Dude,

So today I'm sleepy *and* achy. Getting 4 hours of sleep after dancing in uncomfortable shoes all night doesn't make for a chipper Jodi. Still, I had a great time and can't wait to see all of the pictures. The http://www.501neg.com/ seemed to be trying pretty fiercely last night to recruit more people. It sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't know if I'd have the time to do it and I'm not sure who I'd be (that requirement to be an evil character and all).

I almost didn't dress up due to one of those silly female self conscious moments but I just sucked it up and went out in costume anyway. I can't believe that I was the only Amidala there (and can't believe that some people thought I was supposed to be Leia). I know the costume wasn't great though, shirt was totally wrong, shoes were totally wrong - I mean, my gun was in a cell phone holder hanging from a belt (both of which were the wrong color, a bit too dark).

I think tonight I want to crawl into a hole with my B and get lots of sleep but there's things to do like picking up new insulin and needles from the vet (to the tune of over $100), putting out trash, cleaning the cat's litterbox, making dinner, finishing laundry and homework (ick). I really want a vacation - I'm SO excited about next weekend (taking Friday and the following Monday off).

Have a great day all! I'm off to wash out my bowl, get some water, and try and be productive despite the fact that I feel like I've been run over by a truck :)

have you thought of getting pet insurance? i think they usually cover stuff like this and the rates are pretty reasonable.

Yup,

"have you thought of getting pet insurance? i think they usually cover stuff like this and the rates are pretty reasonable."

I did look into this a while ago - the last I checked they didn't cover the visits we bring Max in for (preventive or BGI curves) and they didn't cover his insulin since its an "experimental" one (still, its the only one that works for him). I may look into it again at some point though, I found out my employer offers some kind of discounted plan which is kind of neat!

he's on Ultralente (U), right? if so, "experimental" my ass. that's been on the market for several years now.

i wonder if the pet insurance works kindof like regular insurance - when i started taking Lantus (a really long acting insulin), my insurance wouldn't cover it because it was new and they hadn't approved it. a letter from my doctor saying that i needed it fixed that problem right away and the insurance started covering it for me. i wonder if a letter for your vet would work for Max's insurance problem?

Nope, PZI http://www.felinediabetes.com/pzi.htm . I actually had to sign a form to enroll him in a "clinical trial" in order for the vet to order the drug for me (i.e. I can't just go get it or the needles at CVS like I used to for the previous types of humulin that he was taking).

I know a while back the cost of the premium was more than we paid for his visits and drugs. Its just now that he's on PZI that needles and drugs cost a lot more (still, I only need to buy them every couple of months or so).

Its been a long time since I've looked into how the plans work so I can't remember the specifics :)
