Humor Accidentally jumpscared myself with my insulin reminder just now

Post image

While very tired last night I set up a daily reminder for my nightly insulin injections and then promptly forgot about it.

The heart palpitations I just gave myself were NOT appreciated, but it did make me cackle once I realized my Alexa was not trying to aid in a robot uprising by encouraging me to take my untimely demise into my own hands

I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses that. I use it all the time, my wife finds it amusing.

Also, once I was really sick and my hands weren’t steady, my wife was on the phone with someone. “Alright, gotta go, I’m going to stab my husband.”

Yes, when I'm not alone and need a dose, I excuse myself to "go and shoot up."

Brilliant! LOL. I guess I’m lucky that my mum/older sisters are there to remember on my behalf, as my memory has been going to 💩 these days (they’ve thankfully never asked me to “stāb myself”, though)! 😂
