Hi, everyone...I'm back, at least sort of. The last couple of months have been rough...My DH's celebration of life is a week from tomorrow.

On the weight side, I'm still maintaining, down to a pretty low dose of semaglutide...

I don't know how much I'll be contributing, but I'm going to try to swing by everyday and read everything, as I have missed the group.

Thanks!!

Lizanne

I wrote up a post yesterday and forgot to post it. Not much to report here. I took my first namebrand shot again on Wednesday. I forgot how easy Eli Lilly makes it! First off it's a TINY amount injected even at 12.5 mg, and if I didn't see the change in the injector window, I wouldn't have even known anything happened. That's a big difference from injecting 125 ccs in two very full syringes.

No trick-or-treaters here. There aren't many kids in Sedona, and none in my neighborhood. In fact, most people in my 'hood are second third or fourth homeowners and are rarely here. Good thing I like quiet!

The air has taken on a chill here in the high desert. I turned on the in-floor heating and the fireplace last night, but I'm trying to hold off on the regular heat as long as I can. I hate the way it feels.

No official plans for today. My friend is coming from England in a week so I should work on tidying up my little piles and doing some deeper cleaning.

Take care everyone!

Weight 119. My cravings for junk subsided mostly after my early morning injection yesterday. My written check-in with HenryMeds was this morning. I hear they are still providing tirzepatide to existing patients but won't take on new ones for injectable tirzepatide. I suspect they will schedule an online visit since I moved to a different state between the last check-in and this one.

We had a drink with our newly back neighbors below us before dinner last night. Such really lovely people. They are in their mid 80's and found the transition between homes to be very discombobulating this time. They don't drive it anymore (from NY), but they found it difficult to arrive without their packed car which comes today. Like all of us they hate to ask for help though we did take them to get a rental car yesterday. We would have picked up some food ahead of time if they had told us what to get but they didn't want to do that. Maybe next year? Funny that my DH who professes not to care what his surroundings are made a comment that he liked our condo much more. They have exactly the same layout but all the walls, floors and cabinets are pure white. It makes it light but maybe a little antiseptic? Our kitchen cabinets are light grey, our floor is wood look tile, and our walls are painted in light colors (with white wainscoting in the living room/dining room).

I put a video up from wedding pictures on TT. I hope you enjoy it.

Today we have an HOA board meeting at 10, then at least a few errands. Tomorrow is pretty busy. Time to get out early for our walk before the meeting. Have a thrifty Thursday!

Im glad that your Halloween was a good one all around! Do you keep the dogs closed up in a room? I used to have to do that to answer the door for trick or treaters.

I love heated seats even in Florida - we didn't have them on the last car and I missed them, but we do on this one. Sometime around January they will be needed!

Interesting that we both had the hungry horrors the night before our injections. Must be that when you are just at a maintenance level on that dose it doesn't always hold out for the entire week.

Cold and wet is the worst! Much worse than cold and snowy.

Quick iPad checking. Great Halloween on our street. We had over 500 kids by the time we shut down at 8::30. The kids were all so cute and polite - even the big kids. It was all fun. Dh and his friend did most of the candy distribution so the rest of us could eat, drink and be merry. We had way too much food so I sent it home. Still loads of cold cuts for days. Being sick plus recent hand surgery caused a few issue but overall it was fine

more tomorrow,, trick or treat
