118.8 - bi-weekly injection taken last night
We made it home yesterday after a nice brunch with our friends. One was a friend who went into cardiac arrest 4 years ago and barely survived. Then 2 years ago he had cancer in his salivary glands which looked like it was terminal. Through the wonders of immunotherapy they can no longer detect the cancer. He seems to have 9 lives. His wife looks terrible though. She is on oxygen 100% of the time, is all swollen with fluid, and can barely walk. She has advanced COPD and other issues which cannot be corrected. And they are only 3 years older than me!
Dinner at the beach club last night was very nice. It was still warm after an 80 degree day. But this morning it is 53. Water aerobics is iffy (she will cancel if under 55).
We will probably go south to Fort Pierce for lunch and to the cider brewery there. Always a fun activity. Dinner is up in the air right now.
Have a masterful Monday!

Javalinas are kind of interesting looking creatures. I have only seen them in Mexico and Arizona.

Back ordered???? What happened to NO SHORTAGE?!?!?!?!?!
I'm gonna be a little more than peeved if tirzepatide goes back on the shortage list after paying premium for my bulk order. 
Yes, we have seen a few whale babies. The restaurant is Merrimans. It has taken over Mama's as the most coveted dinner spot but Mama's is still wildly popular! We were right by Mama's when we at the north shore.

Not much to report. After several easy months getting my Zepbound at Costco, it seems to be on backorder. And I have a busy start to the week with stuff each afternoon, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to pick it up. Grr.
Sad to see the Lions lose yesterday! I would just be happy if anyone other than the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. I think it's boring when the same team wins year after year. And I'm totally Taylor Swifted out.
We walked the dog today and came across two separate coyotes and a big squadron of javalinas. It's like Wild Kingdom out here!
That's all from sunny Sedona. Take care all!

Notre Dame I think. It's been a while since they've had a year like this!
Oh yeah - Paula, definitely Mamas Fish House!
Your friend's memorial sounds perfect and lovely. How cool that Mamma Mia was played. A wonderful tribute to her.

Greetings all
Sun is out and it's nippy but nice. Not much going on. Finally got a small amount of junk moved out of the bedroom and making plans for more. Meanwhile I went to the gym and walked. One additional nice thing about this gym is that the handicapped parking spots are often used by people using walkers or other assistance. Guess thats another reason for the big elevator. Anyway it's good that people with limitations feel good about using the place. There is a chair lift at the pool for people who can't walk at all. So far no one has offered it to me - yay.
So we are watching football in the snow. I think it's so funny that they go ahead and play and scrape off the yard lines.
The funeral yesterday was well done. Lots of people in this rather dreary old small town funeral home. How do they get it to smell like dust and Pledge at the same time? Its was a non religious memorial with lots of shared memories. The last item was playing the song "Mamma Mia" by Abba. Might sound odd but this lady loved that movie and saw it 26 times! It was kind of how she lived. Afterwards there was a lunch thing at the small town Portuguese hall. Lovely old place and good company. It all managed to be kind of uplifting and was totally in the spirit of this person.
More yum yums tonight. Chili tomorrow for the college championships. CC who is your Dad rooting for?
Ann drive safely. Hope you have one of those cold weather kits in your car. Candles, matches, flashlight and whatever. Pic of the chairs sometime
Yay DD a whole day without leaving the house. Tea and the Times. What a trip!
Yep Paula agreed you chose the right travel time. Whales galore!! See any babies? Mama's Fish House?
Liz sounds like a great party and trip. Hope that resort does better as it sounds like a great place.
