Weight 121. Still hanging at the same place. DH did comment that it was good to see me eating more yesterday.
We have gotten lax about putting Justice in his crate when we go out. Yesterday he peed on a mat in the bathroom (generally if he has to go he uses the bathroom - sort of LOL). He almost never goes in the house unless we haven't taken him outside for a longer time than usual due to rain or forgetfulness but yesterday we weren't out for very long. I hope he is okay.
I finally heard from the dealer about my car yesterday. It will be laid up for a while again as it is more rodent damage so the insurance company has to be involved once more. Apparently they didn't follow all the wiring previously because the mice chewed the electrical wires to the driver airbag. I have a video showing a channel of seeds along the path they used. Arghhh. DH calculated that since we came back from Florida in mid-May I have only had use of my car for 3 weeks. I guess the mileage isn't going up much this year.
The beach yesterday was very pleasant - we went to the nicest beach in town which I never go to in the height of summer because there are too many people there. It was perfect yesterday. Today is more beach, then we are celebrating DH's 70th birthday with his daughters and their families. His birthday isn't until a week from tomorrow but they won't be available then. Justice is coming with us to DH's cape house where he will hang out with the other 3 dogs.
Did you guys see that LillyDirect is going to offer vials of Zepbound at a reduced price? I need to find more information about that - something I read said they were single dose vials. I'm not sure if the price is by vial or for 4 doses/4 vials.
Time to drink my protein enriched coffee. Have a satisfying Saturday!

the cardboard gets a big 
Wonderful, wonderful news, Ann! and 4 months to transition...what to take/leave/combine/get new/ and refresh. Watch those to-do lists.....they become notoriously long when they have a mind to.
Again, not much here.
So sad to read about Lizanne's husband's death on FB. I agree with DD: As a group, you make a collection of extremely resilient women.
I increased my tirzepatide dose yesterday. No ill effects, but I did not expect any. Good session with eating disorder/nutritionist this afternoon. Looking forward to a little more weight coming off in the next months. It would be really cool to be at my goal by my b'day in February.
Picking up GOAT tomorrow. I will empty it out, take out the crates, put the dinette back in, clean it, and see about listing it either as a consignment where I bought it, or list it with an agency out of Indiana who will deal with the sale. I don't really have the wherewithal to manage an RV sale. I will also get the 1997 Ford van detailed and listed. That I can manage!
Three glorious days off! I know I've only been back at it for 3 weeks, but an extra day off is always appreciated. My case of Senior-itis only strengthens!
Greetings all
Another nice day. Summer is still in full force here and we love it. I went to the studio and made a few messes. Today is fire day and the big kilns are running. The front door is being painted a bright marigold yellow. Looks good.
We are all thinking of Lizanne and family. Such a tough time for them all. No easy way through it. Sending peace.
Yeah cardboard in the garden. I think I did that years ago. Better than weed cloth which is worthless. The cardboard looks kind of crappy and has to be held down somehow but eventually rots away. Hope it works CC.
Happy anniversary DD! Hope you have a great dinner out. Gosh I show my age by being astonished by the shooter training skills that teachers must have these days. When I was a kid the most wild thing that happened was a dog came into the school and ran around. And once the fire alarm went off because a studen****ing a tennis ball off the wall and hit the buzzer.
New house Ann!!! It will be fun. And being down to one home sounds grand. I hope the moving and such goes quickly and smoothly.
Enjoy the beach Liz. Sounds like there are lots of great haunts there. Winery mention reminds me I have to get wine and other stuff for labor day at friends. Also your mention of outdoor dining reminds me to do that as soon that season will be over.
College football starts officially for us tomorrow. I hope our team is better this year than last year.
DH went out to lunch and brought home most of a reuben sandwich. Dinner solved. Must cook chicken for the dogs.

Bangs at 3:30 am are never good.
Enjoy the end of summer/early fall in WI!

We put cardboard down as a weed barrier in our church garden and it seems to work well!
