Diabetes + Pride + Being Wifty = Me On Thursday Morning. #fact

     Yesterday morning I woke up, made coffee, showered and got ready to go to work.

Yesterday morning I woke up, made coffee, showered and got ready to go to work. 

And about 15 minutes before heading out the door, I filled up a new reservoir for my insulin pump - And I was pretty damn proud of myself for not leaving the house with only 5 units in my reservoir. 

Yep, I was proud, I knew what I was doing - And if memory serves me correctly, I even uttered the phrase: I ROCK! 

While I was waiting for my pump to rewind, I placed the pump on my bed and decided to be all super delicious efficient.

I went to the kitchen with my new filled reservoir in hand, tossed out the empty bottle of half and half that was perched on the counter into the recyclables; unplugged my coffee maker, grabbed a granola bar and went back to my bedroom to finish up with my pump. 

And the moment I picked up my new tubing was the very moment I realized that I had no idea where my newly filled insulin reservoir was.

I checked on my bed and under it - NOTHING. I went back into the kitchen and checked the counter and then I dug through the bag of recyclables and again - NOTHING.

I went and checked on the bathroom counter even though I didn't remember going in there - Just in case - And nothing! 

I even looked in my jewelry box because I'd gone in there to get the necklace I was currently wearing - Also, things that sparkle tend to easily distract me. 
It wasn't in my jewelry box either, but I did find the mate to an earring I'd been looking for on Saturday... so that was one mystery solved. 

Wherever that brand spanking new filled reservoir was, I couldn't find it - And I needed to get to work. 

Yeah, so much for me ROCKING.

But I didn't have time to dwell on it because the clock was ticking. 

I grabbed another reservoir; filled it with insulin, attached it to the new tubing, primed it, put on my coat, grabbed my bag and keys and high tailed it out the door. 

And yep, I felt like a total idiot & I was mad about the wasted insulin - And I knew that I was darn lucky to have plenty of backup pancreas juice on hand. 

But still, I had to laugh because it was kind of funny. 

Me being all proud and full of myself for remembering to change out my reservoir before I left the house in the morning, only to misplace the new one and waste more time in the process - Yeah, I got it together - NOT SO MUCH. 

For the record: I still haven't found that reservoir & and that granola bar I grabbed  to take to work yesterday stayed on my bed because I forgot it.
But lucky for me I had an extra one in my bag ;) 

Anyone else out there have any other "wifty" diabetes moves as of late that you'd care to share?
