199.8 - The glorious result of a few decent days along with waking up at 4 am with raging gut cramps culminating in a blow out at around 5:30. After the main event there were smaller eruptions lasting into the early afternoon. But, I LOVED seeing the number on the scale, so what the hell. The plus side of diarrhea is not lost on someone with my weight and diet history!

That said, I've eaten 2 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios today - no milk. I'm feeling like I can dare to eat something more nutritious for dinner. Once I had the initial blow out, the painful cramping stopped and the discomfort went away, so I haven't felt ill at all. I have been without a bathroom visit for well over 4 hours now, so I think I'm on the mend. I don't know what I could have gotten. Only thing I can think of is that Orderly Meds is using yet a new pharmacy and that pharmacy added B12 to my tirzepatide. I'm going to request no B12 or other additives. I don't need or want anything but the tirzepatide.

Diamond D, your place in Puerto Alegro sounds wonderful. Pics? Perhaps I will check your FB again. I did see the photos of the welcome committee! I love your DH's comment about condo pricing! Brazil must be a welcome and refreshing change after all the chaos in your area of MN.

Liz, I like all the offerings on your cruise. Seems like different cruise lines offer different types of vacation fare. Sounds like you and your DH are having a really nice time.

CC, glad you are getting out today! And I'm also glad to join you in "onederland". LOL!

Paula, I do hope you get the root canal tomorrow. Nothing worse than tooth/nerve pain. I find tooth pain absolutely intolerable. Nothing worse than a dying tooth!

Diane, that pic of Poppy is hysterical. Glad the fog didn't interfere too much with your Scrabble playing.... LOL... AI certainly has its limitations. But for some things, it's beyond incredible. I watched a real life crime thing hosted by Harlan Coben in which the police used some type of Cyber Geo tracking AI to pinpoint cellphone location within a 12 foot radius on a specific date and time window to solve a missing person/murder in Paso Robles, CA.

Not much else from here.

Yay! Your trip is starting out fabulously! After what is going on in your city stateside , residency in Brazil sounds inviting!

What a great face!

Poppy is surprised!

Greetings all

Fog today. today started early for me as we had a zoom studio board meeting which I attended in a sweatshirt over pajamas. All is well and I got the things I wanted. Onward.

So for a few days now I am getting these AI generated summaries of email conversations. They just show up in my gmail. I don't want these and am trying to figure out how to stop them as it is a waste of space. Yesterday there was an interesting one. One of you liked my post here from yesterday whi*****luded a statement to the effect that it was foggy yesterday while I drove to Scrabble and that I triumphed by winning three games. The AI summary of this was as follows "Diane S. reported winning three Scrabble games despite heavy fog..". WTF, why does some robot think I play scrabble outside in the fog? Hence my continued distrust of AI. No thanks.

So CC glad there are a few balloons. Also rain. Enjoy lunch out.

Liz the VBIs sound wonderful. Beach is what it is all about and it all sounds good.

DD glad to hear you arrived safely and are having fun. What a great idea to go to a flea market in a foreign country. How interesting to see what stuff they have. Sure why not do the winery? What does economy comfort class have to offer? One half inch more room or what? Good that flights were on time.

Looks like a lot of our nation is having a horrid winter storm with boat loads of snow. Grateful to be away from that. You too Paula and DD. Sympathies to Bonnie. stay warm please.

Not much else. The last of the pot roast tonight. And thanks CC for the note on season two of the Night Manager. We loved season one. Also watched episode 2 of this season of Hijack. Multilayerd plot which I have not figured out yet.

Well time to get moving and get to the gym. Amazing what you can get done when you get up early.
