170.4, essentially unchanged. Yesterday was injection day. Calories remain around 1,000 per day. It is getting easier to get them in. I'll need to order my next shipment of meds in the next day or so and I plan on staying on the 5 mg since it is working (mostly) for me. I wouldn't want to reduce consumption any more.

Woke up with urinary frequency and figured I was probably getting a UTI and by lunch time had lots of blood in my urine. Went to PCP and yep, UTI and now on 10 days of antibiotics. Feeling a little punky. Bummer!

Glad your Bachelorette weekend went well Liz and you are back home! Peps, thanks for the reverse dieting links. Ann, fingers crossed your condo offer is accepted!

Gonna rest easy until these meds kick in and I start feeling better!

I hope the antibiotics work quickly. A UTI is so uncomfortable.

Greetings all

It's sunny and warm. Started the day with Scrabble and I beat the Shark! By a lot!! Lost the other two games but defeating the shark is most satisfying. Because it rarely happens.

Yeah Peps the financial part of retiring is nerve wracking. Early on I would go to the grocery (on a tuesday morning) and actively compare pricing to an obsessive extent. After a few years it became apparent that stuff just sort of falls in to place. Plus I started making and selling art work for a few extra bucks. You will no doubt do grooming and handling. It will work. I tell everyone who is thinking of retiring to just go for it.

Paula sorry you are sick! Drink the old cranberry juice and take the drugs and get well soon.

Liz its so odd the dance we do with getting enough vs too much to eat. Why is a middle ground so hard for some of us? But consider that your activity level has been pretty high lately even if it's not gym stuff.

CC those clouds do look like a space ship. Close Encounters? Space ships always show up in remote areas. Yay for dumping the meetings. Our studio board got cancelled for tomorrow. Yay again.

Shrimp last night was great. More tonight and forever until we are sick of it. These are really large ones.

My phone tells me when DH is taking Poppy for a walk which he did today. I was getting ready to get after him because he told our doctor he had been exercising and he actually had not for awhile. Of course, he could rat me out that I only do 10 minutes on the treadmills but oh well.

Ann I hope you guys get the place. Wishing you the energy to deal with all that moving. Just talked to an old friend who is up here selling their second home because they just can't do two anymore. She has to deal with all the stuff because her husband is sick. Stuff stuff stuff who needs it? Anyway best wishes for the new home.

Must go do an adult thing. Pay an insurance bill.

Congrats on beating the Shark! And shrimp.....super yummy!

Congrats on a win against the Shark!

Yes, lots of STUFF in homes, even second homes though this one is worse than Florida because it was my first home for a while. Good luck to your friend dealing with it all.
