Crucible Connections - Active Drug Use, Insulin, and 12 year olds

Crucible Connections is an ongoing series featuring real conversations shared over work e-mail...

I don't even know what to say about this one. Maybe just that I'm not right in the head.

I’m going to replace an important word in our vocabulary, for the moment, with the word “active”.

Yesterday and today I have been so freakin’ “active”.

Like, every fifteen seconds, all I can think about is how “active” I am.

I’m so “active” that it would be unwise (for appearances) to do much walking.

Oh, by the way, Bobby is not working today due to his insulin pump training so I took his email off the chain.

I wonder if he’s feeling “active” today as well. If so, it’s not by my doing.

Oh! Insulin pump training! He can put that on his resume. I was at my sister’s birthday party in Berwyn and this girl came up to the door with a wad of bills in her hands and asked if she could buy a diabetic syringe for her friend. At first we were all freaked out because we thought she was a junkie, but then we realized that she was just a stupid person with a stupid friend who didn’t plan ahead enough to bring her insulin syringes anywhere.

That’s pretty stupid. Did your sister have a supply of syringes? Because that would be odd.

No, she didn’t. And there was a Walgreens like five blocks away. She could’ve walked over there. I was thinking that since a lot of my sister’s friends are really hip and cool and skinny that she thought we were all heroin addicts, but that’s just a theory.

Yeah, but would you really want to use a syringe from a heroin addict for your insulin? That’s more dumb than not bringing the syringe with you in the first place.

Also, my level of “activity” is making it difficult for me to concentrate. I’m thinking about getting a bowlful of ice cubes.

HAHA! Best friends forever. That’s AWESOME.

I always wanted to be a twelve year old girl.

Wait, something about that sounds unwholesome. Perhaps what I mean to say is when I was twelve I always wanted to be a girl.

No. That’s worse.

Um.

BFF! ☻UR2GR8!

I think I might have to vomit now.
