Another big drop this morning. A slightly slower big drop that wasn't just between +1 and +2, but between AMPS and +2 is still a hefty drop. I might take a vacation reduction starting tomorrow (or tonight?). Tomorrow and Wednesday aren't as busy, but Thursday and Friday I have a retreat for the new major we created, and while it's only about 20 minutes away, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get away to test, and I have to be there by +3 each morning. Eric can work from home those mornings, but he doesn't test, and she's been dropping low pretty fast the last couple of days. I'll ponder it more today.

I am hoping to go in to the building today around +3.5 so I have enough time to grade before I have a meeting at +5, and then this afternoon is pizza and a movie with the shop staff. We'll just have to see how she does at her +3 test to decided if I need to move grading to online.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday.

Morning Alicia, If you decide to take a vacation reduction since you're going to be very busy, good luck with that. You don't want to have to be worring about Miss Kit.
I hope she continues to surf safely today

Thanks Diane. She seems to be holding steady at +3. I might leave out some lower MC food and head in since she's not still dropping.

It sounds like a good plan. Better safe.
She's done well with a vacation dose before and recovered quickly.
It's easier on you and Eric as well

Wishing you luck if you do that vacation dose, Alicia. Sounds like a good idea t keep your sweetie safe.
She’s been doing some deep drops early in her cycle. Show off.
Wishing you a calm week ahead

Indeed. And the 12% earlier, as usual, felt like overkill in the moment, but when I got home at +6.5 to test her real quick, she was only at 92. So I feel a bit better about that. She probably didn't need the 7% I gave her then, and definitely not the 3% I forgot to have Eric pick up when he went in to work that she was eating at +9.75, but c'est la vie. I'm guessing her numbers tonight are a bit of a bounce from the drop this morning, but probably also loss of duration from food later in the cycle than usual.

Show off.

But WWWHHHHHHYYYYY such a show off (because cat, probably).

 

[Alicia & Kit cat (GA)]

Looking good Alicia

Thanks Diane. She shot back up to yellows tonight, but she had a pretty steep drop that is probably adding to that. I hope you are doing well!

 

[Alicia & Kit cat (GA)]

Definitely a slower drop tonight. I sort of wish she'd switch to bouncing in the morning and dropping at night - it would definitely help my schedule. Alas, she is cat, and she'll do what she wants.

I knooooooowwww....
Do you think if I wait until after tomorrow's pm cycle to make the decision about a potential vacation dose, that I'm pushing the decision too late if it would need to be in place for Thursday?

 

[Angela & Cleo]

Hmmm good question. Are you just unable to monitor in the AM cycles on Thursday and Friday or all day & night? What were thinking would be the vaca dose?

Just in the AM cycles - I have to attend a work retreat for the new major we created this year. I think on Thursday I can monitor until +4, but on Friday I have to be at the retreat by +3, and it's a 20 or so minute drive. Eric will be working from home at least on Friday, so I could in theory just have him feed her higher LC or lower MC for the morning. My thought was to go back to 1.75 if I went down, but I'm wondering if I just carb her up those two mornings as needed. But I also want to make sure I'm keeping her safe.
