Or; People Aren't As Bad As I Sometimes Think They Are.

My Dear Santa letter the other day was my usual somewhat sarcastic offering, something I tossed off as I was perusing the Salter scale website and lusting after that sweet, sex-ay model they have. I threw in the other two items to make up a list.

Someone on the TuDiabetes site saw it, though, and asked if she could buy the pump skins for Olivia. I was slightly embarrassed, hoping that no one mistook my usual snark-fest as actual requests for gifts. When she assured me that was not the case, that she just wanted to do something nice because "it's hard enough being a teenager with diabetes," I said yes.

The skins arrived today and Olivia wasted no time in having me apply one of them. The tie dyed one. It was, in her words "Sweet!" Which made me laugh.

It was a very nice early Christmas present. And she will be sending off a thank you email tonight.

Once again, I'm gobsmacked by the sheer niceness of the diabetes online community. It makes my curmudgeonly little heart get all verklempt.
