Weight 123.2.

Lots of good stuff yesterday: Winning against the shark, combining homes requiring clearing out of clutter and donating to family members, listening carefully, winning shows, and trying to eat enough. We lead busy lives at times.

On the question of when the medication is most effective, I would say generally the second to third day for me if I noticed a difference at all. When it is at its most effective it seems to be about the same most every day though it might trail off a bit the last day.

Busy day yesterday with 4 appointments and out to a birthday dinner. The Purchase and Sale Agreement did get signed. Apparently the buyers had signed it Monday night but the lawyers didn't get it to me until 11:30 am, 1/2 hour before the deadline. But a new frustration- the furnace technician came and looked at what the inspector said was a problem. He said he couldn't figure out why the inspector wrote what he did (that there was a risk that a certain part could corrode and cause carbon monoxide leakage). He said that couldn't happen. There were 2 slightly loose screws causing a little water leakage that had stained the cabinet which he tightened then cleaned the stain as best he could. He described what he did on the invoice which I sent to my broker and lawyer. Now the other broker wants to know if he tested for carbon monoxide leakage. He didn't because the supposed issue wouldn't cause that regardless of what the inspector wrote. Reminds me of when I was getting a mortgage on my first Florida place and the appraiser had written that it was an over 55 community (it wasn't). The mortgage underwriter kept insisting on receiving the over 55 HOA documents which didn't exist since it wasn't an over 55 community. We had to make the appraiser change his appraisal to remove that before the underwriter would approve the mortgage. I asked my broker to ask theirs what wording they were looking for to clear the issue.

Anyway, at the end of the day we had a fun evening with the ladies (2 SILs, 2 nieces, and me). Lots of laughs.

Today I need to bring my car for servicing and get a loaner car. I actually hope it isn't ready until tomorrow because it is about an hour round trip. I'd prefer not to have to do that twice in one day. Not much else on the agenda.

Have a winsome Wednesday!

Greetings all

Great day here though there was a little mist in Eureka. Went to scrabble where I won two and lost one. Beat The Shark! Lost the last game by only a couple of points. Then I picked up my Tuesday cheeseburger at a little place where I can read the San Francisco Chronicle while I wait. A good newspaper is such a treat. We used to subscribe but too dang many papers around.

Ann good to hear from you. Yep we spend the first half of our lives acquiring stuff and the rest getting rid of it. Glad you have younger family who is willing to take it. That was my mom's justification for saving absolutely everything. Went to the dump. And good on you for seeking 1 story house. It's what is needed.

Stopped at the studio and glazed more.

SH has Poppy out for a walk. I know this because my phone tracks her and tells me when she leaves the house. Also DH is not here. Good clue.

I have the Olympics on. Water polo. A sport I do not understand and don't especially want to. Looks like under water football. But the mens gymnastics last night was fabulous. And all the muscular young men... Women's gymnastics tonight even though I already know who wins...

Paula hope you have a great pool day. Nothing better in July. Wait, july is almost over!

Liz I bet your sale goes through. So mu*****onsequential stuff can delay stufff including lawyers and staff who are not that concerned about a couple of hours.

Yay Peps for Molly! Sounds like the trip is going well. What a trooper she is!.

Not much else. Remainder of turkey BLT wrap for dinner tonight.

Busy day today! I get my hair cut and colored at 10:30, will try and eat some lunch (couldn't get all of my breakfast down) and then going to a friend's pool to hang out in this humid weather. DS2 will arrive this afternoon and I will make us ahi tuna sushi bowls for dinner. He needs to pick up some of his stuff here for his new apartment so it will be a short trip for him!

When do you notice the meds peaking after injection? I'm thinking it's day 2 or 3 for me. Food just sounds yucky to me right now. I will try to be diligent in getting my protein in. Friend wants to do ****tails by the pool but I will pass on those!

Glad that you stopped in to say hi Ann!

I'll quickly try to catch y'all up on my stuff.

My weight's doing fine. I'm now hovering between 125-128. The rather unexpected additional weight loss (coinciding with selling DF's home, us moving back to my home, working on my home, looking for a single-floor new home for us, and all the physical exertions and emotional impacts of those transitions) has finally stabilized. I've weighed in this range for the last 6 weeks. I have to admit that I don't hate how I look at this weight. Admittedly, I still need more pants that fit.

I continue to make progress on my home inspection punch list--2 new dishwashers installed, trash compactor repaired for $100 (didn't have to spend $1800 for a new one), electrician's fixing some minor GFCI issues, found someone who knows how to repair a glass door that doesn't open (locking mechanism is frozen), etc. I'm glad I have a few months to finish things up. Declutterring is going well and continues.

I haven'****ched much of the Olympics yet, but that will change soon. Mostly I'm awed by how beautiful the world's best athletes are!

This morning I have a hair appointment and a few errands, then later we'll be clearing out all the kitchen stuff I need to get rid of. There are so many duplications when you're combining two big homes. Happily, there are post-college grandchildren and nieces now establishing their own homes who look forward to receiving some of this stuff.

That's all I've got now, unless you want to hear me opine about political goings-on, but I know you don't.

Shoot! I just lost my post because I hit one of the ads on the page by mistake.

Weight 122.6. Yesterday it rained most of the day so I didn't do much other than get my car inspected, finish a book, and finally take Justice for a long walk by the water in late afternoon.

Today the Purchase and Sale contract signing and escrow delivery deadline is at noon. Haven't heard anything since their attorney contacted mine early Friday saying that her clients wanted it done as they were nervous. Not that nervous apparently. Now I am worried. I really don't want to have to start showing the place again. Maybe we should have stayed at DH's home until it was signed.

I have multiple appointments today which I hate though I used to plan them this way when I was young and working. After that I am out to dinner with 2 SILs and 2 nieces. DH is going to his house with Justice for work around his house and a beach walk with Justice. He wants to try hitting golf balls which he hasn't been able to do for over 2 weeks after straining something in his leg. He usually plays 3 times a week this time of year so is really missing it.

Time to press submit before I mess up and press the wrong place on the screen again. Have a tactual Tuesday!
