It Christmas

138 points of excitement.

87 – 225 = 138 sweet points of excitement.

Christmas morning 6:30AM, children bring stockings parents’ bed. BG 87. Open-open-open. 7AM Bigfoot Spouse brilliant idea now you can play with the things from your stocking for an hour while Mum and I sleep.

8:15AM. Can we have cocoa? 237. Hwah? Not eat anything yet. C’est impossible. You must have got sugar on your hands from something in your stocking. Wash-wash-wash. 225. It for real.

I forgot to take pictures. Here are some delicious and overlooked pistachios.

Some delicious, overlooked pistachios.

Fast forward 9:45AM. Brunch guests due 15 minutes, Uh-oh. Bigfoot not dressed. One arrive, frowning deeply w pie. Next guest arrive sans spouse, slip Bigfoot intriguing slim box she wanted me to make sure you had this. It some kind psilocybin cookie*? Next person arrive, start feed dog grapes. Phone ring. A Jew—it Bubs’s godfather. Oh! I just realized! I shouldn’t be calling—is it Christmas? Bubs hungry Can I have a piece of this coffee cake? 166. Swag 40g. (2h pp: 168.) (!) Bigfoot make bellinis. Very delicious cheap Cupcake Prosecco. Little bit too delicious, Bigfoot quickly tipsy. Lone Jew arrive w gift: combination football/frisbee. Everything seem slightly make-believe. Football frisbee? Bigfoot Spouse notice Bigfoot father eating ancient pork tenderloin (dog training tool) from grimy old Ziploc. Everyone open gifts. Oooh, ahhh. Frown person frowning. Scene pretty much like this, but fewer people/less confetti.

Socks in action.

Socks in action.

All day, gifts-drinks-tipsy-swagging. Guessing cookies (it not Bigfoot place brag, but) Bubs so skilled now. Overhear authoritatively tell father no, those gingerbread men are seven. The doodads are six. Or this: Could you cut that a little bit smaller? I was thinking more like 30 grams. All day BG OK. Tipsy Bigfoot not kill anyone, grapes not kill dog. Christmas miracle.

Other miracle: Bubs receive proverbial dreaded gift: socks! But LOVE. You don’t mind that I gave you socks?

BUBS: I would, but THESE socks are AWESOME

This huge life improvement, because very (very) difficult find socks Bubs consider comfy. Only mention because so many (or two other) T1 children very selective re fabrics, clothing, tags, etc. Maybe this thin merino sock appeal other children?

Also meant say this: Merry Christmas! (If swing that way.) Hope BG #s allow sleep in heav-en-ly pea—eace, slee-eep in heavenly peace.

Santenicklaus

Something new

Can you spot the new bracelet?

Ho ho ho. Bigfoot learn this fact Says You: over time, natural lazy speaker say Saint Nicholas, thick-tongue morph Santenicklas (picture drunk Eastern European accent), eventually become Santa Claus. <–It blow mind?

Meanwhile. Wow–remember how long time find medical ID bracelet Bubs consider comfortable. Dx August 2011 – Christmas 2011, probably spend $7,000 medical ID bracelet alone.

Once find happy bracelet, Bubs never take off. Salt water, chlorine, Neutrogena Rainbath, muddy recess, etc. After 350+ days, pretty battered. Lucky = same day Bigfoot notice bracelet so worn out illegible, new bracelet arrive.

More luck: new bracelet familiar, comfy velcro style. PLUS:

  • Medical ID “Pull Tag”–it sort of fabric-paper combo, sewn-in strip. Very sturdy. (Old bracelet information strip paper, fall out, lost)
  • Reflective tape for bicycle/pedestrian safety
  • Comfortable right away, not itchy, no complain.

Maybe this seem like paid advertisement Tallygear. Ethics: Bigfoot probably need mention Tallygear mail Bubs bracelet free, but not exchange ad. Bigfoot only write about because so rare find comfortable bracelet, consider public service share news.

That said, even Bigfoot realize not OK give T1boy diabetes bracelet Christmas stocking. Maybe OK for T1 girl if Tiffany charm super fancy princess type. Few other items not OK for diabetic child stocking: No Humalog. No meter strip canister even if decorate w/google-eye pompon guy. No glucose tab holder keychain, no hypoglycemia-specific candy (Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish.) Worse than socks.

It Bubs review some other OK Medical ID of past:

Road ID: initially seem perfect bracelet. Rubber Livestrong-style band w/ engraved metal plate. But not perfect Bubs because fiddle/stretch/chew rubber, metal plate fall off, v. expensive replace

Macrame w. metal plate: chic tween boy styling, but metal plate feel too cold, too hot, too sticky. String part instantly dirty

Classic metal: points for legible/tradition, but too tight, too loose, too slippery, too shivery, too elderly

Dog Tag necklace: A+ for highly coveted soldier vibe; too long, too swishing-around, too tempting put in mouth, too tempting other person grab during tag.

Sugarlax

I didn't buy this

I didn’t buy this

Some of the necessary colors

Some of the necessary colors

It Christmas cookie time. Usually fill every small bowl confectionery sugar, add dribble cream/glob cream cheese/butter/whatever, let boys mix/add food coloring, make many colors, decorate cookies, huge messy fun. Also tradition.

Whatever reason, this year Bigfoot overwhelmed. Then spot this on location Shaw’s Market, Barrington. It Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Sugar Free Vanilla frosting.

17g CHO for 2T, vs. 22g CHO for the regular frosting. But 10g of the 17g is sugar alcohols. Which rocket straight out of the butt before being metabolized?

17g CHO for 2T, vs. 22g CHO for the regular frosting. But 10g of the 17g is sugar alcohols. Which, from what I understand, shoot straight out of the butt without being metabolized.

Think oooh. Simply buy this, Bubs/Jack add colors, probably taste bad, that OK. Check label for carb. Not so low: 17g instead of 22g. But 17g -10g (sugar alcohols) = 7g CHO. 7g much better than 22g. Maybe buy?

Then see warning. Laxative effect! Learn over, over, over again: just have normal sugar food, smaller amount.

That's not merry. That's not yummy.

It’s not merry, but it does have a patent (pending).
