I had to take a couple days off after blogging for a month straight. Nice to be able to do that. Not so much with diabetes. Funny thing is that managing diabetes every day is much easier for me than blogging every day. Social media is overwhelming!
Just as we constantly look at numbers – blood glucose levels, A1C results – and often mistake them for our self worth, I find myself checking for that blinking green light on my phone. Any new comments? Any new follows? Retweets? Mentions? It’s out of control!
I know I have to (and will) settle into a nice, reasonable routine with social media. Diabetes already has its routine in my life, and that won’t change. And I have no doubt that something else will come along and take over my life – for as long as I let it. It’s good to know that I’m in charge.
