My family used to go sit on top of willow bend parking garage to view kaboomtown fireworks. We love* the fireworks, hate the crowds. Willow bend parking garage is no longer accessible due to construction/demolition. Where else can we go to view the FW without major crowds???
How are y’all doing it? How is anyone living on their own these days? Apartments are $1500-$2000 just for one bedrooms and I can only assume the median salary for folks here is about $50,000. How is anyone surviving? I’m genuinely curious as my living arrangements may be changing soon and I need to prepare. Just thinking of all the expenses that come with living on your own (rent, car insurance, rental insurance, electricity, internet, phone, gas, groceries) and only bringing home about $45k after taxes. It’s just not possible.. unless you have roommates or work over 50hrs a week.
Edit: I’m 36 and have two school age kids. Roommate situation isn’t an option
Been diabetic 5 years now, had gestational diabetes before that plus almost everyone in my family has diabetes, so it’s not new to me. Been using the Dexcom G7 CGM. It alerts to my lows but I don’t always trust it cuz I don’t always FEEL low. When I don’t feel it I double check with a finger stick and calibrate cuz it’s usually wrong. Well, the middle of the night it’s been alerting me that my sugars are dropping to 50, 40… I usually do nothing cuz I’m too tired and frustrated it woke me up. When I actually get up, I see that my numbers have gone back up naturally. But also- When it wakes me up I can’t tell by feeling since I’m groggy from waking up anyway. My question is- should I actually be doing something about these lows..?
And yes I eat a sustaining snack (usually) before bed to prevent this
Yes I plan to ask my doctor but wanted to hear from actual ppl too. Thanks.
