Sensor Fail ...

Photo-A-Day #02802 Every so often I get a sensor fail for my Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). It happens enough that I always take a photo of the box so I can get all the numbers I need when submitting a claim for a new one. This one will fail tomorrow at 4:00am. They never fail at a good time. When that happens my phone alarms. Never any issue going on with me, just the device failing. It is a pain in the neck. Quiet day around here. Even quieter at work without our student intern. But it was still hopping from time to time. From pizzas to milkshakes and everything in between. I find myself going in many directions at once. We started the night thinking that we had to put together 2 Too Good Too Go bags only to have someone buy 1 and then another person buy the last two during the time of pickup. Well, I had only made 2 bags initially, then I took everything in the case for the third bag and when I learned that we had the last two bags I had to scramble to make everything a...

Fairy Mushroom Garden ...

Photo-A-Day #02801 My mom was up visiting from the Cape today. I went over and took a walk with her around my Aunt Donna's neighborhood. One of the houses had this little fairy house and mushrooms.  Then I had work and today was another day with our student intern. By the time I got home every part of my nerve endings was fried. The kid is autistic and very very loud. I try and be as patient as possible. Not easy. When I headed home I dropped back over to my Aunt's house to drop off pretzels for her. also some of my coffee caramel dip for the pretzels.

Dino Hands ...

Photo-A-Day #02800 I'm putting the finishing touches on my cosplay for Granite State Comicon. I'm doing one day as a Dungeon Crawler Carl character, "Big Tina". Big Tina is a T-Rex. I got some fingerless gloves and also some dinosaur claws. I cut the claws so that I could glue them to the gloves so I could use my hands.

He's Ignoring Me ...

Photo-A-Day #02799 Getting ready to sleep tonight and James is on our bed. I get into the bed and try not to disturb him. Then try to pet him and he moves away and then just ignores me. He's been sleeping in our bed each night now that Eva is at school. He takes up a lot of space.

Fat Cat Helping Make The Bed ...

 Photo-A-Day #02798 Allison stripped the sheets and remade the bed today. As she was doing so James climbed the cat stairs on the side of the bed and plopped down in the middle of the bed. Allison kept flipping the sheets up all around him but he would not move. Torrun would have been running for the hills if it was her, but James stayed put. I came into the bedroom as Allison was depositing the sheets, cat and all, on the floor. James would not move out the way. Andy got their Steam account back today. However, later in the afternoon Andy received a message from Steam that their account was locked because of messages that were not sent by Andy violated the community guidelines. That was the scammer using Andy's account to try and scam everyone on Andy's contact list. So we opened a new support ticket and explained what happened and that Andy did not send any messages from that account because the account had been stolen from Andy. I hope we get this all cleared up soon.

Whoops, Broken ...

 Photo-A-Day #02797 I've been transferring old VHS tapes into digital media. The last time I was on the Cape I got two big boxes of old tapes. They are very old and this one is the first that I have found that is broken. When I rewound it the tape snapped. I also know that I've already digitized two other tapes that were of Tara's graduation. I can't imagine that we had the graduation filmed from multiple angles or anything. This one also says "dads copy" so it seems like this one is a copy of what we already have.  It was an eventful day here. Andy learned a valuable lesson about online scams and we are working on fixing the damage done. I'm very proud that Andy came to us for help. He was also very responsible to get their Chase account secured. It was a learning experience and I am sure that it will stick with Andy for a while. It just sucks that such an earnest and thoughtful caring kid got taken advantage of. We had a nice dinner together. While Andy ...

New Flavor Creation ...

Photo-A-Day #02796 I created a new dip flavor at The Pretzel Factory. This one is Caramel Coffee. I used some salted caramel topping that we use for ice cream and also some of the espresso flavoring that we purchased, plus a pump or two of the Autocrat syrup. I mixed that with our buttercream to create this new flavor. We'll see if people like it.
