Cleaning is not fun but the results are quite satisfying.

217.4 - a new Tirzepatide low! Whoo hoo! I just might be below 200 by the end of February. That's a push, but it is possible with some focus and determination, right? I've got 14 weeks to work on it.

Taking the lead from DD and Liz, I decided that my day off could be dedicated to some deep cleaning! And deep cleaning I did. I vacuumed, mopped, moved furniture, dusted and then got a bug up my butt and decided to wash kitchen cabinets from the ceiling down. So crown molding has been washed, cabinets degreased and cleaned. Then it was time to tackle dog dirtied baseboards and rub marks on the wall! I probably was in heavy duty cleaning mode for about 6 or 7 hours. My hands are feeling it today. But boy, it feels great to have those things done. Ron has a pot luck at church tonight so I'm planning on doing some more cleaning! LOL....

6 months, 11 days until retirement.

Munificent and Merry Monday, peeps!

When I was in college my parents bought a new house about 5 minutes from the house in which I was raised. From the deck of that house we could see the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bride, the Richmond Bridge and the San Mateo bridge! Thus, what realtors referred to in our area as a Four Bridge view! My dream had the same 4 bridges!

"A four-bridge view" ... never heard this term, but I know exactly what it looks like. I so miss San Francisco, the Sierras, Yosemite, wine country (all of them), Big Sur, Carmel, the redwoods, Mendocino .... I have GOT to get back out there and spend a couple of weeks on and along PCH. Sigh!

Yes, she more than kept up. But she's the one who at 1:30 in the morning said it was time for us to go home. Not quite sure who the "adult" in that adventure was.

118.8 - Peps and I are now out of synch since his weight keeps dropping (no surprise). We ate late on the way home from the game and I had a fair amount of popcorn during the game so I'm happy that my weight is down not up. I took the second half-dose of tirzepatide last night.

The game was fun and not too hot as it stayed cloudy all day. Fun to watch football without being frozen but to be in the midst of all the fans.

Today is water aerobics and a plumbing visit to get a new kitchen faucet. This month we are taking care of things that have needed to be done either since we bought the place or came up in the interim. The electrician is coming tomorrow to move the dining room chandelier over (so we can move the dining table). He is followed immediately by a guy to repair the ceiling damage that will be incurred. Nothing is simple. But this will make the big room easier to arrange because the dining area has just taken up too much room due to the chandelier placement.

Likely leftovers tonight as we are booked for dinner every night after this through Thanksgiving. Busy times coming.

Have a munificent Monday!

Hay frappe! LOL, they probably sell them.

I couldn't live in a climate without a lot of sunny days. It completely affects my mood - I'd have to have one of those lamps that are supposed to help, though I doubt it would since I couldn't walk around outside with it.

Sometimes it seems like being super busy during the day exhausts the body but the mind continues being on alert for some reason.
