OMG CC, what a trial! I started rueful laughing when I read about smoke in the restaurant, and then there was MORE! Hope you are more rested today.

The trip from hell! I don't think much else could have gone wrong!

145.6 or 7? Can't remember! Are we losing it Peps?

Liz, sorry Justice is reacting to his shots and sorry this trip isn't for a reason you would choose. I hope you do get to see some people you normally don't see around Christmas!

Tonight we are having a social gathering with our couple's Bible study group. One family is hosting and we will all bring appetizers or desserts. I'm bringing shrimp ****tail and caprese salad. Always smart to bring something you can eat!

Nice that your bible study group becomes a group of friends. I think the community of religion has gotten lost in many places. I was not catholic but my deceased DH and my kids were. The local parish church was walking distance away and the same priest was there for 20 years. He became a member of everyone's family and that church was a true Community (including me, a non-catholic). Now with the priests rotating, people don't really know them and church activities are more sporadic so I think a lot of that has been lost. Just IMHO.

Greetings all

The rain has started after an overcast day. I stayed home. I attacked "Mount Laundry" as DH calls it. He waits until every single thing he owns is dirty and then does it all at once in a marathon. I don't do that but quite a bit has piled up so it's three loads today so far. I had planned to go to the studio but just did not feel like it. So it's True Crime and laundry for me. DH at least got the dogs out for a walk before the rain.

As Peps said funerals are never fun. Even seeing people you have not seen in a while does not make up for it Liz. I hope the trip goes smoothly and that you can enjoy the company even on a sad occasion. Hope Justice perks up and that sciatica sister does ok.

CC that sounds like the holiday event from hell. Hours on a crappy bus followed by crappy show. Reminds me to always have an escape route planned for any event. LOL at the show descriptions.

Peps that looks like a killer workout. No wonder you are muscle man. Still not sure how you will do 140g protein but good on you for trying. I have a friend who eats almost no plants. Not sure why but he looks well. Out to dinner he gets a 20 oz steak.

Tomorrow we go see the new dentist. I am prepared to flee if this one makes me nervous. I can usually tough out about anything but a scary dental experience in college has made me a chicken. Fingers crossed,

A few days ago I was getting ready to shower in the am. Major poop event inspired me to weigh myself. Not pretty and neither was the scale. Guess my 47 calories burned by ritual waddling is not enough.

Not much else. DH brought home deli turkey sandwich. Time to address Mount Laundry.

I'm currently at 77 grams of protein. I will do a Fairlife shake (30 grams, I believe) and then have chicken breast for dinner. I won't quite make it, but I'll be close I think.

I hate going to the dentist too but it must be done to retain the teeth. Our first dentist when I was a kid didn't believe in Novocain and I needed a fair number of fillings. I think he was a sadist. Enough said.
