Tell your husband that I think he rocks. I'm pretty sure we ALL think he rocks! :)

A really scary and serious time for Florida. One of my co workers daughters is at University near Fort Meyers. She appears to have a safe place to stay, and her car is stored on the 3rd level of the Fort Meyers Airport Parking Ramp. I read about other cities that were opening ramps so people could park there.
The dryer is working! DH fixed it with a $22 part. He said the part has been failing for awhile, and I will be impressed by how hot it gets now. I'm already impressed he fixed it in the first place.
Tomorrow and Thursday we have conferences until 7pm, so two 12 hour days in a row. Ugh. But it must be done. At least now parents have to schedule. They used to be drop in, so you never knew who was showing up, or when.
Weight is steady. I'm going to make my version of chili, which involves a lot of vegetables and not a lot of chili type heat. So not sure if it's chili or not. I use a version of a Wendy's copycat recipe and I've added black beans and corn to it. We like it :)
I am surprised to be the first reply today - especially as it is almost noon here.
Fist time on the scale in a week today. I am not displeased. I weigh the same as I did when I left. Yes, secretly, I would have loved to have seen a lower number, but seeing 223.1 was a win - especially because my dose last week was less than a third of my normal dose. So, a double win!
I was pretty wiped out when I got home. I slept a lot on the plane, but it was a very light sleep. I did both suitcases unpacked and put away, did a little puttering in the closet and got some more clothes purged. I found one of my "normal" sized suits (a 44) and was happy to see I could button it, but I really need to drop another 15 or 20 before it fits properly. I do not wish to be smaller than a 42 suit coat. Anything between 42 and 44 is fine.
Oh, and after some fall like weather in Pennsylvania, coming home to 100 degree heat was rather unpleasant. I'm done with this heat. I want crisp autumn weather NOW!!! Today our "cooling trend" began. It's supposed to reach "only" the mid 90s today. FUGH!
Had weird dreams last night. Can't really remember them, but I remember waking up thinking YUCK! I think I'm glad they faded away so quickly.
I could have used a day to recover at home, but not my fortune. At least my classes were sort of enjoyable. Monday and Tuesday are not my favorite days, but I do have one first grade class on Tuesdays that is really delightful.
So, signing off from here as... Torrid Tuesday!

Weight 119.8. Need to figure out something healthy and satisfying to make for dinner tonight.
Florida is in for a big hit from Milton. My friends on the West coast have evacuated as Port Charlotte is supposed to take a big hit. I have friends with places in Venice and Clearwater as well who aren't there but very fearful about what is coming. Where we live now on the east coast it doesn't look as dire though everyone is preparing by getting all the food and toilet paper available at the stores. They generally aren't evacuating. We live in Indian River County which is under a Hurricane Warning but we are on the edge of where it changes to a Watch. The spiraling winds should be coming mostly from the south which is good because our condo has no windows on that side of the building. Our lanai opens on the north side. It just occurred to me that the box I will be shipping likely is going to take much longer than usual to reach its destination. I will have to factor that in when choosing its contents.
Yesterday I did meet SIL and BIL for lunch. And over the course of the day I got the slipcovers on the chair and couch I moved here washed so everything looks fresh.
DH stayed here and finished cleaning his garage. He feels pretty good about getting this place in shape after letting it go for a lot of years. It was a very part time place for him before he retired, then after he retired his ex moved here for a couple of years. So over all those years stuff had just been accumulating in closets, cabinets, drawers, the basement, and garage. It's mostly cleared out now though some deeper cleaning is indicated in some areas. Luckily he didn't ignore the structure so the roof, siding, and bathroom were all replaced within the last few years.
Today I will continue packing for Florida though I have some time (we leave mid-day Monday). Have a topical Tuesday!

I haven't heard anything from my pharmacy but I did get a new order just 2 weeks ago. No idea what the future will be but have seen people commenting in FB that they can't find a pharmacy with Zepbound. Hmm...

Which restaurant has this delectable dish? We make it to Door County every couple of years.
Funny! :)

159 on the dot. Think I was there not too long ago!
At our favorite B&B in Door County. Good dinner out, which was really just apps and a glass of wine. It is only 6:30 and I'm ready for bed! Lol!
We did hike just a bit today, getting some pics of lighthouses. Colors here change a bit later so no great Fall pics.
More hiking planned tomorrow and then dinner at our favorite restaurant ever! They have this seafood dish with lobster, scallops and shrimp over a puff pastry with lobster cream sauce. Pure decadence! I'll probably only be able to eat 4 bites but they will be good!
Looks like my tirz will come from a different pharmacy this month and may be able to order more than 1 month's worth next month. Then will probably have to switch to sema unless adding the B vitamins is a viable work around which is doubtful.
