Down days like yesterday for you are tough and probably made you more irritated at the goings on at last nights meeting. Hopefully your mood is much improved!

I just checked my saved items for any reduction in price. I only purchased a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses to replace my older ones. I already feel like I have too much stuff (after going through the house).

So sorry about your Dad. Seems like he just got over the same problem?

Hospital stays, yah, there is a time when I am definitely glad to be in a spot where there are skilled nursing and doctors. The minute I transition to recovery, HOME is truly the place to be.

Good on you for voting- local politics, often ignored, is where we truly have a say in affairs.

Oh what an awful cascade of events! How kind of you all to help them on their return. Poor puppy too...

My dad was not kept overnight. They purposely did not mention his history of sepsis as that usually means they keep him for days. They changed the stent and loaded him up with mega antibiotics and sent him home. Better place to heal than a hospital. He was pretty awful last night as he is a very dramatic, mean sick person, but was joking and seemed happier today though still a little weak.

My bites are still so itchy and my pants keep brushing against them and making them itch more. Waaaaah! Talk about dramatic! I knew I got it from someone...

Chilly again today with a north wind, but it sure makes for a beautiful clear day with no humidity.

Scale was down .4 today to 189.6.

I have tidying to do today (when don't I?) and my new mesh router comes today so I need to install that. And I need to finish my ballot and mail it back. Not much on it but county elections since I live outside the city limits. Somewhat aggravating to be affected by a town's policies, but not be able to vote on the people that make them.

I think that's all. Have a great day!

Good morning all ! One of my Mahjongg friends has been doing a two month RV trip out west with her boyfriend and two dogs. BF is in his seventies and went into Afib in New Mexico, and ended up with a pacemaker. He typically does most of the driving in their massive A, towing a big Jeep. They slowly were making their way back (2 hours a day...he wasn't cleared to fly) and had an accident in Arkansas. They totaled the RV and the Jeep, he broke his wrist and one of their dogs wa**** and killed on the highway. Several of us offered to fly out to help, but they wanted to finish insurance/police paperwork and wait until BF was cleared to fly, and they arrive home today. We have been preparing meals and stocking them up on groceries. Don't know a lot of the details, but they lost most of what was in their RV. I know I'd pack things like coffee, OJ, butter, eggs etc. to finish up from my kitchen before buying new. We've tried to anticipate basics needs they may need when they arrive late tonight. Let's be reminded... live every moment of every day to its fullest. Chip away at that bucket list.... If not now, when ?

Age: 64; 5' 5"; High weight: 345; Start weight: 271 (01/05/15); Surgery weight: 218 (05/27/15); Pre-Op (-53); M 1 (-18); M 2 (-1.5); M 3 (-13.5 ); M 4 (-13); M 5 (- 8); M 6 (-12) M 7 (-5, Xmas); M 8 (- 9) Under surgeon's goal and REACHED HEALTHY BMI 12/07/15!! (Six months and one week.) AT GOAL month 8. Maintaining at goal range (139- 144) ~ four (4) years !!
