I spend a lot of time thinking about if I will ever have complications from my diabetes. The very thought of diabetes problems scares the crap out of me. My determination to ward of complications has a direct correlation with how I control my sugars on a daily basis. In other words, every time I treat a low or a high, thoughts of amputations or blindness are running through my head. Those fears are some BIG MOTIVATORS. I don't want to come across as the guy who just sits around and waits for something bad to happen. I am not the type of person who just mopes around hopelessly or just sits around thinking of nothing else but diabetes issues. I try to stay positive most of the time. My glass is usually "half full" rarely "half empty." (READ MORE)

In yesterdays post, Lantus and late night lows, I discussed lowering my basal dose. I had read an article where a type 1 diabetic endocrinologist proposed taking less insulin for someone my size. I was taking 17 or 18 units of Lantus each morning and he stated that I only needed about 12-15. I have tried my new morning dose of 15 and so far I feel I need a few more "test run" days.

I'm sorry I've been absent here...

 

Things are changing in my life - again.  In the next 60 days, I'll be moving out of my apartment and into a new place.  This is not bad news, as it's the right thing to do.  But the past several months have been challenging, and the next couple are promising to be tough.

My mind is currently in a million places at the moment. I'm in the middle of a tough decision and waiting game. I'm slightly stressed. And I'm closely watching how my Lantus change is affecting my numbers. So I'm going to take the easy way out and bullet point what's on my mind.

I interviewed with them on Tuesday. For some reason, I wasn't nervous or concerned about this job. My interview went well; she seemed to like me and basically told me that they'd be moving forward. The very next morning, I got a call asking to do just that. I didn't return the call so by the afternoon, I had another message saying they wanted to hire me. I called Thursday to set up the next steps.

 

And yesterday, I went into their office unsure what I was feeling exactly. I knew it was a great job and I felt sure I'd get it, but I hadn't clicked with them at my first interview. I met with one of the executives and filled out all the necessary paperwork. As I sat there realizing that I was getting this job, I felt at peace.

I'm feeling a strange mix of emotions these past few days. Maybe it's getting back home from my European extravaganza. Or maybe it's just a normal emotional procedure for the place that I'm at in life.

 

The jarring part of it all is that I'm really not sure WHAT I'm feeling. I'm feeling something, lots of things. But I just can't seem to place actual names and terms with the emotions. I'm trying, but it doesn't seem to be working.

 

A big part of me is just feeling really raw with everything that is going on. Raw is a term that I really like to use in my emotional life. It fits a lot of emotions and it's a strong term. Raw is the feeling that your guts are hanging out for the world to see. Raw is the way it feels to remove a bandaid, to start something new, or to hit rock bottom. It's everything and anything you want it to be.

It's been a bit hectic this past week trying to get things in order before I start the new job tomorrow. I got my second laser resurfacing done on my face, I've been shopping for new clothes, and I've been trying to catch up on rest, cleaning, and general nonsense before entering adulthood once again.

 

I'm very excited to embark on this adventure. I feel assured that God is leading me to great places and CASA is the place that I'm going to feel like I'm not only empacting peoples' lives but I'm also being empacted by others. I am so ready to feel responsible for things again, to feel like I'm on top of things, and to feel like my life has value in the workforce.

Moving back home has been an interesting transition. The physical moving process was challenging (getting a mover, sending my things to 2 separate places for now, and then the unpacking ordeal that has yet to be complete). Emotionally, it's also been challenging.

 

My mom and I generally get along. There really is nothing to fight about at this stage in my life. But it's still difficult to move in with someone when you've been living on your own for two years. The last time that I lived here full time (as in longer than a weekend or week at Christmas) was back in 2008. I'd forgotten how it feels.

 

There's a relief when I know that someone will be home. It's less frightening and less lonely to come home when someone else is on their way. I had two bad night lows last week and nearly called out for my mom. Even though I didn't in the end, I still knew that if something happened, someone is here to have my back.

It's been an entire week since I moved. I can't even believe that this past week has gone by so quickly. I suppose that's what the unpacking, organizing, and shopping does. It's been such a busy week that I'm not even sure exactly how I feel about it all.

 

I've gotten to spend time with Marvin which has been both a nice change and a help to getting settled. He and his family have made this transition much easier. I'm looking forward to getting back into a dating routine that I so strongly missed over the summer. Friday night dinner and movie dates are way too vital for me.

As my birthday approaches in the next few days, my mind has certainly been on moving forward and getting older. I'm turning 23 and this year feels incredibly important. I am one step further from the "youth" of 21 and closer to the "milestone" of 25. This year feels like big changes are happening, good things are going on, and progress is being made.

 

This year has given me more wisdom than I really cared to learn. This year has been incredibly difficult, but also delightful and humbling. This year I've looked back and realized some of those "what I wish I knew then" moments.

 

What I wish I knew then and what I know now:
