That's cool that the hotel gives you a break!

150.8, phooey! My body must really like the low 150?s! I don?t remember having this long of a stall with VSG. Since my GLP 1 provider does not allow us to order more than 1 month at a time, I decided I?m going to order the next dose up (7.5) but continue to take 5, or maybe even less. If it is still available the following month, I will order 10 mg to do my own little bit of hoarding (as long as expiration dates are good).

No napping with dogs yesterday, perhaps today. More musty laundry to do. I forgot that I had put the smaller pjs in the dresser and they were musty too! I think it is all done now!

Productive day yesterday with balancing checkbooks, recording business income/expenses, and starting to clean up basement (changing the scrapbook area to photo working area). I had taken over the basement bar/dining area with my photography business supplies and it would be great to reclaim the area for its intended purpose even though we never entertain downstairs!

Starting to plan out the menus for the next 2 weeks as the house becomes more full. I know I?ve said it before, but meal planning is so much harder on a GLP 1.

VRBO's are expensive here but the hotel rooms across the street have a special price for our community so it actually works best.

Probably too late now, but renting a VRBO or the like might actually be cheaper than hotel rooms. That is what we are doing for DSD's wedding. We got a whole house, can bring the dogs, will have DSD's cat and all the boys and maybe a cousin will stay with us!

119.4 - it's cold! 61 degrees outside with low humidity. That feels very cool to us Floridians!

We went to Happy Hour last night and stayed a bit longer than planned. I had a long talk with a friend whose husband is an alcoholic. He is a jovial one at least in public, always the life of the party. But everyone knows he has a problem with alcohol. Last year he was suspended from the club for several months for being handsy with the staff and some female members as well as flipping over a golf cart. I feel so sorry for his wife who seems resigned to her fate. Since I grew up with an alcoholic parent I feel like I wouldn't put up with it. But who knows? They have been married for 39 years, have several adult children, and a lot of family in the area. I hope they are supportive of her.

DH was miffed at his daughter yesterday. The family is coming for all of Thanksgiving week. She doesn't want her Mom (DH's ex) in the hotel room DH had reserved but doesn't think any of the kids should be on a blow-up mattress. Since when do kids rate their own rooms/beds when traveling? What she really wants is a 6 bedroom house but that isn't happening.

Today is a work day - the only day available to get the house thoroughly cleaned prior to 10 days of company. We must run out in the middle of the day to get our Flu and COVID vaccines. I guess we will go in our work clothes. No plans for this evening which will be a good thing as we are busy every day after today.

Have a safe and satisfying Saturday!
