I think I'm starting to see a trend with Trix's higher "+3" pokies....I recently changed my morning workout schedule, and that has resulted in a change in her feeding schedule. Most of the time, I now do the "extra-early" workout - as opposed just the "plain old early" workout - and on these extra-early mornings, she ends up getting fed closer to when I do that +3 test...it's really more like a 1.25 - 1.5 hours after she last ate. When I used to do the "plain old early" workouts, her test was actually about 2-2.5 hours after eating. On my day's off, my workout schedule - and therefore her feeding schedule - follows the "plain old early" schedule. So I think on the days I do the "extra early workout", I think I'm actually seeing a bit of a food spike, since it really hasn't been that long since she last ate. At least that's what I'm hoping. I'm going to keep an eye on the trend and see if my theory is right.
She is eating like a happy little glutton today. She does seem to be eating more and more from the plate without me holding it, but we still have a ways to go before I feel secure. At this point, I still have to put the plate in front of her - she won't walk up to it on her own. But it looks like she has started taking more kitten steps towards independent eating again!
My Dad was starting to feel a bit better yesterday, but still felt pretty yucky. Hopefully today will be better. Personally, my hands were already feeling the effects of cooler weather....they just don't work well when it's cold. It's not an ache, really...but I drop a lot of little things (like beads) when my hands are cold. Hard to explain, and as a beader, it's very frustrating.
Another long day of teaching while running the store by myself today....have a great day, LL!
