Contradictions

After work yesterday I went to get Ingo a book (yes, a book! More on that later) - took me two minutes to get there. How.Cool.Is.That?!

On the way I went by this new business...

... and I wondered.

Not that much that people pay for some beauty-treatment (though I know better things to spend my money on), but about this right in front, how do these two go together?

Blew my mind a bit.
(And yes, I'm in the reflection with my bonnet - I still make people smile at me seeing it).

As blew my mind what Bro, who called me at work, told me (thanks so much! Reading all day about how to test software gets sooo boring with time).

Big Niece, who suffers Diabetes 1 wanted to play at her friend's place. First time since being diagnosed.
Bro explained to the mother of the kid how Niece's device works.
To check it from time to time.
If it shows below 40... give her either grape-sugar or a glass of apple juice or a lille piece of chocolate.

What.Can.I.Say.

Niece was at 45, that mother gave her grape-sugar and a glass of apple juice and a lot of chocolate.

Niece went up to over 300, they had to check on her hourly over the night.

Is it really too hard to differ either from and???
For a mother? Maybe she's (more than) a tad dull, too.

To top it all the kindy teacher who learned how to supervise Niece is signed sick, so the parents only can work half-days. A lot of stress.
In two weeks the results from the clinic will show if Wee One has it, too.
Please keep fingers and toes crossed for no. At age two it's just too hard - to all of them.

Why does nature do this. They all live healthy. Life is full of contradictions.
I feel so sorry and can not help.

Sadly they're involved in many things the next two weekends. I really wonder when I can see them again.
