AMPS 191
+3 148
+4 178
+6 198
PMPS 188
+3 142

Morning ~O) ~O) it looks like a good start for Maggie. After her +3 of 142 last night, I knew she would either surf or rise, rarely any dramarama from Mags, so I gave her a pokecation. I am so fortunate to have an easy cat in that way. I sure wish someday maybe, anti=jynx! Today is starting out nicely, so hopefully Mags will surf. I think slowly I may need to start shooting later. I am getting so zombied out lately, I keep going btb for short Maggie naps but am still sleepy. I'm sure more coffee and a walk later in the am will help. Maggie is all good to go with the P's, and last night a lot of chatter, and the pole mouse toy was strewn across the bedroom floor. :-D We'll have play and brush time after this nap.
Thinking positive thoughts and prayers for Michelle and Mannie and all kitties and their Beans needing them.

Very nice start for Maggie!!!

Yeah, those short naps just are not the same as solid sleep - there really is a significant difference. I'm always tired, too, because I have to keep getting up - between testing Trix and excessively chatty Frankie. On Sunday's, DH takes over testing after I do the shot, so I actually get an extra solid 4 hours of sleep after Trix's shot - there are times I could sleep even longer, but even just the 4 hours makes a huge difference! Before Trix's diagnosis, if I slept till 7:30, it was late. Now, I'm lucky if I'm up for good ayt 10:30 on my days off!
 
Re: 6/27 Maggie AMPS 162; +3 122 AT

yupp - hear you on the always tired. I'm always getting up too, and find that naps, for me, just make it worse. Mannie's hot time is early too, and I often think of changing it, but never do. I like how his nadir is early enough that I can still have the day. For me I find that a walk, anything outdoors really helps to get things moving.

What a nice start for Maggie today. Well done Maggie - surf well for your bean!

enjoy your day Ann - I hope you get out for a walk. :-D

Nice +3 for Maggie. I can't do the btb either. It only makes me more tired. Maybe moving your shot time would help. Maggie will roll with it like she always does. Tarragon is the same way with eating when he goes low. It is really nice and we are a little spoiled.

Have a great day Ann!
 
Re: 6/27 Maggie AMPS 162; +3 122; +5 118 AT

+5 118

Still surfing and almost a green.

Hi Melissa, yes, sometimes the btd makes it harder for me to get going and wake up. Mags does roll with the punches. :-D

Hi Michelle, I think Mags is reading her condo today as so far a nice surf. Yes, a walk is on the agenda for me, as well as the UPS store and returning some clothes I ordered online but don't fit.

Hi Amy, you and I both have the chatty kitties in the middle of the night. I think Frankie and Mags just get that spurt of energy or something. It must be harder on you with work. I can sneak in a cat nap in the afternoon.

On the AT that is green! :mrgreen: I'm right there w/ you on always being tired. I spend a lot of my board time staring at hte screen and dozing off! :? I move Tess's shot time later, but w/ Lev it means I have to stay up till1:00am for her last meal at +6! ohmygod_smile I don' t think there is a solution other than naps. Or maybe I should exercise more in the mornings too.

Hi guys,
I can't take naps either. And we're lucky that Rusty sleeps through the night. We get up at 6:15, shoot at 6:30, and let the day happen from there. At night I put out some bedtime food and Rusty eats it at some point and then just comes back to bed. I think I'm not a good mamabean because I don't generally test at night. But on the few occasions I have done so, Rusty was always in safe numbers and was always surprised to be woken up!

Lookin' good today Maggie. Yes, it is very interesting about the Wellness Turkey. Next time I'm in a store that sells Wellness, I'm going to look at more of the cans.

Enjoy today. I hope you get out for your walk.

Ella & Rusty

PMPS 168

I just found two bottles of the old strips in my cabinet. I must have placed the recent order in front and didn't realize I still had two old bottles, This will be interesting to watch her numbers. So starting with the PMPS of 168 I am using the old strips.

Hi Ann & Tess, I think all of us Beans must be tired a lot of the time. even with naps. Yes, a couple of these would be greens on the Relion Confirm.

Hi Ella, Good point in looking at the cans when shopping for Wellness now that we know, thanks to you, that some are a product of USA and the others product of Canada. Wag.com Wellness are product of Canada and the chunky ones our kitties like..
 
Re: 6/27 Maggie AMPS 162; +3 122; +5 118; PMPS 168 AT

What are the expiration dates on the old bottles of strips? Hopefully it won't make too much difference. Glad to hear Mags is having a good day. I rarely took naps pre-FD but we do quite often now.

Hi Ann.
Good luck on trying to change Maggie's shot time. I just had to change Checks', 'cause he was waking me an hour early, and didn't want to wait for breffis. Messed me all up by eating at +11.
Tell Maggie you want to sleep a couple more hours.....hehe, see if she cooperates. :lol:
Cool on finding strips you didn't know you had. :-D
 
Re: 6/27 Maggie AMPS 162; +3 122; +5 118; PMPS 168; +3 95 A

+3 95 :mrgreen:

Mags was all curled up sleeping. I hated to take a poke, but she didn't seem to mind and just turned her head making it more convenient. Glad I did a +3!

Hi Liz, the expiration of the old strips is 2014. I probably just ordered them right before they converted to the new strips. It would have been within the last several months. They call the new strips AlphaTrak2.

Hi Barb & Checkers, glad it worked out for you moving up an hour. Mags wants food, too, at the +11, and sometimes I give in to her. :lol: She knows I'm an easy target and takes advantage. :lol:


ETA and note to self.
+4 78 :mrgreen:
There does seem to be a difference with the old strips and old meter vs. using the new strips with Code in the old meter.
 
Re: 6/27 Maggie PMPS 168; +3 95; +4 78 AT

Beautiful green you're sporting there Mags! Please no drama for your mama...surf nicely little girl:)
 
+5 93

Hi Tamara, thanks for visiting. I think it's back up slowly for Mags and safe for the night. She was quite hungry at the +7 before I tested, so I knew she was dropping.
