21 lbs. down! 40 to go! 1/3 of the way there in 2 ish months isn?t bad. Need to go clothes shopping in my closet. 12?s are officially too big (at least the pair of pants I have on today). If I can easily slip them off without unbuttoning or unzipping, I declare them too big!
Spent 4 hours of my day cuddling a baby. Our Bible study couple that are new parents needed a break and needed to get caught up on some sleep so ?Grandma? Paula came to their rescue. Not sure if I will have my own grand babies or not, so gotta get those snuggles in any chance I can.
Got a denial from the Pharm manager for my insurance for the Tirzepatide. Not sure why yet and not sure if it is worth fighting. Nobody wants to pay for things without a fight anymore! I remember how much I had to fight the insurance companies when Ben was battling cancer. Refusing scans after he had a reoccurrence of his cancer! Pissed me off royally!
Rainy, cooler day today. Perfect for baby snuggles! Gotta heat up last night?s leftovers soon! DH will be home from work any minute!
Lucky you to have a baby cuddling day! I'm also not sure I will ever be a grandmother which still surprises me in a lot of ways because I became a mother at such a young age and my oldest daughter always loved children.

Greetings all
Another beautiful day here. Sunny and breezy. Started the day with visit to doctor to fog mirror. My cholesterol is high and always has been but it's worse. He wants me to do red rice yeast since lipitor made me miserable. He is so funny. He told me I had plenty of attitude. LOL got that right. Then I went to the studio and made a few things. Power washing is going on outside my window so thats kind of noisy. Stopped at the hippie health food for a few things including red rice yeast. There was a farmers market outside so I got some green beans and cherry tomatoes. I would like to make rattatouie but DH hates it.
CC it seems your dad is experiencing some aging stuff. I have observed some older people lose a bit of their "finesse" in social situations and sometimes react in a slightly childish way. Crazy Pat had those issues big time and was angry and cranky a lot and it helped me to think of it as aging and not just that she was a mean witch! Sorry you and Claudia have to deal with it. And teenage Kirby must be a handfull. My niece the vet checked the bones of the puppy she got from me before she was spayed to insure bone development was sufficient. But that was a small dog. She things animal welfare groups have pushed veterinary opinion into early spay neuter and its best to wait. I let all my puppy buyers choose since I knew they were not going to haphazardly reproduce.
DD how cool is that reading program!!! It must be awful to be a kid and go to school and not being able to read well which makes everything else impossible. I think kids need to start learning to read from birth by hearing language and being read to. I feel lucky to have had parents that recognized this and I can't remember not knowing how to read. It's such a gift. You are a gift to your students!
Liz hope you get rodent free car soon. I saw some internet post about anti rodent spray for cars. Who knows.
Great job Paula on 21 lbs. Good on you for baby duty. Such a sweetie.
Ann enjoy your lazy summer days. Thats what summer is for.

I was always told I should have my puppies spayed or neutered at 6 months. Very interesting to hear that there is a reason to wait. Justice wasn't neutered until he was 3 so he had plenty of time beforehand.
