10-06 Pretty Girl -AMPS 540 PMPS 283

[JeanW]

Yesterday

Pretty Girl had a good appetite this morning and clearly felt much better after eating. I think she may have gone a lot lower overnight. PMPS +2 was 100 lower. At PMPS +3 she was lively and interactive. But I was really overtired from my week and fell asleep.

When do you need to do your weekly curve?

Any chance you could keep your spreadsheet update with the latest data? I suspect, but don't know for sure, that you could just go to sleep and not worry about the alarms. Unless you are trying to gather data. The depot is still trying to rebuild from that skip a couple days ago.

Thank you. It’s updated. I did set my alarms but turned them off in my sleep I should have gotten up.

Here's a fun suggestion I got from @Chris & China that made me smile. I'd buy the Runaway alarm clock if we weren't so financially drained from our little sugarbaby.

there's always an alarm clock like this "Sonic Alert Sonic Bomb Extra-Loud Dual Alarm Clock with Red Flashing Alert Lights and Powerful Bed Shaker"!!

Or Clocky, the Original Runaway Alarm Clock on Wheels

Fun idea indeed

Today I was home nearly all day - which almost never happens. I gave Pretty Girl small meals at +3 and +5.5. She couldn't get settled, couldn't lay down and rest, just very restless.

These small meals really seemed to help. She then went and laid down and slept and I heard more snoring and happy dream noises than I've heard in FOREVER. After a couple hours she jumped up to sleep in her favorite spot of all. And she looked very comfortable every time I looked in on her. All good signs.

Today I did only the basic testing since I plan to do a curve tomorrow and because we both need a bit of a break.

I had to leave the house at +10 and she still looked really good. I picked up the food.

But I feel like a terrible pet parent - the lack of sleep is really getting to me from getting up so many times every night. At AMPS +12 I found 2 food dishes that didn't get picked up.

Pretty Girl didn't look too good and when I did her PMBG it is 283. I gave her her after poke treat. That's when I found the food that was mistakenly not picked up. Based on how she looks I would guess she went low and was eating off of the food.

What do I do now?? All was great until about 2 hours ago. I am just kicking myself and am devastated. So embarrassing to make such an error.

I wouldn't worry about it. What's done is done. Experienced CGs don't pick up food 2 hours before PS times because they know how their cats react to food.

I look forward to the curve tomorrow.

Thanks for your response. I would love to quit picking up the food. Is it too soon?

Do you know what happens if she eats? Is it always the same every time? Personally, I think it's safer to pick up the food until you get her well regulated.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about not picking up the food either. Between you and me, we've been doing this sugar dance for a year and a half and we still pick up the food 2 hours before. I definitely feel you about the lack of sleep also. You just learn to function better on less, haha.
