I love that you say Toodles! You are one of the only people I know that say that too! My friends often tease me for always ending conversations/outings with Toodles!

205.8 - same as yesterday.

I did not make it to the gym yesterday as I was unable to pull myself away from the garage cleaning. Booooo.... I could have taken a break, but Ron had mojo and motion and I was not going to miss the opportunity to get stuff done. We made a fairly good dent in decluttering. The driveway had three working piles: discard, donate, keep. I estimate we got about 25 percent of the garage tackled. We have a nice big donate pile, a medium donate pile and all the items in the keep pile are back in the garage and there is a lot more free space than there was before we started. Best is that the space for the new freezer is ready!

2 dogs on the books for today. I also have to work on Bug. Buster is ready to go. He'll just need some tweaking next week. I will try to hit the gym late afternoon or early evening while Ron is at church. No promises though.

I refuse to look at my investment accounts and am thankful and grateful to have a pension to rely on. My brother is "self pensioned" and I'm sure he is feeling the stress of the market.

On that note, GO Diamond D!!!! Proud of you for standing up and being heard.

Not much else. Toodles!

Still no contact from my friend. My friends who I've explained everything to, say to give her a few days. I am struggling with that. I have such problems with sitting with other people's silence (or silent treatment) and I go from being hurt to feeling rage at not being able to defend myself. So I slept very little last night and have a headache. And a big part of me wants to quit the board not in solidarity with my friend because what she's doing just plain isn't allowed however much I wi**** was, but because enforcing the rules on your neighbors is a terrible role and I hate it.

I managed to get my prescription filled, but for several hundred dollars more than it normally would be. The pharmacy tried every which way including multiple calls to Eli Lilly, but the savings card just wouldn't work anymore. At one point, it would only work if my BMI was over 27. I couldn't do the math fast enough to know what that weight would be, and lying is hard for me anyway.

In researching going back to compounding, that looks like a real mess. One of my former pharmacies is being sued by Eli Lilly (Empower), another has stopped selling it all together (Hallandale). The rest it sounds like can sell what they've already made so were busy bees stocking up, but once it's gone that's it unless there is a dramatic change in legislation. Several of them were trying the trick of adding something like B12 to get around the exact copy rule and are still getting sued. And now Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are going after the prescribing companies to stop compounds. I thought about doing the individual self-pay doses from Eli Lilly, but they stop at 10mg and I'm on 15. I have some concerns as the reputable pharmacies keep getting sued and stop selling it, the fly by nights selling God knows what in a vial will be who's left. Leaving me with a $900+ prescription. Frustrating. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/03/19/nx -s1-5333230/zepbound-tirzepatide-compounding-fda

Anyway, I have planting to do today. And fretting. Hope you all have a fret-free day!

Good Morning! Off to our State Capitol to hang out with some likeminded folks. Partly cloudy, with a high in the 40s. I may be over dressing, but I don't want to be cold. Power to the People!

Oh boy. What a tough position to be in. But I think DD is right - she knew she was doing something not allowed but hoped no one would do anything about it. I think everyplace that I have lived which has an HOA has had that restriction BTW.
