Quick post! Several of my co-workers are now using Wegovy/Ozempic with success. One is 44 and has a heart condition and a Mom my age with type 2 diabetes. I am so happy for her to have access to this medication that can improve her health beyond just the benefits of weight loss.
Our visit to the winery yesterday was excellent. I had a red wine flight while we sat on a shady lawn, listening to an excellent jazz quintet. Will definitely visit again.
Another good day with my students. I believe I need to report that things are going well after all the lamentations of the previous year. May it continue.
Cookies for sure to those who donate blood, along with our thanks!
Greetings all
The day started sunny but then the fog came in with a vengeance! Its thick! Gallery duty this afternoon and there were a few customers. Things will slow down from now until Christmas time which is fine by me. Gives me time to catch up.
Chili for at least one more night. This was an especially good batch. I think it's the super lean beef plus the high quality chili powder.
Yay Liz for completing the picture project. Sounds like DH birthday went well. Rooftop bar. Fun.
Paula you are a scrapbook fiend! Good for you for keeping all that stuff. You kids will love it someday if not now.
Not much planned here. Scrabble tomorrow. If I feel brave I might go donate blood since they are begging for O+ right now and I have it. Dr. said I am ok to donate. Truth be told it's an excuse to eat some cookies.
Yep nuts are a great protein source. Someone told me to get unsalted ones and then you are less tempted to overdo on them. Lately the almonds from the health food store have been not-so-hot. New source must be found. Sunnyland Farms mail order has great nuts.

Me too. I expect some food aversion as an injection peaks but at least I feel I can eat now and my energy the last 2 days has been better too! Hallelujah!

The problem is I have a whole closet full of scrapbooks. Each kid has about 10-12 12X12X5 inch books and I probably have the same number (or more) of family/vacation scrapbooks. I scrapbooked the kid's entire lives through high school and a little beyond!

So glad to read the food aversion has ended! It's one thing to be "unhungry", but a whole different thing to be food averse! I'm glad the "food noise" is quieted. That's been my experience about 95% of the time I've been on the meds. It certainly is a blessing!
Scrapbooks! And I feel pleased about sorting pictures...

166.5, exactly the same! Food aversion/complete disinterest seems to be gone now but food noise still quieted, just what I am hoping for!
Helped DH with trimming bushes and it seems like he stirred up some ground bees. Sprayed the area with bee killer but they are still swarming. Will try and find the entrance later this evening and use bee killing powder. They are small little things but seem pretty angry to have been disturbed. No stings yet! Wondering if that is where Bella picked up the bee in her paw a week or so ago. Will have to let the dogs out the back door instead of the front door for a bit.
Still working on finishing up my scrapbooks. Did the last of the journaling today and will need to start cutting out titles on my Wishblade (cutting machine) and then finish putting it all on the pages and then into albums.
Beautiful day today. Sunny and warm but not hot! Fish tacos for dinner!

Sometimes nuts work for me, but sometimes they make me crave more. DH used to consume large quantities of nuts and would say they were healthy, but finally listened when I pointed out that one handful was a serving. He would eat 4-5 servings at a time.

Blink, Stretch, Yawn and a sunny good morning from SEKANSAS. Just back from an out and about with the Swann, stopping at porch for usual 5 minute pit stop for a face de-seeding session (just about the only downside to Autumn).
It's coffee with Kurt, then need to schedule some work to be completed- hate living with other's schedules, but stuff needs to get done and....
Labor Day has come and gone, but there are still plenty of end of summer fun to be had, so have at it and enjoy! Who knows, maybe after coffee, I just might have to forget about those calls till tomorrow
