Changing My Dexcom ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01543

For 90% of the time my Dexcom G6 is great, it monitors my blood sugar and is very accurate. However, when you replace a sensor there is a warm up time. When you replace a transmitter it takes some time for it to connect. I replaced mine this morning when the alarm for it woke me. Then I tried to get to sleep and it was just not happening. Then when the transmitter and sensor warmed up things were looking good and then the numbers crashed down. They really were not crashing because I checked them the traditional way. I calibrated the app and ate a little something just in case. Tried to get back to sleep and couldn’t. Got another alarm and recalibrated again. I’ve got to stop changing these things on the weekends or at least wait until after I wake up.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
