Greetings from Nebraska. It has been an Awful week here for me in more ways than one.
The old definition: Exceedingly Great, Struck or filled with awe: On Wednesday I swapped out my old Medtronic 670G Insulin Pump for their new MiniMed 780G with SmartGuard and CGM Sensors. It's only been a couple of days, but so far I'm lovin this new pump and the automatic correction features it has.
The new definition: Exceedingly Bad, Very Unpleasant: We have had two Snowstorms this week with significant amounts of snow and winds gusting to 40 MPH. Tonight pretty much everything is at a standstill. They even called off the snowplows because they were getting stuck. For the most part all of the highways are closed in the area and the temperatures have been and are predicted to be around zero degrees F for the next 4 or 5 days, with winds continuing. Our cable TV has been out for a little over a day and our Internet has been out all day today. Both came back on just a short while ago so we have all been catching up with our online activities. Most of our subdivision has been without electricity most of the day today as well - fortunately our house is on the edge that didn't lose power.
Thanks for letting me ramble on. - Dave
