Nice report from the WLS clinic!

Boob talk make me uncomfortable? Surely, you jest! I can talk about taboo subject better than most. Perhaps sadly, pretty much NOTHING is off limits in my book. I'll pretty much talk about it all. I have a friend who is a polyamorous dominatrix. Some of the conversations we've had could peel back wallpaper!
Weight was down a few tenths this morning. Not that I count, but I do like getting closer to the next lower ones digit on the scale. My "wearable" clothes are waning. I am finding that I am emotionally refusing to wear certain pieces because they feel too tent like. That so contrasts to a year ago when tent like clothing was preferred.
The wedding is in REAL time now. It's here. Have the best and most joyous time, Liz.
GLP-1 meds.... Yes, the cost is unreal, but wow! The benefit pretty much outweighs the cost for me. My hope is to continue for maintenance. Even if I have to use savings, I will do it. I don't think I will, but I'm going to allow myself that essential health luxury in retirement.
More dog breeder angst... Not seeming to catch many breaks lately. Bug's hips are fantastic, but her teeth are not coming in properly and not in a mild way. Looks like her canines are going to be on the INSIDE of her mouth instead of the cheeks side (lingual vs. distal). UGH!!! and BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Happy Hump Day!
I love that you are open to discussing anything. I'm sure that is part of the reason your students have loved you.
I guess you can't put braces on a dog?!?!

Oh, there are a few doggie dentists, but the problem is that a bad mouth is genetic and can be passed down. Don't want to breed dogs that need orthodontia. In my line of dogs there is a predisposition to have a narrow jaw as a puppy, but the jaw self corrects about the same age as the baby teeth fall out and the adult teeth come in. Bug is not showing this correction. Fingers crossed....
161.6. Another smidge down. I can tell injection day is tomorrow. Asked DH to go to Dairy Queen. He was thrilled. Went over my 1,000 calories today but not by much!
Worked the garden today and prepped some for my women's Bible study tomorrow. I'm skipping couples study tonight since DH works, I certainly could go solo but was kind of looking for an excuse not to go anyway!
Step daughter texted that she wants to come home last weekend of October and go to essentially a nurse stand up comedy show at our local Performing Arts Center (she follows the nurse on Tik Tok). I'm thrilled that she is reaching out to me and wanting to connect more. She also calls or texts periodically to vent/talk. I'm glad I have become a safe place for her. To say we've come a long way is an understatement! DH is a little hurt that he wasn't invited to the show, but we will do a late birthday dinner in his honor while she is here!
I love that you and your stepdaughter are forming a bond. She needs you and you need a daughter

Greetings all
Fat ass boobs unite! It's good to know that I am not the only person in the world whose mama report says almost entirely fat. Guess it's a good thing as it means non dense. Also, If I were on the titanic I would have my own flotation device. Come to think of it, I have always been a good floater.
So I started the day with my treadmill walk. I increased the time by a tiny bit as I realized how pathetically low my distance was. Baby steps. Still have not figured out the tv issue. After that it was studio time and glazing. Not sure if my preferred kiln will fire this week.
Yay DD on good report from your clinic. You are so right to do this and so is your clinic. Enjoy the weekend any maybe meet DS girlfriend??
Ok Liz get ready to enjoy the benefits of all your planning and effort. Have a great time.
Yeah Paula I remember seeing medical reports in connection with legal issues. They always said "well nourished". None said "over-nourished"'
CC seems like no one wants books anymore yet we hate to toss them. I am actually impressed you unpacked them after only two years. Has it really been that long since you moved?
Peps sorry about Bug's teeth. My dentist back in the midwest told me he once fixed a sheltie's teeth with a vet running the anesthetic. Wonder what sort of bet he lost!
More chili tonight. I did not eat any last night as I had a half cheeseburger left from lunch and was not hungry. Just ate some tuna salad which hits the spot.
It's been overcast all day. Fall is coming....
Seems strange to me, too. I didn't realize you'd been in Arizona that long.
