I’m down to my last 2 pods… and am all sorts of sad at the idea of moving on. I keep telling myself I’m just pump-tasting, and goodbye is not forever… and then still feel sad. 
Regardless. There’s been a lot to tend to over the last few days, but I wanted to put this in here before it all fades from memory…

Butt pods. You guys really, really seem to like your butt pods. So I tried one, and I’m not sold. My main problem is that I bumped everything with it, and I wonder if I didn’t actually knock it a little loose. I also had difficulty with my pants as I usually roll over the top of mine, and it seemed to rest up against my pod, possibly making the whole thing worse. So on the next round, if there is one, I’ll have to ask for placement ideas first to see if I can’t get better results.

I’m not sure why I’m numbering these. Everything seemed to fit in number one.
Today my blood sugar began to rise around 2 or 3:00 in the afternoon. Prior to the rise, I had come home, eaten some chips, bolused generously with an IM shot, and then proceeded to have a coffee. I even did a second IM bolus for that (and to cover the chips I didn’t cover in the first). My blood sugar started at around a 130 and continued to rise all the way to almost 400 by about 5:30 pm. I did an additional IM shot as a correction around 4:30 but didn’t see any improvement. I am not positive I was getting insulin either way though—- through pump it injections— as I may have been losing insulin through a leak? And may have been filling my syringe with air. I was at the end of my vial, tired, and filling my syringe without my glasses. I filled it 3 or 4 times under those conditions for a total of maybe 10 units of insulin and can’t believe I could’ve gotten any of it with the way I continued that steady, uninterrupted rise.
Anyway. Theories, theories, theories. Lesson: next time just put on the glasses and eliminate one possible cause.
