Definitely a positive with having diabetes! 

The advancement of medicine is pretty amazing. If it wasn't for Imitrex, I would be in bed mostly with migraines

Haha - no ! A stone in weight ... thankfully, the bathroom scales started to recognise me as a single unit instead of a coach trip.

And - lazy is good - one of my best afternoons is doing nothing and then having a good ol' rest afterwards.

It is certainly to be recommended, Jonathan - pity that it comes that bit later in life ! And - as a number of my former colleagues also agree - I'm not quite sure how I ever found time to fit in a job ! Now I can fill my days with cooking, painting, twiddling a bit on the guitar, nodding off at random moments, wondering what day it is or if I can remember my own name ...

At the moment, I'm working from 6.30am until 5pm without nary a break (electronics is a crazy business!). I still check on work stuff in the evening and at weekends too, which has hindered my side hustle as a writer.

I was recently let go from my job of nearly 25 years and decided to just retire. I definitely feel blessed to be in a position to do so comfortably.

Could be it's your mutant power?
