My fellow white folks: This #MLKDay, if you haven't read the Letter from a Birmingham Jail, you have homework to do. If you have read it, it's about time to give it a good reread.

Today is dreary in prep for the deep freeze but yesterday was sunny and nice. And Orion is feeling enough like himself to rest in his usual spots. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #DailyMonochromeCats

I don't think this is what "sunbathing" means, but I will accept this definition. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #DailyMonochromeCats #OnlyBeans

Good Orion news! He's still not feeling great but he's well enough to climb into his window seat. His meds are going to take a couple days to build up enough to really have an effect, but he's still improving. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #DailyMonochromeCats

Ah, and there's the intense cat stare. Just resting his head on my chest pillows, as cats do. That's what they're for. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #DailyMonochromeCats

This is the exact same sunbeam as Orion was in yesterday, I'm glad they can share. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #DailyMonochromeCats

This sunbeam was actually a double, tomorrow's cat spam is Charlie in the same one. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #DailyMonochromeCats

And that's it, aside from some folded-up cheat sheets that were tucked in (and a bookmark from the Manistee County Library in St. Cloud, Minnesota).

Thank you all for coming with me in this journey, y'all.

On to the appendices! This book is about 40% appendix.

There's a copy of the ADA's diabetic ID card and a recommendation to get "dog tags" or a bracelet.

The strengths of insulin at the time are listed as U-40, U-80, and U-100.

Oooh, and step-by-step instructions for the various urine tests. Wow, that looks like a pain to do four times a day.

...And I'm skipping the rest because it's specific height/weight charts and sample diets and there's no need to share those.

There's a chapter on a camp for diabetic children! I wonder if it's going to mention Camp Jened at all. ("Crip Camp" is quite a good documentary, incidentally.)

(It didn't, but that's OK.)

...Just a digression on how to sharpen needles, like it's a thing you do every day. I suppose it would have been. (It also points out that disposable needles are a thing at that point and you should really consider getting them. Retro!)

Also a section on tuberculosis as a diabetic complication. Which I'm lucky enough to have never had to think about but it absolutely would be. TB is a bugger.

Aaaaah, and 110 pages in and we get to the exchange system. Dear holy fluffy goddess, am I ever glad I missed out on that.

The list of treatments for lows includes glucose tablets, juice, soda, and something called Air-Bons that I'd never heard of, but apparently they're still a thing. They're butter mints, from the looks of it. Makes sense.

Lots of talk about calories in the "diet" chapter but very little on specific values (ie. grams of carbs). ...Which, apparently the Nutrition Facts label in the US started in 1994? That's newer than I thought.
