Probably not Frasier, Niles, Martin, or Eddie Crane either!
No fall color yet. We've got a month maybe? Still so dang hot. 113 in Phoenix today. Unprecedented.
159.2. Calories have been low, probably too low.
Checked out a new to us church today and then lunched with some friends. Our current church had a mass exodus the past year and none of our peeps are there anymore. We were not going to leave and join a new church since we were going to be moving soon, but now that we are not moving we may flee as well. Church dynamics are weird sometimes!
Tried out the sous vide function on my new range today. Pictures on Facebook!
Need to start packing for the Door County trip tomorrow. Hair cut and color in the morning before we leave!

Greetings all
Sunny again here. After my usual coffee dawdling I went to the gym and did walking. No grunt man was present. Fast in, fast out.
Then we had the family zoom call that DSL presides over like a CEO. Baby announcement was made official and it's a boy. All good. The package sent to me and others was a little sort of memory box. Cute. After that it was studio time where I got some things done any my studio buddy got nothing done. She is a person who talks all the time and gets nothing done as a result. I am glad I am not such a person.
Liz you are the person of action. Goof off time is well deserved.
CC is there much fall color in Arizona? Hope it cools off soon so you can enjoy the fall balloons.
DD sounds like your scored on your shopping! Way to go.
So there was discussion on what this baby boy will be named. Their last name is Crane. So DH and I decided what NOT to name this kid is "Dwayne Hussein Crane" or "Wayne Blaine Crane". LOL not likely.
We started the Apple TV series "Lady in the Lake". It's intense, weird but compelling. We will likely watch the rest tonight.
Cheers. Diane S

I'm genuinely really glad you liked it! Maybe part of it is my selective short attention span? Slow, slice of life books are generally hard for me to stay engaged. I also, oddly, hate a flashback. So a book full of flashbacks is not going to be my favorite... And I kept thinking, there is no story in my life that would take that many days to tell!
CC, I finished Tom Lake and I really enjoyed it! It was refreshing to have main characters that were functional, grown up people. I welcomed a portrayal of a good marriage, and the fierce love the main character had for her children. That the plot, the rising action, came from an older woman's reminiscing about her youth made me stop and think about my "before" time. I was never on the cusp of such a momentous choice, but I can see that once upon a time, I had the opportunity to pursue a less conventional choice and my life would be different. I like the life I choose, which I think was one of the themes. The fact it focused on My Town was okay with me. Not my favorite play, but I wasn'****ching it be performed.
Dog hair is the pits!

These medications do feel like a miracle which is why we hate to give them up.
Sea foam is such a pretty color especially wearing it near the ocean.

Congratulations on reaching the finish line, Liz!
More heat here. I really do need to fertilize a few of the trees today, There are 3 that are dead or dying. Two I believe are still under warranty. But the rest of the trees look pretty good! I was also thinking this morning how nice the backyard looks. I used to think it was sparse from the previous owner's, but it's filling in nicely. I have a few plants to get for things that died over the summer, but it's not a lot. Two along the driveway, 5 in the back? I think Fall planting for perennials is a good thing, so I will go on the hunt. I may head to Prescott for that as I've already looked at the two stores here and didn't see anything. Some may have to wait until Spring unless I can find stuff.
I made that Thai soup last night. While it was good, the effort/clean up to payoff ratio was not favorable, so I won't be making it again.
Otherwise, I shall be cleaning today. The dog hair is piling up! Have a great day!
I hope there is some trizepatide solution in the works. I still don't see how there will not be a shortage once everyone tries to get it through the traditional pharmaceutical settings. DD is going to try and switch to her own insurance. Lots of hoops. One thing in her favor is she has tried other medications already like Topamax and Saxenda. But at least that might be an option for her. I know it's not for a lot of the tribe, that your insurances are just flat out no.
Yesterday, after coffee I went shopping at Macy's and then to Costco. I got several pairs of pants/ trousers in the Final Act section. I am happy to try out the new wide legged jeans trend with pants that cost $10. I do think this look is fresh and cute, but I'm not sure it's cute on me, and that it's going to last long enough to pay actual retail prices. I also bought a sequined tank in such a pretty shade of sea foam green for $9, although I have no idea just how I'll use it. Might have to season in my closet for a bit.
The Vikings are playing in London this morning, so DH starting watching at 8am this morning, while I've been reading the paper. They are currently winning, but every Vikings fan (or their spouse) knows heartbreak often comes in the 4th quarter.
My school's football team is 5-0 right now, and the kids are getting really excited. Are we heading for the state play-offs?
On our study of 2, DH had a headache after his Pfizer Covid shot, but did not get a fever or body aches as he had for the 4 previous Moderna shots. So not entirely conclusive, but in our household, Pfizer has the edge. I had no side effects at all from Flu or Covid vaccine on the same day.
On the prescription Trizepatide front, DH says he feels more restriction than with the maximum Wegovy dose. He is taking 5, so he had room to increase his dosage. It's too early to know if he's lost more weight.
Wegovy 1.7 about every 9 days is keeping me snuggly in maintenance. Feels like a miracle.
