Greetings all
Another great fall day. Parents out with toddlers looking at leaves.
DH now has the cold. He got some cough syrup and stuff. I finally got ahold of doctor office but I don't know if they will prescribe codeine if I don't go in for a visit. I would do that but it's aways away and they are always slammed. Oh well.
So I actually don't feel too horrible and decided to make my grocery run for Halloween. Most of what we will eat is from the deli that I will pick up day of but this is for pickles and olives and bread and such.
Still trying to shovel out the house. Lots to be moved around and I at least cleared a few surfaces.
Yep, home cooking is all good. I made the chili last night and now we will have it for a couple of days. Need to make some fridge room for the white wine and other stuff.
Home maintenance never ends, does it? The house across the street is getting new siding. There is constant home improvement going on over there which is why I call it the Winchester Mystery House.
Having a cold is one way to diet. I did not finish my eggs today so Poppy scored.
DH is very intrigued by this weird show Kaos. I am not into it that much but we shall see. I think I figured out its message and now it's just ho hum.
Not much going on. Cheers

Good Halloween words!
Funny you should say that about sweet stuff. We went through the freezer the other day and there were several lower calorie sweet things that I always have kept around for when I have cravings. But since I have been on GLP-1 medication I have not craved sweets at all. I threw them out.

154.1, up a smidge. I resisted the pumpkin patch treats yesterday but had a slice of the apple pie guilt free for breakfast. I?ve hardly eaten anything like that at all since June so I was due!
Domestic day of laundry, dishes, etc. Weather is very nice outside so we will be grilling hamburgers for dinner. I think I will also try out the air fryer on my new oven and make crinkle cut potato slices.
DSD and fiancé will be here until Saturday I think. Too bad DH is working all week!
Hmmmmmm, Halloween alliterations for Tuesday: traumatizing, terrible, terrifying, tantalizing, torturous, tragic. Take your pick for Thursday! Boo!
Weight 119. Great home-cooked dinner last night. I marinated pork tenderloin cut into pieces and grilled it on skewers with onions and peppers (vegetables partially pre-cooked in microwave). Sometimes it is nice to eat at home! Lemon pepper chicken and salad may be on the menu today.
Water aerobics yesterday was excellent - it felt good to be moving and she does a great job with using every part of the body. I did realize as I have for a while how much restriction there is on my arm behind my back due to the mechanics of a reverse replacement. The other shoulder doesn't allow a lot either so not a big deal.
Don't you sometimes hate how To Do lists never end? We finally got the garage door up to snuff but we need to replace the lock in the back door of the garage, have a plumber fix a few minor but irritating issues and have an electrician move a ceiling light. Nothing overwhelming but always something. At least I am done with that for another house though DH who just did a lot of large projects in his Cape Cod home has to replace the deck now and he wants to put in a fence. The estimates he has gotten are ridiculously high because his house is so far out on Cape Cod (near Provincetown). Not a lot of workers out that far.
Not much on the agenda today other than a long Justice walk between showers and DH has an appointment with an orthopedist for a slipped disk in his back causing periodic sciatica. I guarantee they are going to send him to PT for appropriate exercises.
Have a thrilling/chilling Tuesday (maybe Peps came come up with a better word for Halloween week)!

Congratulations! I know what you mean about soup weather- we don't really have that much with our schedule. But I love soup on a cold day.

May have to Google shelf life of codeine LOL!
I just hate changing the time - either way. I'd just as soon leave it the same all year and I don't care if we pick standard time or daylight savings.

We started the Lincoln Lawyer on your recommendation. Very good so far!

More sun today though it rained heavily last night. Between that and coughing it was a noisy night for DH. But I am happily tripping along on my cold pill - no wonder they are used to make illegal drugs. So I picked up and delivered payroll and stopped at CVS to get coffee. They were out of what I want so I might be forced to order from Amazon. ick. Then on to the studio to pick up new stuff. Hauled it up to the gallery and picked up cash for deposit. Beautiful drive up the coast.
Yeah I am with Peps - I like fall back but hate spring forward. During my working years it felt like I had a little extra me time on that one day. But soon it will be dark by 5 pm and I don't like that. Many years ago I went to the Philippines. It's close to the equator so the difference in day length is not much. Dark at 6 pm no matter what. I do enjoy changes in seasons.
Yay Paula on progress. And yay for soup. My favorite thing too. The chili I have been threatening to make for days is going to happen tonight. Burger needs to be cooked. So we will eat healthy for a few days. Not tempted by all the halloween candy.
So last night DH left a dish of potato salad on his chair arm while he attended to Tesla. Well, Poppy seized the opportunity and helped herself to it. Tee Hee I think it was a plot by the two dogs to distract DH.
We started a new series called Kaos last night. It's the idea that the greek gods from Mount olympus are real and in the present day. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus. Not sure if I like it but DH does. I think its kind of making fun of religion in general.
I attempted to call the doctor's office with the idea of scoring some codeine cough syrup. Could not even get a call through. I have a bottle of the stuff but it's 12 years old. Might be ok for scotch but probably not medicine.

153.7, finally broke that 154-155 stall (at least for today).
The "kids" and I went to the pumpkin patch today. My big indulgence was a Lavender Latte! Picked up an apple pie and some apple muffins. I might have a bite or two of the pie tonight, or maybe not. The kids all got a caramel apple. I wasn't even tempted in the least! Thank goodness for the GLP 1 and I'm on a reduced dose this week!
Making homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner with either rosemary focaccia bread or just crusty bread (I have both). I love soup season!
And a great Morbid Monday to you too LOL!
