You know what was great about cold weather? Having really high blood sugar all the time. This was not fun at all.The twelve year old had bundled up in a warm coat and boots for the trek down to the barns area for care of magical creatures class. Usually, she enjoyed learning about and working with the animals, but Cordelia wasn’t really feeling it today. Right now she was feeling more tired and cranky than excited. Thirsty too, so thirsty. She took some consolation in the fact that it was warmer once she reached the area outside the barn where the lesson was to be held. ”Professor,” she curtly greeted the man as she arrived. Taking a seat on a hay bale, Cordelia pulled out her water bottle from her bag. She twisted the cap off and raised the bottle to her lips. Tipping her head back, she could feel the cold liquid trickling down her throat in her quest to quench her insatiable thirst. Screwing the cap back on, Cordelia put the water bottle down so she could take off her coat. She pulled out her blood sugar testing kit, stuck a clean strip in her meter, pricked her finger, squeezed a drop of blood onto the strip, waited a few seconds to see the number, and shoved the whole kit back into her bag. Licking the remaining blood off her finger with no shame, Cordelia pulled her insulin pump out of her pocket and made some adjustments for it to deliver more insulin. When she was done, she returned it to her pocket. Now, whatever Professor Wayland had for them today had better be something cute and fuzzy. Or a unicorn. Cordelia still hadn’t seen a unicorn yet. She really needed to ask Professor Wayland sometime if there was any chance of her ever being able to see a real unicorn. Unicorns were her favorite. Things that liked cuddles would also be accepted.
