Sitting at the table drinking tea and enjoying the view through the full bank of windows that is the east wall of the kitchen (one of the house's smiley-points for me) while DH is eating donuts, drinking coffee and watching a soccer game at DS1's house (one of the very best smiley-points for him).
Those pesky rodents are something else with the car wires. We've had repairs on vehicles over the years with the buggers chowing down like they were at a Chinese buffet. Figured it was due to the home's location (surrounded by corn and soybean fields) but guess they're everywhere. Supposedly, if you leave the hood open and sprinkle mothballs around the car's floor space they will stay away (didn't work for us).
Just planning on piddling around a bit and then later will swing by DS#2's and do some shopping, have lunch somewhere and stop by the butcher locker/shop to purchase some prime county fair beef ( the ribbon winners are auctioned off and for a while available at various markets- unbelievably good stuff). Will send some home with DS as a treat for helping with the move.
That's about it for the day. I do believe the first real hint of Fall has arrived, not that it won't flip into summer again, but only for a bit before sliding full into my very favorite season.
I have watched those videos so many times, I skip to the quiz, take it, pass it, and then go back and let the video sections run while I do something else. Yes, I'm a cheater!
Yeah for DH getting in lots of birthday celebrations. One of my friend's wives has a birthday month, celebrations for 30 days :)
These meds are a brave new frontier. I saw an advertisement for a program that used compounding pharmacy, and it seemed like their advertised price was a bit lower than current prices. As more and more effective options come on the market, hopefully prices will continue to go down.
I got a good portion of paperwork done yesterday. I still have 2 mandatory training videos to watch, the famous blood borne pathogens with built in quiz, and Mandatory Reporting video, not sure if there is a quiz for that one.
We had a truly lovely evening out. 80 degrees, low humidity, gentle breeze, good conversation, delicious food... I wore a dress that made me feel so pretty. My daughter bought it from Posh Mark several years ago. It fit neither of us, but I can finally wear it now. I almost don't want to look at pictures DH took, because what if it doesn't look as great as I thought!
Today, off to a birthday party for my great nephew. It's been a tumultuous time for my nephew and his wife. Her Dad was in hospice, and passed away last weekend. They decided to go ahead with the party, as she's sure that's what her Dad would want. Knowing him a bit, it totally makes sense. He was a very kind man, who loved his grandchildren very much.
His funeral is this coming Friday. For a moment I thought, I can't miss the 4th day of school. But I thought they need me more than the students do that one day. The students won't care where I was, but my nephew and niece will remember I was with them.
Looks like another blue ribbon weather day. Perfect for a kids birthday party!
That's so sweet of them to charge only $560/month instead of $1,060/month for a weight loss drug.
Gag! How in hell do people afford this stuff?

Weight 121. Still hanging at the same place. DH did comment that it was good to see me eating more yesterday.
We have gotten lax about putting Justice in his crate when we go out. Yesterday he peed on a mat in the bathroom (generally if he has to go he uses the bathroom - sort of LOL). He almost never goes in the house unless we haven't taken him outside for a longer time than usual due to rain or forgetfulness but yesterday we weren't out for very long. I hope he is okay.
I finally heard from the dealer about my car yesterday. It will be laid up for a while again as it is more rodent damage so the insurance company has to be involved once more. Apparently they didn't follow all the wiring previously because the mice chewed the electrical wires to the driver airbag. I have a video showing a channel of seeds along the path they used. Arghhh. DH calculated that since we came back from Florida in mid-May I have only had use of my car for 3 weeks. I guess the mileage isn't going up much this year.
The beach yesterday was very pleasant - we went to the nicest beach in town which I never go to in the height of summer because there are too many people there. It was perfect yesterday. Today is more beach, then we are celebrating DH's 70th birthday with his daughters and their families. His birthday isn't until a week from tomorrow but they won't be available then. Justice is coming with us to DH's cape house where he will hang out with the other 3 dogs.
Did you guys see that LillyDirect is going to offer vials of Zepbound at a reduced price? I need to find more information about that - something I read said they were single dose vials. I'm not sure if the price is by vial or for 4 doses/4 vials.
Time to drink my protein enriched coffee. Have a satisfying Saturday!

I'm curious too re the cardboard treatment.
