Michelangelo has been swimming along like crazy. I keep on waiting for him to need a dose increase because he never maintains numbers this well for very long. Levemir has really made a difference! It's like Mikey has had a complete attitude adjustment and is a pleasant, fairly happy cat. He sleeps with me every night now and does this cute little thing where he puts his head on the pillow next to mine and just gazes at me adoringly. We've also had (almost) NO PROBLEMS with shot time. A couple of times, he's flinched or winced at the shot...but that was before I even poked him so I knew he was faking it just because I disrupted his play time. :roll:

In personal news, I've been MIA even worse than usual because I've been desperately looking for a new place to move into that isn't too expensive and is in the same area I live now. I'm really starting to think I can't afford Orange County any more. It's gotten ridiculous. I finally found a place and got approved for it yesterday; I just have to drop off the deposit today (double-rent at $3900! :o ). It doesn't have everything I want (I'm going to have to store my washer/dryer because it already comes with stackable) but it's close enough and cheap enough that I couldn't say, "no." But then, of course, this morning I look online and there's a place that has everything I want and is even cheaper (with one less bedroom). ohmygod_smile I'm trying not to second-guess myself and trying to be happy with what I've got, but it's hard when I wasn't exactly "happy" with it to begin with. :YMSIGH: I guess I'll give this place a year and then move if it's just not cutting it. At least that way, I won't be so frantic and rushed and will already know what's out there and what it's going to cost me.
 
Mikey is looking very spiffy floating around in the water today but watch out - Alska may sneak up and splash him.

Glad you found a new place. I can't imagine living in OC but then again the DC area isn't any cheaper. So I assume it is a two bedroom unit. Mikey and Henry need their own bedroom so that other place just will not do :lol: There.... does that help you end your second-guessing :-D
 
Yeah, but at a $300 price difference, this other place is more in my price range if my roommate ever moves out. The other place, I'd basically be paying for a third room that I couldn't rent out to anyone because the third room is more like a den off the kitchen with the only exit to the backyard. Who would want to rent that room? And if my roommate moved out, then I would have to sacrifice a lot to be able to afford the place on my own.

I have only a few more hours before I have to drop off the deposit to the old place but I've pretty much sold myself on this new place now. ohmygod_smile Why do I do this to myself??
 
Woohoo! Those are some pretty sweet #'s for Mikey. I'll have to consider Levemir once I make it through all 5 of my Lantus pens. ;-) I'm still on pen #1.

I hate big decisions and will often second guess myself. Good luck! And go with your gut. I recently got talked out of my gut feeling when ordering an area rug to go with some new furniture. Anyway, the area rug came and just didn't work and I was like why didn't I follow my initial instinct on the color. I switched it and am very happy with what I ended up with.

You're already getting really beautiful numbers with Max on Lantus, so I'm not sure if it would make a big difference for you guys. Then again, there are a couple of kitties who went OTJ after switching from Lantus to Levemir. It's worth thinking about. ;-)
 
Look at Mikey swim!!! It still floors me what a personality change something as simple as the insulin base can make. With Autumn I was in tears daily because she was so vicious on Lantus, switched to Lev and I have a snuggle bug. Who loves everyone as Long as they don't eat out of her dish. Lol

So, I just turned down the place that accepted us yesterday. I'm putting all my eggs in one basket for this place we looked at today. We had all our paperwork (bank statements, credit report, pay stubs, etc...) ready for her and the money order for the background check and were really well-prepared, so I hope they like us better than the other people who were coming today to check out the place. I want this one soooooo bad that I'm going to be absolutely worthless till she calls me tonight at 9 to tell me whether or not I get it.

It's amazing the change in Mikey. It's like most of the residual feral tendencies have evaporated overnight. (He still has his skittish nature, but I never expected him to really lose that.) I just am so surprised at how much better he's doing! Still kicking myself that I held off switching him for as long as I did.
 
Same thing with Sammy on Lev.... got my cuddle kitty back. She is so cute, she will ever so delicately request to come under the covers with me. Literally carefully tries to life the edge of the quilt with one little claw. Her brudder, on the other hand, simply claws the heck out of the covers.
