133.8. I've lost 5 lbs since last Friday. I don't think I've ever been so sick before! Ate one cheese stick today and going to try for another. A friend is bringing over some chicken noodle soup for us. Thank goodness!

Two extra strength Tylenol every 6 hours is allowing me to get some rest. Body aches lessoning but sore throat is worse. Feels like I am eating shards of glass every time I swallow. Not fun at all!

Ha! The God's honest truth! He got a late afternoon walk yesterday after we got back from the hospital and was an absolute terror for half of it, jumping on us, biting at gloves, playing tug of war with his leash. Teenagerhood plus too much time alone this week...

CC, I just saw this reel on FB, and it made me think of Kirby.

126.2 lbs.

Yesterday I goofed around in the morning, so didn't eat breakfast. Then I was running around town all afternoon, so missed lunch--except for two bites of giveaways at Costco (something with meat and cheese and dough, then chocolate bark). By dinner I was hungry, then felt a bit nauseated afterward. Tummy is a little weird still this morning, and I'm sticking close to the bathroom. Could be a little bug or just being tired of Kroger deli chicken salad.

Today will include more searching for cabinet thingamabobs.

More stuff for the house keeps arriving, and the garage is stuffed with boxes of things that haven't yet been installed. I think I need a mini-vacation from The House. Stepdaughter wants me to consider playing tennis or pickleball! I don't think that'll work out, but stranger things have happened.

One thing I am loving is my nearly daily yoga time. I'm focusing mostly on stretching right now and loving it. I will always always appreciate my great yoga teacher I had in Missouri. She was awesome!

Flu's running rampant here in Kentucky. I should probably be wearing a mask, given all the folks I've heard of who're down for the count.

Thanks to you and CC for the link to myknobs.com. I'm on there now, starting the review.

And that's exactly what i learned yesterday--that it's impossible to showcase all the knobs and pulls out there. I'm now looking at gazillions online.

Just lost my entire post and don't know why (it just disappeared)!

117.6 - still low but my tummy was off yesterday so I didn't eat a lot.

Busy day yesterday, but today is only golf with the ladies in the morning. I am already being pressured by them to add an additional day of golf but am resisting. I feel like I have enough activities these days (4 days) and would rather spend time with my husband. I think it is different for me because we have been married such a short time compared to the rest.

Tonight may be chicken wings for DH at his favorite spot but I struggle to find something I like there (I don't like chicken wings). Everything else is too junky or too large. I often up with a portobello wrap which tastes good but doesn't have much protein. I may have to make up for that earlier in the day.

Have a thematic Thursday!

Justice is not good about nails either though he is quite docile about everything else.

i had to look up BlueSky - I never heard of it. I used to work in technology but one sure loses their edge quickly.

Curious: Are you on the highest dose of tirzepatide so that's why you feel dieting is needed?

The mind is indeed strange - enjoy when your Dad has his good days. It seemed to me that the good days were often followed by the opposite perhaps because the energy required to summon memories and spirit from former times was exhausting.
