Almost packed and ready to go

I’ve got to get my morning stuff out of the car and some shoes and I’m ready to go. Have dentist appointment first.

Took the open box of cartridges, open box of sets, and box of IV-Prep — and added some Uni-solve, so I should be good to go on pumping supplies. Plus refilled my “emergency” carry around set. Infusion sets and cartridges can’t just be picked up anywhere, and who knows if there is a pumping CDE in Monroe, LA. Hopefully I only have to do one set change, but I have been known to rip out a set while trialing. Several times during runs.

I LOVE having the new CPAP machine, as packing that is always stressful and I have to do it the morning of. Plus when I get back, I have to re set it up. No more, now that I have the old machine and spares. I set up the old machine yesterday afternoon and packed all the new stuff. The old machine is different — it just blows where the other one matches my breathing somewhat. It’s a different sensation. I also used a slightly different model of mask, but I think I slept okay. Anyway, all that is packed in and the car.

I’m also looking forward to the three sets of crates, and I’ll drop one set off when I get to Monroe. Since it’s a four day trial, it makes sense to have a set of crates at the show site, a set of crates in the car and a set of crates in the motel. Now I can do what I normally do, which is leash the girls to move them instead of having to pack and unpack crates constantly.

I’ve got a bottle of Aprida that I just opened, and am taking a bottle of Novalog just in case. I wish I could store them in two seperate places, but because of the heat, that won’t work out. They are in a bag I will remember to keep with me and not leave somewhere hot. Also have a Novolog pin and plenty of pin needles (I keep a bag of them in the car, along with lancelets, just in case).

Turned in one assignment that is due this weekend. I’ve got another one done that is due Monday, and hanging on to that. And I backed up all my CECS files to a CD-RW just in case the network server goes down. Plus it is a hassle to upload and download. I should just have to do discussion posting for both classes.
