I will look forward to reports about how your vision is after the healing. And we need a hand update, how is that going?

Your resisting being grounded reminds me of a conversation with my Dad. He was staying somewhere that did not allow drinking or smoking, even in your own yard. He chaffed at this. I said, But Dad, you don't smoke and you don't drink. His response Wel! I don't like anyone telling me I can't.

We are having an early spring day here. We often get those in February, but after the chilly weather we've had this month the sunny warmth feels almost strange. The nape of my neck and shoulders were actually hot standing in the sun during my yard duty!!

212.0 this morning. My instinct is to eat very little today so I can finally weigh in for the week at under 212. Such eating disorder thinking!

Dad really liked his hair cut. He came out of the bathroom after having a look and chirped, "Well, that's a handsome cut!" How cute is that? He does look more together with his hair freshly trimmed. I noticed that he does a really good job at masking his dementia. I'm sure having a huge and highly intellectual vocabulary all his life is serving him well now. He still "sounds" quite intelligent even when I know he's lost or grasping. But I digress... What makes me happy is doing something that makes him happy. I never know these days how he'll react. The only given is that he is always grateful for company and a visit.

Great workout after dad's haircut. I did an entire hour on chest and shoulders. I am already a little bit sore, which you all know I love. I have to step up the push ups. I'm pooping out after 25. I used to be able to push myself to do 40 in a row. Gotta get back there. Yes, I know, most men my age can't even do 5, but... you know me.... I may not be able to be tall and thin, but dammit, I'm gonna be strong!

I made an inquiry last night about a bucket list breed. Looks like we might be adding a cutie patootie Lakeland Terrier puppy to the pack this summer. Fingers crossed. I know, I know... he needs another dog like he needs another hole in his head....

Shot day today. I'm a little leery of a full dose of this new stuff after the blow out last Saturday night. But at the same time, I have found the change in med seems to have decreased some of my hunger drive. But again, it could also be that I am hell bent and determined to get below 200 by summertime. 12 pounds seems so doable, yet it is taking sooooooo long. I think I have finally admitted that I am pretty darn comfortable at my current weight, so I have not felt a frantic need to reduce. Like DD, I know it's my decision and choice at this point what I want to do. I made the choice to get to 199.9. At that point, I'll have to once again decide if going lower is what I really want to do - e.g. is the weight goal worth what it takes to get there?????

I counter your thermal layered Thursdays east of me with a thawed out Thursday here!

Glad to hear the inflammation is better. Too bad you couldn't sleep but I guess that is a pretty common side-effect.

Wowee, that prednisone had me flying. I could not sleep last night (yesterday was the first 6 pills) but it has definitely taken the inflammation from my chest.

Very overcast here. We were hoping that even if it was cool, the sun would be warm enough to sit by the pool for a bit. We don't need to leave for the airport until around 5pm.

It wasn't the same trip it has been before, but we did get some sun, I swam a bit, and we enjoyed hours on the lanai. Better to be sick here where I could go outside.

Following your directive Liz, and wearing multiple layers so I can have a thermal Thursday.

Ooh, that era of Mercedes convertibles are gorgeous classics!! This is a 2024 Mercedes CLE. It comes tomorrow!
