Finally some decent sleep last night. It makes it easier to deal with all the appointments/driving coming up this week. Today I have 2 appointments, then we are shifting to DH's Cape house until sometime later next week. The weather should be warm and sunny today but starting tomorrow it is going to be in the mid-50s and rainy. Yuck!
i didn't eat much early yesterday as I wasn't hungry but then felt starved from early afternoon on. The story of my life. CC, DD, and Peps are doing so well with their food modifications. Somehow I need to get my head there too.
Not much else to report. Time to get ready for my hair appointment followed by Justice's vet appointment. Oh yeah, and pack for the shift in houses. So sick of packing!
Have a fantastic Friday!

Hello! I was going to say good morning, but it's already afternoon... where did the morning go?!
Looks like some thunderstorms building north of me. It would be nice if we got a little rain. The toad that just hopped across my patio would probably like it too.
My food continues to be mostly on track, scale was down a whopping 0.2, so basically I still sit in the same place. I think I could clean out some snacks from my day and maybe see if that helps. Snacking is not helpful and really just serves to not give your insulin/blood glucose a break which also prevents you from ever feeling real hunger if your blood glucose doesn't get a chance to drop...
Not much happening today as I have no plans. A walk, I think, and maybe work on tidying something around here. Top two areas are the office and my closet. Everything else is in good shape. I could also do some weeding. The landscaper still haven't finished that and I'm tired of looking at the non-flowering weeds.
So is everyone done with school? What are your plans for your summer days? I'm a fan of no plan plans myself...
Ooh, also have to make a doctor's appointment to talk Xarelto...
Take care everybody!
Greetings all
Another sunny day here but no birds can be heard due to lawn mowers. I took a box of unused kitchen stuff over to the senior center rummage sale. It was nice stuff - some hand made pottery and collectable dish things. But its stuff I had forgotten I had so why not dump it. They were glad to get it. Felt good. About 15 pounds of junk and it feels like I lost 15 pounds. Only 100 more boxes to go.
Then it was off to the studio to try to replenish my empty gallery space. Geez it's almost like a job.
Ocean Diane thanks for explaining who or what was mating. Aligators on the make sounds scary. turtles, well.....
DH got Chinese food and brought some home. My favorite recipe.
Yeah we are about 1.5 seasons into Dead to Me. Enjoying it.
Liz hope you get to where you can stay put. Traveling must impact sleep.
CC you are rocking weight control. Going about it in the best possible way. Kudos.
Not much else. Boring is good sometimes.

Still teaching until June 9. Today was the last day for seniors. They have activities next week like senior brunch, and graduation rehearsal etc. These kiddos were freshman when Covid started. They know something about resiliency.
Went to a co workers retirement party. The drinks were super strong. I got a little buzzed! I might still be buzzed! DH dropped me off, then went to meet up with a friend for dinner. His friend had been through the wringer the last few years, cancer, then the chemo killed his pancreas and left him with type 1 diabetes. He's finally on the mend, so they wanted to get together.
Tomorrow morning we're meeting up with some friends from college for breakfast. In the evening, we're going to be with our 2 best couples friends. Looking forward to it.
I was thinking about another aspect of Wegovy. I am sleeping so well lately. So Wegovy quiets down the repetitive or obsessive thoughts about food. Some people call it "food noise". For me, it has also cut down on the sort of nonsensical repetitive thoughts that made it hard to fall asleep. I LOVE this!!! I'm a big time ruminator. These repetitive thoughts, about food or the crazy things I ruminate about, must reside in the same place in our brains. There were a few repetitive thoughts I was really struggling with this winter, and I thought I was maybe going to have to do some cognitive behavioral therapy to deal with them. All gone. What a relief! Hormones are crazy stuff!!!
