Speaking of energy ... next bday (in December) I'll turn 79. That number sounds so bizarre. I certainly don't feel or move like I imagined decades ago I'd be feeling and moving at this age. To be clear, I feel and move really well.

I do know how very, very fortunate and privileged I am to be so healthy and mobile at this age. So much of our late-in-life has to do with our genetic inheritances.

I also know how quickly at this phase of life (which has many phases) one's self-satisfaction in feeling and acting younger than one's contemporaries can be crushed by a life altering diagnosis or an accident.

But until then I'll follow my doctor's advice and "Just keep moving!"

I want to be just like you when I grow up!

You set an example to aspire to!! I've loved having you popping back in here!

Second shot in last night. Can't feel the needle at all. Slight burning afterwards but not for long at all.

Spent the day cleaning DCs - 4 hours for a 10x20 kitchen! Made dinner, did DCs laundry, made up the guest room with clean linens after Mom's visit and have a webinar at 7, so quite a busy day.

Have not eaten much today since I skipped lunch while away cleaning. I think I will have some dried mangos (last BM was a little stubborn) and try and get some more protein in via a yogurt. Didn't feel hungry at all today but not nauseous or having food aversions either.

Talk about being a whirlwind! Glad the med seems to be well tolerated. If you are a stress eater (like many of us), you have certainly giving it a real test over the last week.
