Yesterday's condo

First morning of my Christmas vacation! I don't even know what to do with all of my time now that I don't have to grade papers anymore. At the very top of the agenda though is sleep. Mandarin once again dropped into the 40s twice over night and I managed to sleep through two alarms. I woke up an hour later, with both alarms still blaring. I never even used to be a particularly deep sleeper, so this is really starting to get scary.

I ended up giving him a reducie this morning. I usually wait until he drops below 50 in three separate cycles and this was only his second one, but since I am having such a hard time bringing him up and getting him to stay up, I decided that it was time.

Walter also got a lot of HC food last night, so the slightly higher start isn't really surprising. He's been doing great on this dose though.

Sending vines to all the kitties and beans in need... and I can't wait to get caught up on some more condos. These last few weeks have been so busy that I haven't had much time to visit.

I count 3 on this dose even if the first one was depot influenced...3 is three. Hopefully he'll continue to surf but safely for a few days so you can rest. That's a nice AMPS for Walter especially with HC last night. Scritches for all your critters.

First day of my vacation and I can't even count to three anymore. Looks like my brain is on Christmas break. You are right, of course, it is the third drop. Now I am even more glad that I gave him his reducie!

Welcome to your vacation!
Grading to you is like editing to me!
I would have done the same thing; it certainly appears that Mandarin is ready for the reducie!

Both boys are back in the lagoon.

May the boys surf and may you get a nap.
I've 60,000 words to edit before Christmas (as if that's happening). It's an easy piece but still, it takes time.

Congrats on the reducie. I hope the boys surf safely today and tonight and you can get some sleep.

Looks like both boys did the bellyflop into the lagoon this morning. I hope that means sleep for you tonight. Happy vacation.

Whee, surf's up at Christina's house! I hope both boys behaved tonight and you get some sleep. Vines to Iris to get over her URI quickly. Poor sensitive little kit.
