Greetings all

Still more sun. We usually get this for a couple of winter weeks. Then rain will be back. So I went to the gym and did my walking. Wearing a mostly black outfit. Picture a penguin walking on a treadmill. That's me!

Studio time after that. Make a few small things but mostly gossiped.

Zoom board meeting tonight at which the lease debacle will be discussed. Still formulating my evil plan to get our landlord to agree with us.

Yep Liz, golf on a cold day is a no go. Better to relax. (Like golf is a job). Speaking of which, I watched part of an event on the gym tv that appeared to be an indoor golf tournament. They had big time players like Tiger Woods in a smallish indoor stadium hitting a ball but all the course was virtual so I guess it judged the hitting power and direction with some sensor. Weirdest thing I have ever seen plus there was no sound so I sort of had to guess what it was.

I hear you on that .10 number Peps. It has more influence on us than it should but it is still a thing. I have avoided the scale but feel good about each addition .10 I get on the treadmill. Competitive little penguin am I.

CC enjoy the clear weather. Must be balloon central. But lack of rain is always concerning.

Paula we love your travel posts. Yay.

Here is a funny story (sort of). An acquaintence has a DH who has the same disease in his hands that I have - Dupeyten's Disease. He has it even worse than me and has seen my same doctor. His pinky finger was so bad that he decided to have it amputated (not that rare as it can dig into palm). So he did it and then they had a Viking Funeral for the finger!! Like put it in a paper boat and set it on fire on a lake!. Accompanying party featured finger food...

Hey Ann did you get a fancy couch? Hope so.

Not much else. Did some adult stuff like sales tax return and other paperwork stuff. No fun. How did I ever do that all day long?

Pot pie tonight. Diane s

That finger story is too much in all the ways. What a spirited person! I'm surprised one can leave the procedure with the amputated finger in possession.

Surprised me, too!

Funny finger story! Speaking of amputation, Mom had her 3rd right toe partially amputated today due to an infection that went to the bone. Unfortunately that infection has also spread to her right artificial hip so now she also needs surgery on her hip. At 88, any surgery is risky and she has quite a few comorbidities that make surgery even more risky.

I'm sorry about your mom, Paula!

I guess it is better to laugh about a lost finger than to cry about it!

Is the treadmill walking helping you with balance? I feel like I need to work on that as standing on one foot can be quite difficult these days.

5 month supply of Tirzepatide has been ordered! Whoo hooo!

Full disclosure, they charged $50 more per month for the extended expiration date formula and I forfeited my 20% loyalty discount, but now I don't have to worry about where my meds are coming from until July! Was a big chunk of change with which to part, but I'm worth it, dammit!

Absolutely you are worth it! Trizepatide: piles of money. Quality of Life: Priceless

Yay for getting 6 months of meds! I just ordered double my current dose (10 mg).

Great to not feel pressure to find a new source for a while isn't it? Interesting that they charge more - did they use a different pharmacy? I actually paid less with my bulk order from HenryMeds.
