Weight 121. Shot day today. Hopefully it will calm down my hunger, though it was better yesterday.

I was awake around 4 thinking about Florida. We all got up at 5 though Justice didn't seem like he was ready LOL. The damage reports from where my friends are don't seem too onerous yet, but the one from Venice still hasn't come in. Venice is just south of Siesta Key where Milton made landfall. On social media they are saying that it wasn't as bad as Ian so that is a good sign. Yesterday afternoon the fear where we live was Tornados. Several people in Fort Pierce, just south of Vero Beach, were killed in a Tornado. The power was out for about an hour in Vero late yesterday afternoon, then back on for the night but it went out again early this morning. I get notices from the camera in the house when it goes out. I should clarify that this will happen when either power or Wi-Fi goes out, but likely it was the power.

Today we will just wait to hear how bad it is. I expect the power outages on the west coast of Florida will be a big deal for the next few days.

I should clarify what the CEO at DS's company planned. He wasn't going to fly if commercial airlines weren't flying. He was going to use the corporate jet if they couldn't rebook the employees on a commercial airline early enough. Right now they are rebooked to fly in late today on a commercial flight, but that will only happen if Orlando Airport is open by then. We have a friend in Orlando *****ported that it was raining hard and he had no power but there wasn't much damage there. At that point the hurricane was just getting to the east coast so still passing over Orlando.

Today the plan is to ship the Florida boxes then meet DH's sisters for dinner off-Cape. Have a thrifty Thursday!

I'm having those "I'm forgetting to do something important" feelings. And yet nothing on the books today. Except cleaning up the massive amount of stuffed toy guts all over the floor in three rooms... And I'm sure with very little effort I could come with with a hundred other things that need to be done.

I know the hurricane was bad as most hurricanes are, and many have lost everything which I can't begin to comprehend, but I'm relieved it wasn't as bad as the news fear-peddlers described. My friend's son is a commercial roofing repair project manager in Tampa and stayed behind to start work as soon as the storm passed. No doubt he will be very busy in the coming weeks.

Thinking I should go walk the dog before it gets too hot. They have extended the heat predictions half a dozen times stretching it weeks now. We might be in the mid 80s by the end of the weekend.

Take care all!

I wish I was in 80+ degree weather. It is in the low 50s and windy here. I am freezing! I hope we can back to Florida on schedule Monday.

Up a full pound from Tuesday. Eh... I kind of carbed out yesterday, so no big surprise. LIz's donut craving hit me in a big way. Auntie Kathryn brought over a bag of donuts. I ate a few donut holes and half a jelly donut. UGH...

Interesting observation: with only the 20 units of tirzepatide on board vs. 63 units, my satiety level rapidly adjusted to allow for larger meals. I decided to go ahead and take my shot a day early since I essentially missed last week. I will try to get back on my normal Thursday schedule next week. I'm interested to see how long it takes the med to kick in and lower my satiety level.

I don't believe the lack of medicine caused the carb consumption yesterday, but rather the fact that it was the appearance of free donuts and the fact that donuts were on my mind because of Liz's comment. It was a perfect "donut storm". Liz, you are not alone!

I purposely stayed off the news this morning. I did not want to see devastation in Florida. I'm really glad to know that the hurricane caused less damage than anticipated. However, the addition of tornados to a hurricane seems like overkill. Not very nice of Mother Nature. I wonder how the Manatees fare during hurricanes and flooding. Alligators, too.

Good news on doggy teeth! Bug's bite is almost normal. I think another week or two and her bite will be completely correct! Yay!!!!

Not much else from here.

I told you donuts are little buggers!

So glad to hear that Bug's teeth are straightening out.

Greetings all

It's a sunny crisp fall day. I had a significant chore list which I managed to complete. Pet store for dog food, CVS for coffee and travel stuff, walking at the gym, stop at the bank to cash a check and get $ for house sitter and finally visit to the studio. So all is good. DH is making a Costco run; in part because he wants to practice charging our newer electric car on a public charger. We have only charged it at our home. I am sure it will be fine. Have to plan a bit to make a 250 mile trip in an electric car though we have all the charger apps and such. So he will have fun and I get to control the tv.

Donuts! Bet I have not had one in a couple of years! It's helpful that I do not have a job at a place where such things appear. But an annual donut never hurt anyone. Not even a monthly one.

Well the one person I know in Tampa is fine. Seems like preparation was pretty good and loss of life not as high as anticipated. I don't envy anyone who has debris to clean up. When is hurricane season over? Soon I hope.

I made some hamburger with macaroni last night. Plain but decent. DH did not want an ordinary hamburger. More for tonight.

Just realized I have to work on the guest bedroom before we leave so house sitter has it clean. Must investigate as DH tend to deposit debris in there when I am not looking.

Thats about it. Stay well all.

LOL: "DH tends to deposit debris in there when I am not looking" - Seems like a lot of husbands have this tendency (definitely mine).

You guys think I am organized, but I would have to have a checklist on my phone if I had multiple errands to do like yours. In fact, I have one for this afternoon!
