Weight 119. I took my injection last night at the same dose as I have been taking for the prior 7 weeks. I think I will cut it back to the lowest dose next week since I am now dipping lower than my range.

Our trip back from beautiful Block Island was uneventful, after having a wonderful breakfast on a deck overlooking the harbor. I would really like to go back there again in the future. Justice was home for one night but now we are going to visit DS in Portland Maine for 2 nights, dropping Justice on the way at DH's daughter's home. He gets along well with their dog so should be fine.

So more driving today - It will take about 3.5 hours to get there. I am doing the driving as my car has been returned to me at last. I have put almost no mileage on it this year.

I hope you guys continue to have beautiful weather - ours is supposed to hold through next week. Pray for the same on September 28!

Have a fun Friday!

Thanks for the info re the lost lady. She must've been pretty freaked, especially at night. However, 63 certainly isn't in my definition of "elderly." Dementia would, of course, cause a bad situation to get worse fast.

I took approximately that many pieces with me to Florida. The rest doesn't matter though we are swapping out some of DH's stuff at the other Cape house because mine is much newer.

I can part with most of my furniture. The things that matter most to me aren't more than 4-5 pieces, including my grand piano. DF's furniture is lovely.

Thanks, Liz. It's good to know what I should plan for here.

Greetings all

It's a perfect sunny day - not a cloud in the sky and it's not hot. Love it.

Our treadmill broke last night. It would start up and go about a zillion miles per hour and then stop. DH is consulting various sources on how to fix it since I doubt there is any service for it around here. I might call my gym and see what they do to fix their stuff. Big cities have repair companies. Not here. So I actually took a dog out for a walk this morning. Not far; not much but I did it. I hope DH can fix the treadmill as I have come to appreciate it.

So the elderly lady lost in the woods was found by a search and rescue team. Several teams came in from various counties. Her family knew to look in these woods because she had wandered there before. Thing is she is only 63. Obviously has some dementia She was glad to be found and was not trying to hide. Genuinely lost. There are various subdivisions that back up to this enormous forest tract.

Liz sounds like a lot of biking! Ebike sounds like a good idea. Sounds like a charming place. Glad the car will return soon.

Just ate an apple with peanut butter on it. Yum. Home grown apple. Very filling.

So DH is still on his adventure with the cable tv service. Had to go to their office to take back this card and then be on the phone. I am still in the learning phase.

Burgers tonight. Who knows what else.

Cheers. Diane S

You always seem to have a trip on the horizon which is wonderful! Always good to be looking forward to something. Our next mini trip is to Door County in October, right around DH's birthday!

I have a friend that had a family history of Alzheimer's and she has been doing the brain games for years to help ward it off for herself. Not sure if it will hel*****t but why not try!

Yes, hopefully the new dose for you will jump start more loss. I would consider the summer a big win though since you said you historically gain! And I agree, when you get back to AZ you will have more control of the choices and social situations!

If you can part with your furniture it is so much easier to do that!
