They said they would, but I have not heard anything since that initial announcement.
Is Orderly offering a 6 month order before shutting down injectable tirzepatide in February/March?

212.9 Leave it to a dog show weekend with careful eating and not enough liquid to show a drop on the scale! Whoo hooo.... Just hope that the increase in water consumption today doesn't negate the drop on the scale.
I need to contact OrderlyMeds and see if I can go ahead and order my 6 month supply to tirzepatide now, or if I have to wait a few more weeks.
Good session with eating disorder nutritional counselor on Friday. Always something to work on.
Beginning of the year money has all been transferred, so it's time to get the new dishwasher and water heater ordered and installed.
Dog show was really good for Buster this weekend. Came away with some very significant wins! For Diane S., he won the regular group on Saturday and a regular G3 on Sunday. He won the Owner handled group both days and a best in Show owner handled on Saturday.
Lots on the docket this week. I'm thinking I need to make a list! LOL! (As we all know, that is not my forte!)
Weird dream about my mom last night. It made me uneasy. I must be working through something because in my dream I was talking about my negative feelings towards her - sort of a love/hate feeling. I don't know why but that made me feel very uncomfortable when I woke up.
Not much else going on. Just same old.... work, visit dad, work out, tend to dogs, make dinner, etc... for the rest of the day.
Oh, and I did NOT feel our earthquake yesterday because I was at the dog show. BOOOOOOO! I do love the little ones. They are actually kind of fun. If they are too big, not so much! It was a 3.7 centered about a mile from my home.
That's for multiple pieces! And always worth it at TB IMHO.

Well, we did drop over $500 at TB, but that included a 2 piece outfit and dress for me and a long sleeved sun protection T for DH!

I was into making cottage cheese for a while a few years ago but then I got lazy.

I am amazed it all hasn't melted yet in Kentucky. Agree with small steps - having been a project planner in my past that was always the key for any type of project.

Congrats on your online wins, although I have no idea what any of those things are. However, I hope you'll show us some of your creations.
Here in Kentucky we're still snowed and iced in, but the streets are cleaned up. DH and I figure the whole mess will be gone by Thursday.
I am in the making New Year's resolutions phase of 2025, which always makes me feel good. This morning I read the BEST thing on Facebook about what someone's second grade teacher told them that has made a great difference in their life: "If something feels too hard to do, it just means that the first step isn't small enough." Isn't that brilliant?
Here's to small enough first steps! :-)

DD, it sounds like you get a hard copy of the Sunday Times. I'd love to do that, but for years (decades, actually) I have stuck with the digital version because getting a hard copy in Taos or the Ozarks was not an option.
When I was in my twenties and living in Austin, I belonged to the 300 or so folks in town who had the Sunday Times flown in. We took turns picking up the papers and delivering them to everyone who had a subscription. President Johnson was back in Texas by then and lived about 40 miles out of town, and he was one of the subscribers. FTR, I never met him, and he never delivered my paper. ;)

Liz, what a perfect space to dwell in amongst gchildren old enough to take care of themselves; you just get to play with and enjoy!
Up and getting around early. Have taken some more x-mas down and made a batch of cottage cheese- experimenting to see how dry curds keep in the freezer. Will pull the frozen out in a few days, "cream" it and compare with fresh for texture and taste. Am hoping for positive results as a whole batch makes more than I can use before tossing. Like yogurt, it is so much tastier and costs only the price of the milk used.
We're off on a short trip this afternoon to pick up some items won online, mostly art paper, tools and paints. Scored big time, including 3 Arches water color blocks (9x12, 11x14 and 18x24) $47, Koh-I-noor set of pens $9, Paasche airbrush kit $11... etc as well as some mystery boxes .... For this half off half kind of shopper--I'm in 7th heaven!!!
