153.4. Feels like a solid drop to me, only time will tell!
Bible study this morning. Cold, wet rainy day! Boooooo! (The thumbs down kind, not the Halloween scary kind).
I think we will go out to eat at Olive Garden to avoid the trick or treaters. I?m always good for their minestrone soup and salad and it is one of DSDs favs.
This cold wet weather is making me super cold! I just want to slip under a blanket and hibernate! At least I have one warm dog lying beside me!
Liz, I would say a gift certificate for a local restaurant or coffee shop for a gift idea. If she imbibes, a bottle of wine is always nice too!

I think gifts without residual clutter are best. Something that gets used up or an experience. Maybe a bottle of champagne to celebrate?
That would drive me crazy!

Benzonatate tessalon perles! Those things are magic to stop reflexive coughing...
It is quite a problem at school. This morning there is a freshly baked chocolate bundt cake not only staring me in the face, but the aroma is pretty amazing, too! Right beside the bundt cake is a pumpkin filled and iced Kringle (a Wisconsin staple!) for the taking!
The food will be plentiful today. Next week the holiday treats will start in full swing.
Good thing is I haven't eaten any candy this week! Whoo hoo!
Weight 119.4.
Happy Halloween though it seems like a non-day to me. Hopefully it will be fun for you folks celebrating it one way or another though. I hope Diane S and DH have as successful a party as always. I saw on FB that BB had her annual party - their costumes are always amazing.
I was ravenous last night and craving sweets. What I call the hungry horrors which I haven't had since I went on Tirzepatide. I didn't like it. I actually dreamed of getting donuts. I apparently was craving one of those apple filled ones with cinnamon and sugar on the outside. Luckily that craving has subsided this morning and I take my injection in a bit.
Any suggestions on what to give as a gift for a woman turning 60 who we are friendly with but don't know super well? We are going to her birthday party on Saturday.
Nothing on the agenda today other than giving our downstairs neighbors a ride to pick up a rental car this morning. Probably a beach day. My shoulder is slightly stiff from water aerobics which is potentially a good sign that it is getting some work.
Have a terrifyingly tricky Thursday!

Yes on blocking the ads. Here in Florida the TV stations are from Palm Beach county so we get their ads plus the ones from Treasure Coast county (our county). We've decided that the 70 year old running for sheriff in Pam Coast needs to retire.

Is Eating season mostly a problem at school because people bring treats in? I don't find it any bigger a problem as a retiree though I did in the office years ago. There are the same number of dinners out tempting me but no more stuff in the house than usual. If it is at school, this is the last year of that!

Absolutely! Mine was stage 1, if I had skipped my mammogram, another years growth, it would have been survivable, but the treatment would have been much more difficult. My SIL had a much more aggressive tumor found at her annual screening. Another year, and she wouldn't have survived. As it was she had a double mastectomy , chemo, radiation, and infusions for immunotherapy.
Also colonoscopies. Get them. I've had 5 polyps removed over several procedures. I like my chances much better without them.
I haven't done Mexican for a while. It may be time!
Congrats on a clear mammo. So many women seem to get breast cancer these days. Feels like more than 50% of my closest family/friends. An excellent reason to be scanned regularly.
