Have you ever watched Derry Girls on Netflix? So funny, but also poignant. Its about Catholic girls growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles in the 90s.
Greetings all
Another bright sunny day. Got the second eye done this morning. Seemed faster than the first one. They sure run people through that place. Talk about all the people with grey hair! - including the nurses and the surgeon who actually has almost no hair. All good. There is a nurse there whose name is "Pony". Dope growing parents no doubt.
So today's challenge is figuring out what to do all day. Gotta stay home. Up at the crack of dawn which is a rare experience for me. Now what? Most likely will stay in bed and watch true crime tv shows.
Enjoy the beach club party Liz. Yeah a sari is too much work. How about a Nehru jacket from the 60's?
Good score Paula on the chair. My mother actually rented one during the last year of her life from another old lady who did not want to let go of it.
So I am experimenting with DH old reading glasses which work but are not what I need. Vison limbo for a few weeks.
Not much else here. Made myself some eggs. Kind of wishing I could go out somewhere but nothing needed.
So time for Forensic Files. Or maybe Dateline...

You have so many fun activities at your place Liz! Hoping for that if we get to FL!
126.3 today. I'm skipping my shot today and plan to take it on Sunday (10 days between shots). I'm not getting my increased calories in and don't want to load up with junk food just to do so, so I will lengthen my injection cycle and see what that does for my appetite and weight. I'm actually hungry these days but get full relatively quickly. I went to dinner last night really hungry but could only eat 1/2 of a BLT on flatbread. I am really enjoying those Built Puff bars Bonnie talked about on TT. I find them not too sweet, no yucky aftertaste and they are small enough that I don't get overly full from them. I eat 1-2 a day. Nice easy breakfast with a protein coffee or good after dinner or daytime snack if I am running low on calories and/or protein.
Small group at woman's Bible study today but we had good conversation! This Sunday will be the last day for my character development class.
I found a lift chair on Facebook Marketplace for $50 that I'm going to check out tonight to use after my plastic surgery in September. I bought one for my first round but then let my Dad use it and he pretty much trashed it!
Making Liz's WW chicken artichoke casserole for dinner with smashed little red potatoes. It looks so good!

121.2 - shot day (finally back to my previous schedule after the BVI trip)
We went to bed a little early and I slept an hour late so you would think I was super well rested but I seem to wake up off and on all night these days - my pattern is typically 4 hours of sleep, then awake, then off and on every 2 hours for the rest of the night.
We had a good visit with our Cape Cod friends. They are renting a gorgeous apartment in a high-rise overlooking both the ocean and the intracoastal. Amazing views. But the wife is recovering from back surgery. She fell when they were on their trip down in late January and it took a while to determine that she had broken her back in 3 places! She just had a surgery where they insert a ballon and bone cement to restabilize the vertebra (kyphoplasty). My SIL may have that for a new break in her spine too. We have to be so careful at our age not to fall.
Tonight we have the Spring Fling at the Beach Club - the best event of the year. Great food, open bar, beautiful table settings, good music. We are taking a shuttle from the club so we don't have to drive (the beach club is 15 minutes away). We are at a table with 4 other couples we know. Before we leave, we are stopping at a new friend's home for champagne and caviar. Feels very hoity-toity as DH would say. The theme for the dinner is Bollywood. I considered a sari but too much work and too hot. So I got a long scarf called a dupatta and some jewelry I got on Amazon to wear with a dress I have.
Before that it is Justice walk time and maybe Beach Club for some sun and lunch in mid-day.
Have a thrilling Thursday!

DH calls them Q-Tips (and does realize he is one too)!

True about men losing faster when they get serious about it. Other than after VSG, at best I would lose a chunk the first week, the 1-2 pounds a week. When I did go to WW all us women were jealous of how fast the men would lose.

Try adding a healthy snack - that's how I pulled my food intake up enough to stop losing.

Too funny! At least I'm not totally gray! LOL! But... I will be soon!
My Mom just said last week that she didn?t consider herself or feel old (she is almost 89). I laughed and then asked her what age old was and she said 90!

DH is always referring to the "grey hairs" being out and about and he is totally grey himself!
