So tired after a bad night of sleep. I was the energizer bunny on Thursday almost feeling like I did before this shoulder thing started over a year ago but yesterday I crashed. We ran around before lunchtime getting supplies for house freshening, then did some more work. I finished a remaining cabinet and closet that I had forgotten about plus a bit in the garage and then I completely lost energy. Last night it seemed like every muscle and joint in my body hurt almost as if I had the flu but I had no fever or other symptoms. I also had a spasm in one neck muscle. I finally got up at 4 and took some naproxen which has calmed things down but now I will have to struggle with lack of sleep.

My goal today if I can manage it is to clean the furnace room and start on the garage. We need to pull down the insulation in one basement storage room and replace it with the new stuff we bought yesterday but I'm really afraid of doing work overhead with a healing shoulder and another borderline one so that may all have to be done by DH. DH gets no benefit from me selling the house but he has been an amazing help. He is quite the workhorse though like me ends up with lots of aches and pains afterwards. I can't even imagine doing this work without him.

Tonight is supposed to be date night - I expect it will be an early one. I am going to try and stop the work in the house early enough to be okay for going out.

Probably somewhat healthier eating tonight as we are going to a fish place. My increased dose of 7.5 mg tirzepatide this weekend did seem to work in bringing my appetite back down but I did have a slice of pizza last night. Only one though, then I was full.

Time to get cracking on something. Have a salutiferous Saturday!

Glad you made it there safely! I bet Kirby will love it in Michigan.

We are pretty close then, as the bird flies!

I am so so tired! I was tired yesterday I think from the anxiety of leaving for a few months and travel. And the air here is so clean and it's so quiet that it pretty much knocks me out. But then Kirby was very restless last night, even bringing me toys to play with at three in the morning and barking at the sprinklers at four. So I'm a bit of a zombie today.

it's gray and rainy here so I really didn't do anything today except some boxes I had delivered and clean the coffee maker. My 10 mg came today so that was much faster than the nine days they quoted.

I ended up fessing up to my folks about being on Zepbound because my package was delivered today. They really didn't have much to say about it, but at least there were no concerns.

tonight I'm making a creamy chicken enchilada soup. I think planning dinners that keep me low on calories and high on protein and also satisfy my dad while not giving him too much protein (kidney) will be interesting. When I by myself, I don't eat normal dinners. I have small, fairly unbalanced snack like meals. But it works for me.

192.8 today, but also a change in scales so who knows. Hope everyone is doing well! My iPad is about to die so I ought to hit send. take care!

We used to be overrun with chipmunks. The last straw was them breaking into my house somehow and storing acorns in my couch and making a nest between my mattress and box springs. We now have a rodent service (Hogarths, but my dad calls them Hogwarts) who baits for them. No in house visitors since. I'm not a fan of poison, but desperation is desperation.

And it seems to rain daily in MI too. My folks said they haven't seen much sun so far this season. No rain in the forecast today and it's rained for several hours. More tomorrow.
