Yesterday's condo

I think my two boys are conspiring to kill their bean through sleep deprivation. Second night in a row with almost no sleep. Only difference: this time, BOTH of my boys managed to drop below 50. Walter did so early in the cycle (+2), while Mandarin waited until +8. Needless to say, I am exhausted. And so are the kits, I'm sure.

This time, I was generous with the gravy from the very beginning. So the truly scary thing is that Mandarin STILL dropped below 50 even though he had 4 helpings of HC food early in the cycle. I once again went with a BCS for Mandarin this morning... while his brother is back on the trampoline and got his full dose.

I will probably need some help with dosing for Mandarin later... I usually wait for three drops below 50 before I reduce, but I also can't handle another night like this. No clue how I will manage to grade papers today.

Yet even though I would prefer to do this without all the drama, I am super excited for Mandarin.

I think Mandarin is asking for a reducie! So nice to see him in good numbers again!

 

[Doodles & Karen]

Really boys, if you kill the bean no one will take care of you so please....a litter more considerate for a while. Walter cleared his bounce in style However something has changed in Mandarin. I'd hate to see you take another reduction though. I might try the 1.75 again if you're up for it. Otherwise, take the reducie and see how he does. Dropping the cycle after a BCS does make me wonder. Really hope you get some rest today. Are you back to work tomorrow or has the mini vacation started?

 

[Olive & Paula]

Mandarin I think you get an A+ on your paper. Walter you have room for improvement. Maybe a nap will help you be alert to grade papers.

How much insulin was the BCS this morning?
I would add in the Remarks of his spreadsheet that he got a bunch of HC early in the cycle last night.
It looks like he's on a mission.
1.50 might be a consideration for a new dose. I have to leave for work. Let's see what others have to say.

 

[Doodles & Karen]

Mandarin!! Looks like he's saying less juice and would try the 1.5u. I forgot about all the HC food you gave him last night.

 

[Mandarin'sMom]

I just sat the boys down and explained to them that there won't be any kittens in their Christmas stocking if they keep this up.

Despite the BCS this morning (and I gave 1 U rather than the 1.75), Mandarin is once again dropping early in the cycle. Luckily, I have no plans to go anywhere... and even if I did, we currently have white-out conditions and I don't think I could leave the house anyways.

I am starting to think that this is where we're headed... unless he all of a sudden heads for the beach.

Sorry the boys kept you up again last night. I think Mandarin is asking for a reducie. I think the suggestion of 1.5 units is a good idea. You can always go right back up if he starts creeping up. I hope Walter slides down slowly and doesn't bounce back up. Hopefully you can get a nap in today.

Christina
super excited that both boys are doing so well - sorry about the sleep
lucky you can grade papers from home in between zzzzzzs

I just sat the boys down and explained to them that there won't be any kittens in their Christmas stocking if they keep this up.

And what did they say to that!!!!!

 

[Mandarin'sMom]

And what did they say to that!!!!!

They know their mama bean well enough to realize that that's an empty threat.

....but I sure wish they would take me a bit more seriously. Looking at those PM pre-shots, I think the boys are once again up to no good. I reduced Mandarin to 1.5 U - I can always take him back up if I have to, but I hope that this might actually be a dose that I can give for a few cycles in a row.

But the real surprise came from Walter: a green pre-shot after starting the day in pink?!? This is crazy! And it probably doesn't mean that I will get to sleep through the night... but I just couldn't waste this opportunity. So I gave him his full dose... and will probably regret it in a few hours.

 

[Olive & Paula]

Hope Walter surfs tonight. Kitties are full of surprises.

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

It's a conspiracy for sure! Good luck with Mandarin's reducie. I hope both boys will settle down so that you can get some sleep (and get those papers graded!).

Hugs and scritches,

 

[Carol & Murphy (GA)]

I don't know about this business of shooting a low number - half the time Murphy dives (like tonight) and half the time he goes up
He doesn't have the surf gene

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

That was a big diff in Walter's AM and PM today and Mandarin is looking really good! Do you think the boys were effected when they got the news of no kits in the stocking ?

 

[granadilla]

They truly are conspiring to keep you up all night! And/or to get a lot of HC. At least they waited until you were done with classes. Good luck tonight and stay warm!

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Looks like another pj party for the 3rd night in a row!
Mandarin it's awesome to see those green numbers!
Walter, that was quite a drop from AM to PM! Be considerate of your mama Bean; she needs some sleep!

Surf safely boys.

 

[Gussie's mom (GA)]

Yikes! Hoping you get some rest tonite!
Surf safely boys!
( I am as always in awe that you are managing two sugar cats!)
