This will be it&#8217;s own blog post someday (the sign, not some lack of orange soda). \u00a0Which leads me to a post I think is effing brilliant (and if you missed this, do yourself a favor &amp; absorb this one) from over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetlyvoiced.com\/2014\/02\/snickers.html\">Sweetly Voiced<\/a>. \u00a0If you are still reading my gibberish and skipped over the link in the last sentence, go back and click on it. \u00a0Worth it.<\/p>\n<p>4. \u00a0This is what my Dexcom looked like this morning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/90.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-875\" alt=\"90\" src=\"http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/90-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/90-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/90-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/90.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pretty sweet. \u00a0My Low alarm is set at 90. \u00a090 and steady is awesome. \u00a0You know what&#8217;s not so awesome? The alarm going off over and over at a 90 bg when you just want a few more minutes of sleep. \u00a0The alternative is to be 90 and dropping and not feeling it and never waking up again, so I guess that pesky alarm will just have to remain. Ahhh 90&#8230; you torture me with your goodness.<\/p>\n<p>5. \u00a0This morning I saw this on a subway sign:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/l-train.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-876\" alt=\"l train\" src=\"http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/l-train-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/l-train-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/l-train-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.surfacefine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/l-train.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Look closely at the &#8220;L&#8221;. \u00a0there&#8217;s a heart! \u00a0The L train is the LOVE train? \u00a0Say what? \u00a0Good stuff people.<\/p>\n<p>6. \u00a0I read this earlier today after all the 90 bg alarming business. \u00a0 I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a way to tie this into diabetes stuff but I&#8217;ll leave that one up to you (I gotta go). \u00a0I think it&#8217;s terrific. \u00a0Happy Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life.
