Thanks to you and CC for the link to myknobs.com. I'm on there now, starting the review.

And that's exactly what i learned yesterday--that it's impossible to showcase all the knobs and pulls out there. I'm now looking at gazillions online.

Just lost my entire post and don't know why (it just disappeared)!
117.6 - still low but my tummy was off yesterday so I didn't eat a lot.
Busy day yesterday, but today is only golf with the ladies in the morning. I am already being pressured by them to add an additional day of golf but am resisting. I feel like I have enough activities these days (4 days) and would rather spend time with my husband. I think it is different for me because we have been married such a short time compared to the rest.
Tonight may be chicken wings for DH at his favorite spot but I struggle to find something I like there (I don't like chicken wings). Everything else is too junky or too large. I often up with a portobello wrap which tastes good but doesn't have much protein. I may have to make up for that earlier in the day.
Have a thematic Thursday!

Justice is not good about nails either though he is quite docile about everything else.
i had to look up BlueSky - I never heard of it. I used to work in technology but one sure loses their edge quickly.

Curious: Are you on the highest dose of tirzepatide so that's why you feel dieting is needed?
The mind is indeed strange - enjoy when your Dad has his good days. It seemed to me that the good days were often followed by the opposite perhaps because the energy required to summon memories and spirit from former times was exhausting.

So sorry you are so sick. Rest up!

135.8. Unfortunately I am down for the count. Feel like absolute dog dodo! I'm not able to eat, 700 calories on Monday, less than 300 yesterday and so far today 360. I'm trying to prioritize rest and hydration. I'll skip my dose tomorrow and resume with a half dose on Sunday if my appetite returns.

Greetings all
This is to be the last sunny day for awhile. Rain arrives soon. Got Tesla to the vet for annual check up and some shots plus nail trim. She is nasty about that but otherwise very good. House got cleaned this morning so all is good. I still need to hit the gym but we shall see. Not feeling it but also have no excuse.
Hey Ann, CC told me about a place called myknobs.com or something like that which has a zillion drawer pulls and knobs and in many colors and finishes. Extensive.
Yeah Liz, that sink was Homary. I kind of want one but I bet all those little fountains and squirts would clog up. Still it's cool.
Yow CC ceramic totem! Nice and a lot of work. So glad you have that and showed us.
Well Peps sounds like you are in the frame of mind to get that next 10 off. You will do it. And yes I saw the ice raids. Not cool.
Tastee sandwiches again tonight. The $10 per pound gourmet hamburger seemed about like any other lean hamburger. Perfectly good but doubt I will get it again.
Not much else. I signed up for Blue Sky but haven't quite figured it out.

213.5 I think I'm going to have to diet to get this last 25+ pounds off. Dammit! Well, I guess since the first 65-70 has come off with minimal effort, a little hard core dieting to get the last bit off is not a big deal. I'm sure with the meds on board it won't be as difficult as I fear. All of my issues with eating at this point are choice and emotional based. Glad I am able to own that. We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks. I have two and a half weeks to reach my goal of 210 by my b'day. Still doable IF I buckle down.
I left the house without my bag this morning. So no wallet, no phone, no cash, no cards... Throws a wrench into my plans of doing a few things after school (including picking up Ron's b'day present). I'll have to go home and scoot out again. Boooooo!
Had a lovely visit with my dad yesterday evening. He was talkative and up beat. He was pretty with it, though made some interesting errors - like telling me he needs to time his phone calls to his long time girlfriend who lives about 45 minutes away because there is a 3 hour time difference to consider. I find it interesting what he does and doesn't remember. He remembered my great aunt's name (my mother's aunt who lived in Germany) when discussing a statue he had seen on his travels, but he doesn't remember the name of the college where he worked for 35 years. Brain function/dysfunction is truly fascinating.
Paula, I hope you are not down for the count and your bout with Covid is mild.
CC, hope your dad is on the mend.
Not too surprising that local ICE appearances are making the evening news here. It was reported that not only are some immigrants not showing up for work, but they are keeping children out of school - even legal immigrants and their citizen children. I hope that our district's outreach and assurances to parents will keep our kids coming to school. It is federal law that children under 18 are entitled to free public education independent of citizenship or legal residency and status.
Not much else to report.
