Thanks, Peps. I knew it was a long line. Thanks for the answer. The line's successes must be so rewarding for you.

I'm glad that your DH feels better today. And I am sure your new church will work out and provide you with other opportunities to serve.

154.5. Back down a smidge. Today was shot day. I only had a 3 mg dose left in my bottle and my next bottle is from a different pharmacy with very different dosing (inject 20 units instead of 50). I decided to just do the 3 mg (30 units) of the old one so I can tell how the different compounding pharmacies compare. One thing I don't like about the new pharmacy is that the best used by date is 11/23/24. I won't even get a full month in before that date is here and I think this new pharmacy sends a six week supply. My old pharmacy compound was good for at least 6 months.

Bible study today was good. As predicted I won't be able to continue with the Stephen's Ministry with the church we are leaving. I'm sure God something else planned for me at the new church!

DSD and fiancé rolled in at 1:00 am so it was a short night. Grocery shopping for the next few days done! Time to get dinner prepared. Need to eat at 4:30 so DH can get to his 12 hour night shift. No more vertigo symptoms thankfully!

Up very early this morning as my smoke alarm batteries were dying at 5:30AM. Just what you want is to be bleary eyed on a ladder in the dark! I read that it always happens in the middle of the night or very early morning because as the temp drops, the battery charge levels drop. So a battery on the edge will inevitably fail around the coldest part of the night. Oddly, this was the same one that died/malfunctioned in early summer where I ended up getting dozens of calls from the alarm company about a fire. I hate alarms with a passion, but it's a stipulation of my homeowner's insurance.

Since I was up, I got out early and got some new perennials in the ground. I hope they live! One was very puny. These I ordered online. First time I've tried that for garden plants...

I also worked on emails for the HOA board. Blech.

I am seeing my friends later, but nothing else of urgency today.

Take care, friends!

Weight 119.4. Today is shot day. The 2.5 mg of tirzepatide once a week seems to be just right in keeping my hunger/weight in line. I do notice that my joints are a bit more sore though. I still have enough backup of it for about 2 more months and am hoping I can get at least one more month filled with the compound. That will delay me having to get it started with Lilly Direct.

Today is DS' last full day here as we drive him to the airport at 5:15 am tomorrow. We will probably take him to lunch at the Beach Club one more time, then tonight we are going to a nice restaurant in town. We need to start cooking again as we have been here for almost 2 weeks and haven't cooked yet.

We have an appointment to look at cars this afternoon. Our one car here is a low 2-door coupe. Difficult to get in and out of, impossible for some people our age or older to sit in the back seat of, and unable to carry anything of size in. Plus it is 8 years old. We are probably getting a small SUV. I love having a new car but hate going through the buying process.

It is still dark here at 6:45 am. I feel like I should be glad to have more light in the morning when the time changes but I really hate the disruption of routine when it does.

Have a thriving Thursday!
