Intake (to jail) Interview
Back in March, I registered to go to Diabetes Training Camp this fall in Snowmass, CO. This was before I became a triathlete, it was back when I was just fighting with my blood sugars when I was cycling. Then came along all the triathlon stuff, boy can I say that I’m happy I’m going to training camp…I need some assistance handling the diabetes while I’m busy being an athlete. At this very moment, I’m just 3 and a half weeks away from being in Snowmass. As the time to arrive at camp approaches, the coordinators are taking care of business at their end.
I got an interview saying I had to fill out an incredibly long questionnaire (which asked some rather hard questions in my opinion) before I could get my appoint for my intake interview. There was a whole section on ranking things from 1 to 7. 1 being not a problem and 7 being a very serious problem. And there were questions about people to which I was like, whatever, it’s not their problem, it’s my problem. And then there were questions like feeling angry or overwhelmed or unmotivated and those are the ones that ranked high on my list (and there were only 17 of these, the whole questionnaire was like 8 pages long). There was all kinds of stuff, everything about me and my diabetes, my doctors, etc, blah blah blah…but that’s not the best part of it all.
So then, after I answered everything and submitted it, I get an email about scheduling my intake interview (this is the best part). Now, this is where my brain just sort of wandered off into left field. Intake interview I thought. It’s like I’m going to jail or something and they’re trying to figure out whether I need to be put in a padded cell, a regular cell all by myself, or if I’m safe enough to be put into a cell with other people.
I have my intake interview next week, I’ll let you know what cell I’m getting tossed into at that point

Nice! i went to the Chicago camp in June, it was amazing. I wish I could go again. You’re going to be so glad you went!

You know, a padded cell would be more comfortable for when I get bored because I’m all by myself in a cell with nothing to do and thus I decide to start banging my head against the wall…
