Poor Kirby feet! I wonder if they toughen up over time?

Good news here.... Stomach upset, intestinal gurgling, and sudden urgency have been absent all day. KNOCK ON WOOD, I hope it stays that way.
Other good news, is that Buster got a small piece of the pie today. Of the 20 something males shown today, he was #4 getting what is called an Award of Merit (recognition for being in strong competition for best of breed). That is more than I had hoped for and am delighted to be starting the long weekend of the biggest and best terrier show in the USA on such a strong note!
I got an email from Orderly Meds today about the non shortage of tirzepatide. Their plan is to ask compounding pharmacies to add B12, L-Carnatine, or some other vitamin type of supplement to the mix to alter the formula. Should be able to do that and still sell it to customers. The other thing they will be doing is allowing customers/clients/patients to order more than one month at a time. I am not too worried. If I have to go back on to the Semaglutide (which has an expired patent), I will do so. I prefer the tirzepatide, though.
Happy Birthday, Elise. I imagine after the wedding weekend, Elise's birthday is especially bittersweet. Hugs, mom.
Last night's full moon caused an up tick in adolescent nonsense yesterday. It always does. Today we were back to normal.
We are meeting friends this evening for Pub Night. Our local arts center sets up a pub the first Thursday of every month. We bought season tickets (very affordable, i think $55 for 6 shows) this year with our friends so we will have a standing date to see each other once a month. I also like having something planned that gets me out of the house on a weeknight. I'm usually so tired by Thursday, but music soothes and rejuvenates the soul. Well worth staying out until 9pm on a school night. :)
I get the desire to detail! I am not a stellar housekeeper, but every so often I get a notion to deep clean something. Last spring found me with toothpicks, carefully pulling out gunk from the little cervices around light switches, the actusl switch part, not the cover. However, at this moment there is toothpaste splatter on the bathroom mirror. I should go take care of it right now. (Ps, I would just like to say, I am able to brush my teeth without spraying toothpaste splatter everywhere, but someone else who lives here is not, just so you know the endless job of keeping the mirror clean is not my doing!)

I emailed Emerge (where I get my compound) to ask if Zepbound coming off the shortage list means not being able to get it from them. Here is their answer:
"We understand this is a frustrating time, especially with the uncertainty surrounding compounded tirzepatide. Our commitment to you remains unwavering. We're working diligently behind the scenes to continue offering tirzepatide. Please remember, GLP-1 medications have faced shortages before, only to become available again in short periods. We'll have more information in the coming days and weeks, and we promise to keep you updated every step of the way. Thank you for your patience--we will always act in your best interest."

A thrifty Thursday will be had if, and only if I can stay off the internet every time I stumble across some po-dinkled thing needed for this or that project to be completed properly.
Liz, you are very close to saying goodbye to your lovely friend of a house. I'm thinking it's pretty cool that while the house will reincarnate with new owners, your history and presents remain..good juju all around.
It's too bad about the nice wood ... I remember my mom picking up " old, used furniture" in resale shops in the 60s-70s for pennies on the dollar and then replacing them with cheap, laminate veneer just because they were "new". That old stuff morphed into valuable antique pieces later.....go figure. Tastes change- real wood is irreplaceable and your pineapple bedsteads will live on some day.
Toothbrush and razor blade scraper in hand, I'm off to detail neglected kitchen and bathroom corners- not that I'm such a clean freak; just like to know that what I'm looking at in the future is my own neglected dirt.
Have a great day and good luck, Cicley, finding that nettle in Kirby's haystack of paw-fur.

Eli Lily officially took their GLP 1s off the shortage list now. I don't think our Tirzepatide will be available much longer. Wish I had started sooner and was closer to goal. My PCP is still trying to get me approved for Zepbound but we need to jump through hoops to possibly get it approved and for me that will only be until June when we lose DH's insurance.
Bible study went well this morning. Need to file my sales and use tax for my business, get ready for a small craft fair I will be doing next weekend and do other business bookkeeping! Should keep me busy for the next few days.
