Weight about the same. Not much on my docket today either! Balanced 3 different checkbooks! Weather is nice and sunny. Took the puppies for a short walk and now just bored. DH went golfing and DC 1 is over but napping in one of the guest rooms.

Looks like my PCP is agreeable to prescribing Zepbound for me. Now to see if we make it through the pre authorization process. Hopefully it won't be too difficult!

Hope you are all having great days!

Weight 121.4. Not a lot on deck today but we leave for 5 days starting tomorrow so need to do laundry and pack for that. Also, I am hoping I can get my car back finally. I have had a loaner all this time so you'd think they would want it returned.

The trip starting tomorrow is bouncing from place to place which I don't love doing but just kind of happened. Two nights in Saratoga Springs NY, 1 night visiting friends on Lake George in NY, 1 night in Burlington VT, then 1 final night in Worcester MA.

Yesterday was a good day. We moved some furniture to fill gaps created by DS's departure. SIL and I took a ride to Chatham and strolled through multiple stores, then ate a small dinner at a resort on the water. Really nice way to spend the day.

Time to change the clothes in the wash. Have a marvelous Monday!

I hope the plane buzzing stopped quickly! It does sound nerve wracking.

So hard to see our children be unhealthy. My DS is about 50 pounds overweight which is enough to make him sweat like crazy when he does physical activity like moving. He also needs to quit smoking but even though he is taking 2 medications to help he just can't stop completely. He has cut down, but that makes him eat more.

Long day but fun. Bus (my SUV) left for Door County at 8:40 this morning and we arrived home around 5. Visited a few parks, walked around some of the quaint little towns, did a little shopping, ate lunch out and headed home! It was DC1's request to go but they forgot to take their meds this morning so the busy crowds made them anxious. They did enjoy a rock and gem store that we visited though! Unfortunately, being about 300 lbs. makes it difficult for them to do much walking. The 26 year old kept telling the almost 60 year olds to slow down! Makes me sad for them!

Injection day today. I'm down for daily calories and down on protein today so will try and have one of those Chobani completes soon!

Greetings all

It's a sunny day and I am recovered from yesterday's marathon. It was a lot of walking for little old me. These people are the energizer bunnies and never sit still and eat all the time. We went to the ocean view restaurant last night and the fog had mostly cleared so it was beautiful. It is a great place. Only a small amount of *****ing by my highly opinionated friend.

I went to the studio today and did some glazing. Place was full and busy. Kiln opens tomorrow. Home now and the air show continues with really loud vintage planes. The airport is close and I swear they are buzzing our house on purpose. Oh well, it will be over in an hour.

Lobster roll Liz! I feel a craving coming on. So glad DS is settled and you can return to normal, whatever that might be.

DD it does sound like early fall weather there but we all know that can't be. Enjoy the cool. Sounds like latte weather to me. And congrats on the new little family member. Joy.

Ditto Ann. Nice to be able to be outside. Also the girl meet up. Not much better.

Cripes just got buzzed really low by another one. Not jets. Really loud. Me no like this. Makes me nervous. I am surprised Tesla is not reacting as these are much worse than fireworks.

Just finished a glass of fair life milk and will have steak tonight. Eggs for breakfast. Might get enough protein in for once.

Quick explanation of murdered by capitalism:

I was intrigued and did a search on the story to find out the following (excerpted from the book The Golden Age Is In Us by Alexander ****burn): Schnaubelt's brother had been involved in the Haymarket bombing. E.B. had set up a lumber mill as a workers' co-op but then the big companies cheated him out of the land where the mill stood, though he still owned the plant. One night Schnaubelt, living nearby, thought he heard someone messing with his machinery. He went to investigate and a watchman hired by the companies shot him dead. His widow put up the stone and moved away. Local radicals now toast Schnaubelt on red-letter feast days.

more later.. Diane S

Haha, and I didn't know it was an acronym. For some reason my tablet loves to autocorrect " the "with TBE. I didn't catch the typo! But our new little one definitely is the best ever, joining the other best ever great nieces and nephews. They are so special to us.

TBE - the perfect example of an acronym that frustrates me! First off, I had to look it up. Second, the first definition for the acronym is THICK BETWEEN THE EARS. Only when you read on do you find that it also can mean THE BEST EVER.

Just had to comment on that. LOL!

Congrats on the arrival of your newest family member! What a wonderful cause for celebration!
