Greetings all
It's warm again today but only 70. Nothing like the crushing heat inland where it's 117 in Redding. 150 miles away. I am grateful to be able to avoid it. My brother is staying away from his Palm Springs place. He has another home in LA and who would have thought thats the place to keep cool.
I spent some time in the studio. Was hoping to glaze but stuff is not out of the bisque yet. New stuff from the glaze kilns tomorrow so I can put some things in my woefully empty gallery area. Stopped at an art supply place only to find it closed. Not surprising as it's a mom and pop place. Got a message on my phone that Poppy had left the house. I could see the route DH was taking with their walk. The device is called FI and its not cheap and probably has a subscription but it seems to work and of course DH loves it.
Liz glad you have a stay at home Sunday. Everyone needs that. Gotta check out the beach bars.
CC why can't that alarm give you a break?? Only happens if you are out of town of course. Hope it gets fixed.
I am still being a Do-Bee and doing my daily short walks. Today I felt better than I had in a long time. Not much seems to hurt. Go figure. Must determine how to preserve this.
Still enjoying the Brokenwood Murders. Good show.
No clue again on dinner. Freezer scraping. Diane S

Liz your birthday/anniversary trip sounds divine!!! What a way to start a new decade of happiness and adventure.
CC sorry about yet another rough start to the day. I hope it can get straightened out today so there are no alarms tomorrow.
Paula, is it done with the biblical rains in Wisconsin? It rained here again last night, but is lovely right now.
I had a great time in San Diego, but I am also loving it here at home today. We enjoyed our get together last night with our friends and their family. This morning I got up at a reasonable hour and drank tea, read the paper and puttered around in my flower beds. The bedding plants are filling in nicely and are lush from all the rain. If it gets hot, I'm expecting an explosion of growth from the impatients.
DH is off on a bike ride, and I'm going to do some more weeding and puttering. This evening we have tickets for The Little Shop of Horrors. This is our first time to see this musical. Tomorrow night we're meeting friends for dinner, and then we have a few days with no specific plans until Friday. I love both: a mix of plans and downtime. I'm hungry for a good book, so a day reading is one of my down day plans.
Water weight from my vacation is gone. Although I'm not losing weight when I still have plenty to lose, Wegovy is sure making maintenance doable. Grateful.
4th injection in! Looks like I can get another injection out of my current vial, so I think I will do 5 weeks at the 2.5 mg and depending on how I feel, go up to 5 after that. I was actually hungry for lunch today. Taking that darn protein powder out of the mix is making me feel better.
Went to church this morning with DH. We still have a little tree downing clean up to do. DC is currently hanging out and DS #3 is still at home hanging out in his bedroom. Costco rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy on the docket for dinner. I should include something green but think I probably won't!
Glad your date night went well Liz. Scallops are a fav of mine too! Hope DS feels well enough to help finish cleaning up the house for showing.
CC, not the alarms again! For Pete's sake! Sometimes the F word does make bad situations feel a bit better for a few seconds! I need my bacon crispy for sure. Hope you enjoy your BBQ and soak in some sun!

I know. I feel a little faint too, even though it's just a fantasy.

I have a single annual visit with my PCP. For the record, he's never asked me to repeat words he uttered earlier during the appointment.
The last few years I've asked him a lot of questions about what I can expect during my upcoming 80s.

The number of times the f-word has come out of my mouth today and yesterday would have you clutching your collective pearls. My AZ fire alarm went off again this morning so it's not the batteries... of course it's not that easy! I've texted the A/v people who put it in and am waiting to text the house watcher since at this point it's 6am on a Sunday and there is nothing she can do right now. I'm so annoyed!!
This morning was Sunday breakfast where my dad makes pancakes and bacon. I had bacon and eggs. But the bacon was not as cooked as I like it so that turned me off and the egg texture got to me so I stopped that too. Funny how I have felt little effect from the upped shot this week (Wednesday shot day****il today. We had pizza last night and I didn't struggle at all. Weight is still slightly elevated at 193.
Today aside from sorting the alarm situation, I might put baked beans on the smoker. We are going to a ****tail party tonight. And it's a beautiful sunny day finally so some sitting outside would be nice. And my house is messy, so that would be a good thing to tackle.
Anyway, hope you all have a nice day!
OH is whizzing along this morning - maybe they finally fixed the servers???

I think it is Sunday. Not sure again because there is no breakfast out and no DH stating that the bus leaves at 7:30. DH and the bus went golfing.
DS was sick all day yesterday but no COVID. DH and I packed more of DS's things and brought a load of packed stuff to the storage unit. All that remains to be taken care of before my realtor/friend comes tomorrow to advise on anything remaining is a few items DS says he is going to sell and a room full of clothing and work clutter. Very difficult for me to take care of that so he better feel well enough to do it today.
Date night was good. We did go to the restaurant on the marina. It was foggy and a bit windy but warm so we were comfortable on an outdoor patio with plastic shields on the sides. My scallops were quite good.
We have finalized plans for our next trip in March during the week of my 70th birthday/our 3rd anniversary. We are chartering a small boat in the Caribbean with some Florida friends which comes with a captain and chef. The guys are planning the itinerary including visits to some of these: Beach Bars Our last trip was the cruise in November so we will have skipped an entire year of traveling. Next year may make up for it since we will probably visit DH's son and wife in Poland next fall. This year was busy enough with shoulder surgery, moving, and a wedding.
Time to take Justice out and think about what to attack around here. DS just got up and feels much better thank goodness.
Have a sublunary Sunday!
