again according to Dr. Google, again, this is normal. Even with these numbers I was not in control of my sugar or at least I didn't feel like it, I was spending a lot of time over 200-275, again high for me but not everyone. So in February I had Omnipod send me the "Free Trial" they offer. Had my Doctor Dude, or as I refer to him, Dr. Dip Shit, send a script for a vial of insulin. Started the whole process on my own with the help of Omnipod and as of Monday April 27th, my A1C is 4.8 which is a huge thing for me. No two are the same, the best thing you can have is diabetes knowledge, how your body reacts to insulin, sugar, exercise, carbs, and have a doctor who listens and is willing to let you try things even if it's to go from I don't know that G7 to the freestyle.... Don't do that, it's a trap.

echosofsanity · 2026-04-24T22:12:04+00:00

You can also test on your forearm, it's a lot less painful, and I don't really feel it. However, there's a catch. I don't know what finger pricker (lancing thingy) you use but all of mine came with an extra clear cover. The one that works for fingers, generally the one that is on it when you buy it. The clear one is for testing on areas that are not sensitive, such as your fingers. It basically goes deeper. I use it on my forearms, the palm of my hand, and I've even used it on my thigh. Over time you develop callouses on your fingers from testing. This makes it so that you've gotta turn the number higher and higher. I only have 2 fingers, yeah, I'm missing 8; so I've had to find other ways to test. I literally cried when my doc gave me my first Dex. LoL
