Good Morning, Everyone,

It's a very humid, warm morning here with lots of rain expected. I'm glad we're not paddling today: 30 mph winds are predicted! Rusty had a good night, woke us up at dawn with kitty kisses, and had eaten all of his nighttime food. This morning he had a good test, breakfast (FF T&G part of breakfast eaten!, but I expect he will finish the rest this morning), and a shot that may or may not have been accurate. I am now shooting 1.5 units instead of fat 1.5 units because I think I have to compensate for the idiosyncrasies of the new lot of syringes. This is noted on Rusty's SS. The dose is hopefully about the same. I spent a lot of time last night working with the calipers, but I am not (yet) skilled. They really help to determine whether the lines are in the right places, however! I'm not good at counting drops and find it much easier to eyeball, so I'm using the calipers on the syringe lines and spaces with the syringe empty.

We are getting ready for our trip to NYC tomorrow. Rusty knows all about it and is not particularly happy. On Thursday I hope to do a bike ride with my city cycling group. On Friday I have my doctor's appt. that was postponed from last month. On Sat. we are walking in Prospect Park (Brooklyn), shopping in the Brooklyn farmers' market in the park, and having lunch at an old friend's and former neighbor. It's always neat to go back and see our old block. On Sunday we are meeting another old friend for a walk around Prospect Park and then--a highlight of our trip--we will visit Roni (Moonie) at her table in the 7th-Avenue Street Fair. It will be such fun to see her again.
Next Monday we head back to the Adirondacks and will spend a couple of days at Camp Stu before coming home. So it will be a busy week ahead.

Wishing everyone a good day,

Ella & Rusty

Hey Kitties. Everyone is invited to visit me in the city. We can do Central Park, the hotdog stands, the Library, the Museums, the beaches. Whatever. And then Camp Stu early next week. We'll have a ball.

Re: 6/12 Rusty AMPS 86

Morning Ella, I wish you luck with the syringes, and the calipers, etc. Such a challenge it all is. I too am not all that good with counting drops - I always end up eyeballing the whole affair. Wouldn't it be nice if someone could make a syringe that was geared towards animals and had all the .25 units etc marked... we an always hope.

Mannie is elated -I whispered NYC in his ears. If kitties could grin, he would have. I hope all goes as planned there - it sounds like a fun trip. And I agree - it is always fun to go back as see what was.

Have a great day. And Rusty - looking mighty fine this morning. Love your amps! :mrgreen:

I just hope the rain stops by the time you leave tomorrow. I bet there is a big kitty confab today to plan for the next week too. Oh my!!! :dizcat NYC and then Camp Stu! bcatrun_gif bcatrun_gif

Beautiful numbers today for Rusty. Sounds like you have a fun week ahead. Yup, we have the same weather here today. Very wet, and very humid, and windy also.

I think the weather is going to be beautiful for the rest of the week! Have a great trip!
 
Re: 6/12 Rusty AMPS 86, +5.5 99

Rusty, looking good today. :mrgreen: I hope Rusty handles the ride okay and you get everything done today. Sounds like a fun and busy week. Kitties will be excited to visit Rusty in NYC. Good luck with the calipers.

Hi Ella. Everybody said what I wanted to. Rusty is looking good :mrgreen:
Your trip sounds like great fun. How lucky you are to be seeing Roni again. :-D
Rusty will perk up, when he finds out about his friends visiting him in the city. :-D
 
Re: 6/12 Rusty AMPS 86, +5.5 99

Hi Ella,
That sounds like a fun week that you have planned. Enjoy your city/country travels, and please pass along my regards to Roni.
 
Re: 6/12 Rusty AMPS 86, +5.5 99, +9 122, PMPS 93

Hi again,
The syringe wars continue. This evening it looked again as if there was insulin above the zero line (the needle didn't come down all the way to the line) and I shot 1.5 units to make up for the extra insulin (Rusty's dose is supposed to be a fat 1.5). And then I discovered--too late--that there were 2 small drops left in the syringe. So I don't know what he got tonight. In any event, on we go. Tonight, while I'm getting stuff together for our trip, I now have to go through the box of Monojects and try to fine ones that look OK to take on the trip.

bbl,

Ella & Rusty

Safe travels and have a lovely time in NYC! I hope Rusty keeps his Camp Stu cool green/blue going for you!

Those syringes are so stressful! ohmygod_smile If using a caliper to measure & using say a BD syringe, isnt it easier? Sounds like the MJ is really wonky. We dont have the MJ in HK & we dont have half markings syringes here. I am using the BD brand with the short needle.
Luckily Rusty is doing great with the reading.
 
I agree, Helen, the MJ's have gotten wonky.

Rusty just barfed up his nighttime snack (FF T&G) and what looked like the remains of his dinner. Early stress because of our trip tomorrow??

Sorry to be largely absent today. So much to do and no time to do it in.

Ni ni,

Ella & Rusty
