Up very early this morning as my smoke alarm batteries were dying at 5:30AM. Just what you want is to be bleary eyed on a ladder in the dark! I read that it always happens in the middle of the night or very early morning because as the temp drops, the battery charge levels drop. So a battery on the edge will inevitably fail around the coldest part of the night. Oddly, this was the same one that died/malfunctioned in early summer where I ended up getting dozens of calls from the alarm company about a fire. I hate alarms with a passion, but it's a stipulation of my homeowner's insurance.
Since I was up, I got out early and got some new perennials in the ground. I hope they live! One was very puny. These I ordered online. First time I've tried that for garden plants...
I also worked on emails for the HOA board. Blech.
I am seeing my friends later, but nothing else of urgency today.
Take care, friends!

Weight 119.4. Today is shot day. The 2.5 mg of tirzepatide once a week seems to be just right in keeping my hunger/weight in line. I do notice that my joints are a bit more sore though. I still have enough backup of it for about 2 more months and am hoping I can get at least one more month filled with the compound. That will delay me having to get it started with Lilly Direct.
Today is DS' last full day here as we drive him to the airport at 5:15 am tomorrow. We will probably take him to lunch at the Beach Club one more time, then tonight we are going to a nice restaurant in town. We need to start cooking again as we have been here for almost 2 weeks and haven't cooked yet.
We have an appointment to look at cars this afternoon. Our one car here is a low 2-door coupe. Difficult to get in and out of, impossible for some people our age or older to sit in the back seat of, and unable to carry anything of size in. Plus it is 8 years old. We are probably getting a small SUV. I love having a new car but hate going through the buying process.
It is still dark here at 6:45 am. I feel like I should be glad to have more light in the morning when the time changes but I really hate the disruption of routine when it does.
Have a thriving Thursday!

Wow! I don't remember if I ever could do that, but I do have a friend who is in her mid-80's who can.

I should have said my men! Not all...

That was a VSG Goal for me. I have never let it slip - even when I gained back all my weight. I can lie flat on my back and get to a full standing up position without using my hands or rolling over.
Hmm... I suppose it depends how one chose to look at the breeding progression.
Here's one line: Jackson -> Ella -> Dottie -> Blitz -> Molly -> upcoming puppy
This line is my predominant line of dogs, but I also had another line that went from Jackson to a puppy named Blue who travels all the way down to Molly and Buster by way of Blue's son Ace.... It gets a little tricky to follow at times.
But let's just say I'm on the 6th generation.

Claudia set a goal of getting up off the floor without using her hands. When she finally could do it, she was so excited! I need both hands, knees, a lot of groaning, etc.

I have a picture of my dad mid-mohs and the entire side of his face is missing! Horrific. Impressive they were able to get him all put back together. It was a 9.5 hour procedure...
