I sincerely apologize for my lack of blogging. If I had an
excuse, I would use it… but I don’t. In the time since I last blogged, I got the
stomach flu twice, ended up in the hospital both times, celebrated Christmas
with my family, rang in the New Year with my brother and his friends, entered into
hell week for show choir which actually lasted about two weeks, and made way
too many cupcakes. I started some new medicine as a preventative action against
the stomach flu as well as influenza A which has made its way to my dad,
brother, and brother’s girlfriend who all live in the same house as myself and
luckily have not infected me… yet. (Knock on wood.)
Having diabetes is an added challenge when it comes to
illness outbreaks, especially during the winter. I become a slight “germaphobe” from November
until mid to late March. Carrying hand sanitizer is a must, changing clothes
when someone coughs or sneezes on me is almost instantaneous, and wiping down
desks, railings, and doorknobs is a habit. Getting sick is extremely dangerous
for diabetics and being a high school student makes it worse. Each missed day of
school adds more pressure to get back on track. Unfortunately for me, I’m still
trying to get caught up from earlier in second trimester.
Again, I’m sorry I haven’t been blogging regularly and I
promise I’m as disappointed in me as you are. My grade has been affected and my
parents have hopped on me about it. You have my word that starting on Monday,
January 13, 2013; I will keep up with my blog.
