Boob talk make me uncomfortable? Surely, you jest! I can talk about taboo subject better than most. Perhaps sadly, pretty much NOTHING is off limits in my book. I'll pretty much talk about it all. I have a friend who is a polyamorous dominatrix. Some of the conversations we've had could peel back wallpaper!

Weight was down a few tenths this morning. Not that I count, but I do like getting closer to the next lower ones digit on the scale. My "wearable" clothes are waning. I am finding that I am emotionally refusing to wear certain pieces because they feel too tent like. That so contrasts to a year ago when tent like clothing was preferred.

The wedding is in REAL time now. It's here. Have the best and most joyous time, Liz.

GLP-1 meds.... Yes, the cost is unreal, but wow! The benefit pretty much outweighs the cost for me. My hope is to continue for maintenance. Even if I have to use savings, I will do it. I don't think I will, but I'm going to allow myself that essential health luxury in retirement.

More dog breeder angst... Not seeming to catch many breaks lately. Bug's hips are fantastic, but her teeth are not coming in properly and not in a mild way. Looks like her canines are going to be on the INSIDE of her mouth instead of the cheeks side (lingual vs. distal). UGH!!! and BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Happy Hump Day!

You know I was thinking that this morning. I should have done this every few years (maybe every 3-5 years). It would have felt good plus not have been so onerous as doing it just when moving. But when I was working full time and had kids around I am not sure I would have found the time.

I don't know I'll ever be moving. I think we've decided we will keep this house and Minnesota as our home base for the foreseeable future. But we definitely need to get some of this purging energy going! It would seem that because of jt, your house is filled with things you deliberately chose, and are in line with your current tastes. That must be very pleasing.

Not to make Peps, uncomfortable, but on the subject of boobs, there is a mammogram category my imaging center labels "essentially all fat". Basically the opposite of dense breasts. I was so insulted by the phrasing it made me not want to go back! I did, but I wasn't happy about it and I mentally was flipping them the bird.

This morning I am having my dryer vents cleaned. I occasionally get a blocked flow/overheating message on my machines and the vent hoses have already been replaced so I know it's not that. I wouldn't be surprised if the vents (which go to the roof are clogged with wasps nests. This afternoon I have an HOA meeting.

Today is shot day. I bounced up a little from my low, but still managed 2 pounds for the week.

Exterior tile work is ongoing. Yesterday I unpacked 8 boxes of books I brought from CA (that have been sitting in the corner for nearly 2 years) into a bookcase/desk in my dad's room. I wanted to be sure that piece of furniture was staying before I did it. Looks nice. There were quite a few books where I thought, why did I bring this? So those need to go to Friends of the Library this week. It seems like "move weeding" is a two step process - the big purge before the move and the purge after when you wonder why that came with you.

Take care everyone!

Weight 120.6. 3 days until the wedding (and the last day not engulfed with wedding specific stuff).

Thank you for your kind words about my niece. Her surgery went well and they think it was only in one lymph node but obviously time will tell. We don't know what the next steps are yet but I would assume some further treatment is indicated. It did ignite memories about similar times with eldest DD, just as it made Peps feel again how sad he was to lose a friend to cancer.

But the wedding is a happy time coming up. I need to write my short and sweet toast. I had it in my head one day but can't seem to recreate it on paper (so I can recreate it verbally).

I have an online appointment with my HenryMeds NP in 1/2 hour which I expect will involve talking about maintenance. I made my own decisions about increasing then decreasing doses so they don't really know that I am consciously in maintenance mode. They just know my reported weight so probably just want to make sure I am not trying to lose more. I'm assuming they will support me staying on it indefinitely. Though I hate the cost, I love not only the lack of food noise but also the anti-inflammatory effects.

Not much else to report. Time this week is slipping by. Have a winsome Wednesday!
