Weight 118.6. Shot day tomorrow.

The weather was amazingly beautiful yesterday: Sunny and breezy and not humid. I love the fall here. We did some driving around and it is amazing to see how much damage the tornadoes did but just in isolated areas. Everywhere else looks like its usual idyllic self. Unfortunately some of the area**** were low income so it is a real struggle for them to have housing and food. We are looking for a good charity to donate where we know it will get to the right people.

I finished the post-bachelorette cleanup though I have to get the sheets back on the beds. There is still some unpacking to be done though all the hanging clothes are hung. Luckily UPS brought our big shipped boxes up to our door on the 3rd floor (no elevator).

Apparently the elevator has some electrical issue caused by the hurricane and there is no estimate on when it will be fixed. Good thing we can handle the stairs. My new lanai furniture is being delivered today so they will have to carry it up. The woman at the store said no problem as they are big guys. I hope that is the case.

I am disappointed to miss water aerobics today but didn't think of that when arranging the furniture delivery. But we will take a long Justice walk. I can star****er aerobics on Saturday morning. And we have 4 bocce games starting at 2 pm today.

ETA: Weird fish behavior in the water in front of our house last night. I think it might have been caused by a large school of fish? There was a large area perhaps 20-30 feet in diameter where you could see a lot of motion on the surface, then periodically there would be this loud whoosh with lots more movement on the surface. But you actually couldn't see what it was. Very strange.

Have a walking Wednesday!

Not much to report today except I am up a pound. Dang it! But on the flip side, I feel thinner. LOL! I am also quite sore from Monday's workout. The sore is a pleasant sore, though. Yes, I'm kind of freakish that I enjoy a certain level of soreness after a really good workout.

Interesting fish behavior. I wonder the cause?

Another progesterone test for Molly today. I'm really excited about the upcoming breeding. Though puppies arriving around Christmas and the New Year is not ideal timing. But, puppies are a blessing no matter when they come! I think Molly is going to be a fantastic Mama Dog. Fingers crossed.

Like Liz, my shot day is tomorrow. Though when I think about it, there doesn't seem to be a real reason to wait until tomorrow other than I have always taken the shot on Thursdays until last week when I took it on Wednesday. Creatures of habit are we! Who knows? Maybe I'll be wild and crazy and take it tonight and make Wednesdays my new shot day!

We are having an autumn day! It is overcast and there were light sprinkles this morning. But it is still warm enough to wear a light short sleeve shirt without a sweater. It's supposed to be in the mid 70s this afternoon.

Wunnerful Wednesday, everyone!

155.9. I'll take it!

DH and I got Covid and flu vaccinations today. So far no ill effects but it has only been 5 hours! Lots of bible studying today to prepare for tonight and tomorrow's groups. I did none last week so it is catch up time. Not ideal but I'll roll with it.

Making tostadas with the Mexican chicken recipe I posted a while back. Still one of the foods that almost always sounds good to me. Shot day tomorrow for me too! I'm going to stick with the 5 mg as long as it is working for me!

Liz, so happy you got a beautiful beach day! The fish behavior does seem a bit odd. Perhaps they were feeding?

Boo on the pound Peps but super yay on feeling thinner! That's what counts anyway! I was able to put on small leggings today and DH said they looked good! Tried on size 6 jeans yesterday and they are still a bit tight. I'll get there.

Poor Diane! Hope you are not having much pain!

Today was shot day. I was up 1.4 after being up 1 last week. So disappointing! I'm just hungry all the time. Sigh. With only 15mg ahead, I reluctant to go up and then have no room.

The latest (4th) grout color is the ticket! It looks good. So there is an end in sight for the tile project of the century.

I am going to go ahead with the scorpion barrier, but will wait a few weeks until the landscapers need to cut my sages back. They look so pretty now, I hate to cut their beauty short, but the barrier people need to get behind them to get to the foundation.

I picked up some caulking to add to the garage stuff that was done. I can still see some daylight through the cracks. Then picked up some soup ingredients.

Tomorrow I am going to go to the nursery in Prescott for some replacement perennials.

I think that's all that's rattling in my brain! Diane, your hand pic made me weak! Hope it doesn't hurt as bad as I fear it does...

Take care!
