Yesterday's condo: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34922

Good morning, LL! Happy Caturday!

NO scratching and meowing at the door this AM from Chaos. Instead I found him curled up in my spot on the couch. White cat, black couch...I love you, Pledge pet hair remover. I am surprised about this morning's calm, since he seemed to enjoy yesterday's 7AM scratch and meow party tremendously. He's still being a little whiny-baby about his tests, but he'll have to get over it. In a test of wills, I will always come out stronger than him, no matter how shaky I feel inside. Today's AMPS was a bit on the low side, but looking at his spreadsheet full of yellow I decided to be bold and shoot it. I'll be home to test and keep an eye on him, and I have plenty of HC wet food if needed. I have a feeling he may be settling into his new dose and shouldn't go too low on me today. Also, I sent myself to remedial microdosing school last night and think I have a better handle on consistently giving 0.25u, difficult though it is. I think some of his lower lows may have been due to inconsistent dosing. So that's something I am watching very closely.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words about my dress/photos.

@Karrie- I learned to sew out of necessity. I'm a bit smaller than average sized people and everything needs scaled down a bit to fit me. Design was also a factor, since anything too complicated or fussy is not flattering- makes me look like a little girl playing dress-up lol!! After having to alter every dress I ever bought, I decided to learn how to sew from scratch so I could have things made exactly the way I want them. It took about 5 years of practice before I attempted anything as important as my wedding gown. I am a patient girl lol!!

And for anyone who was curious, attached is a photo of yesterday's chocolate coconut cake.

Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115

The cake is beautiful.

Since this is on the lower end of what you've been shooting, definitely get a +1 and +2. Also, a little nudge about PM spot checks -- please get at least a before bed check. I wouldn't be comfortable assuming that Chaos' isn't going to drop low with a yellow PMPS. Many cats have lower numbers at night.
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245

I got 245 at +1... I know this could be the time between last night's shot wearing off and this AM's shot taking over, but such a big rise? Between the two tests I have done so far today, I got a better blood sample with the +1 so if I had to trust only one result, I'd go with +1 rather than AMPS. Will run another check at +2 and we'll see where we are.

I know, I am lousy at night time checks. That's the only time where Chaos can guilt me into leaving him alone- my will is weakened by fatigue.... I must convert just a little more of my blood into ice water and quit letting that sweet little face get to me when I'm tired.
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245

Chaos really sounds like a sweetheart. This micro dosing is making my head hurt lol. I don't know how I'm going to stay consistent.

Amazing AMPS for chaos. glad you are home to test.

That's cool how you learned to sew. If I even need a button I take it to the tailors.

The cake looks so pretty and yummy. MMMM.
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245, +3 230

I am also annoyed with microdosing. I just keep telling myself that the less insulin he needs, the better, so it's worth it. Still a giant pain in the butt though. It's not easy right out of bed, and I'm one of those annoying people who wakes up alert and fairly happy... I can't imagine how it would be for someone who's not a morning person.

So now we have 230. More yellow. :cry: Where are his greens and blues? So frustrating. So I'll get a +6 and see where we are then. "See where we are then" has become my new motto. Sigh.

In other news, I just got an order for a cake shaped like a pair of ta-ta's. :lol:
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245, +3 230

So here's another reason to get a PM test in. The way Chaos' numbers are looking, I suspect his numbers dropped overnight. What you're seeing now is likely to be a bounce. If you had the PM tests, you'd know what you're dealing with.

(Sorry to be a broken record.)
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245, +3 230

Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245, +3 230, +6 289

Argh. He's 289 at +6, almost at the ugly pink floor! Probably a bounce, Sienne's probably right. I am trying to be more diligent about night testing, I promise. I don't like to see him so high- down, white boy, down!!!!

Thanks, Lisa. It's not something I was good at the first time I tried, trust me.
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245, +3 230, +6 289

If you set your phone to loud, I can call you to help wake you. I have a North American call plan. But my brain and iphone have been failing me the past four days. I need to get back on track. I know you are dead to the world with medication.

Gorgeous cake (YUM!)! as were your photos yesterday - I really enjoyed viewing them all. Your dress was truly lovely.

Great amps, looks like Chaos is now bouncing. I know night checks are a pain - I find the middle of the night ones the worse. just don't make alot of them. so agreed on microdosing - the .25 measurements are tough enough, and I cringe when I have to skinny or fatten those.

Have a great day today guys! and Chaos - no more up, we want down.... you can do it!

Chaos - hey - we are headed to NYC to visit Rusty's and party ny city style - you in? See you there! ~~ Mannie

Beautiful cake, Violet! Certainly you have talent! Wouldn't mind seeing some of your sewing things!

Hey, Chaos, turn around those numbers and get some blues and greens for your mum! No more bouncing Mr. L!!
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos AMPS 115, +1 245, +3 230, +6 289

I too hear you on the PM testing. Thankfully, for us switching to 7am/7pm shot times means I can almost always get at least a +4 if our PMPS is lower, and even a +6 will still allow me 5 1/2 hrs of uninterrupted sleep before we wash, rinse repeat!

The cake you made was beautiful! I too would love to examples of your sewing handiwork. Such wonderful skills to have!!

Okay, Chaos, lets clear this bounce quickly and get back to lower numbers!!

Have a great night!
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos +3 230, +6 289 PMPS 299

Hopefully Chao's 299 will go down. I'm going to test him tonight for sure. I do really need to see what's going on here at night. He is a sweetheart, though. His big ol' yellow eyes get me every time. I am trying to initiate some of the eye talk I have read about in others' condos, with slow progress. He was never a hold-me love-me kitty and a few years back, he would never have tolerated the amount of handling he allows now. FD has made us closer, that's for sure, so I'm going to keep working on the eye talk when he's relaxed but not sleeping. That's when he seems to be the most receptive.

In microdosing news, my friend just texted to say her mom works in a hospital pharmacy and can order me syringes with 1/10u markings! $8 for 100! Hallelujah!!!
:RAHCAT :RAHCAT :RAHCAT
It'll be a few days before they come in, but I will report back with my experiences when they arrive.

For those of you who asked to see clothes I've made, I'm so flattered by your interest! You are all just the nicest people! :smile: I have an album of clothes and little monsters I've made, I'll post the link here and in tomorrow's AM condo for people who don't check back tonight. Brace yourselves:

I loved the monsters (and the gift card placement LOL). You are very talented and creative. I'm impressed.
 
Re: 01/22 Chaos +3 230, +6 289 PMPS 299

:lol: :lol: :lol: celi, you crack me up! "little monsters I've made" referring to kids lol... but I don't have any. My furbabies are my only children, and one of them won't come out of the yellow today! 230 at +4 tonight. Bleh. Here's hoping for better numbers tomorrow.
