Lazy morning, also enjoying being tucked under the covers. I made an actual dinner last night, so I'm kind of excited about having some for brunch. (A chicken, vegetable, cheese hot dish).
We've started watching 2 series: Agatha All Along, from Marvel on Disney + and Disclosure on Apple + .Agatha is a sequel to WandaVision, which I loved, despite not being a Marvel fanatic. Agatha is entertaining, but isn't grabbing me quite the same way. Disclosure is searing, and left me in pieces. Super compelling, great cast, but be prepared. We've only watched 2 episodes, and last night I thought maybe it's too much well portrayed deception, revenge, betrayal and I can'****ch it. But now I have to see how they all get to the other side of this tragedy.
Tomorrow is Professional Development and worktime, so no students. For the first time ever, we have election day off, no school at all. Then back to students on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by using one of my sick days to take care of my Mom on Friday.
Scale down a little bit more, but past experience tells me this is where it will stop. Then over the week, a little creep upward every day, followed by a release of water weight over the weekend. I may be relying on more processed food during the workweek, maybe stress also causing some water retention or inflammation. But unless we go on a longer trip, I'm almost always within the same 2 pound range.

I'm stuck in analysis paralysis now! I didn't keep a lot in there - mostly Costco meats, stuff that was vacuum sealed so it didn't get freezer burned, ice packs, baged up chicken wrappers I didn't want sitting in the trash can stinking all week, etc. But I really like having overflow freezer storage so that neither freezer had to be packed tightly keeping me from knowing what was in either. The companion fridge in there is 100% drinks, which is really nice to have.
So the persnickety side of me is bummed they won't match anymore, another side is irked the upper cabinet is too low (67"), keeping me from replacing both with one normal sized fridge, which would still look off as the cabinet opening is 67" wide... It seems I so often have to play this game of "what appliance will fit in the hole?" because there are no standards in the industry...
Sounds like a side-effect. I never took hormone replacement. When I went through menopause 20 years ago it was a no-no for women with any risk of heart disease (my father died of a heart attack at 48). Boy did I have the most horrendous hot flashes.

I was just thinking yesterday that it was about time to put the flannel sheets on!

I don't think it is the calorie restriction. Maybe a combination of Tirzepatide and menopause (but I am taking hormone replacement)

The birthday party last night was really fun and quite elaborate (at the clubhouse). There were probably about 100 people there. We expected just a ****tail hour but there was that plus a full dinner (sliders, salads and sushi). The husband made a short but very touching toast to his wife who was turning 60. Their 2 daughters and a son-in-law were here for the party too. She was completely surprised. Nice night.
And we stayed up past 11, so we were able to sleep until 6:15 this morning. Maybe the time shift won't be so bad...
Today we may go to the beach club, then probably do leftovers. DH is golfing with a friend who is just starting to play at 4:30. Easier to get out on the course if you don't feel you are holding anyone up.
The bus leaves as usual on Sunday at 7:30 so I better get changed. Have a successful Sunday!

I like to snuggle under warm blankets too so I use the AC to drop the temperature quite a bit at night here.

Do you think it may be just the calorie restriction affecting libido vs the medication? I haven't noticed any difference. I just googled it and it sounds like there is no definitive research about that yet. Maybe it differs from person to person just as side-effects do?

A girl! So exciting, but agree that it is weird these days for a doctor to get it wrong at first.

So you are going to wait for the backordered one at this point? I used to have two full refrigerators and had both freezers full. I felt like I never really knew what was in there and periodically had to throw out stuff that was frozen for too long so eventually gravitated to just having one. Though I do prefer a sizeable one in a side-by-side refrigerator. The drawers in the French door refrigerators (we have one here) do not seem to allow for efficient freezer use.
