Hi, all,
Just checking in...made it through Thanksgiving with some good friends. My DD and I decided that we would host Christmas this year as usual. Though it will be difficult, we think facing it head on is best. So she and I decorated--I'll try to post a pic on TT (I've loved seeing the other pics!).
On the weight front, I decided to stop the semaglutide for a couple of months to see how I do. I have had side effects (intestinal), so I'd like to do a reset. I fully expect that I will need to go back on at the low dose I've been using to maintain my weight loss, but I am interested to see what happens. So I skipped last Friday, my usual day. So far, nothing much has changed...
Other than that, pretty much keeping my head down and taking each day at a time. Will TRY to be better about checking in. I do read everything on FB at least!

It was what I thought - every box or bag had 1 thing in it. Even duplicates like dog treats each had their own box.
146.4. Very blustery cold day with snow flurries! Have I ever mentioned that I hate Wisconsin winters?
We had errands to run today so it wasn't fun being out in this blowing mess! Ate lunch at Red Robin. I had 2 bites of a mushroom Swiss burger (no bun) and 2 onion rings. Continued our hunt for a new dining room table and the prices are crazy. $9,000 for a 72 inch round table and 8 chairs. I'm thinking we may just try and refinish the granite topped table we have. I can't justify the price for a new one not knowing how long we will stay here and what will work in a downsized house/condo.
Looks like Bible study tonight might get canceled due to poor road conditions! Have I mentioned that I hate Wisconsin winters?

I was just thinking that I am 20 years younger than Ann and 10 younger than Liz. You both have more energy than me!!!

Greetings all
Another sunny crisp day. I am dawdling around while the house gets cleaned. DH chipped a tooth so he has been on a mission to find a new dentist. I think I mentioned we did not like the one that took over for our retired dentist. Should have started on this sooner I guess. Anyway he got a referral from the periodontist to a general dentist who is taking new patients. So we will go with it. Office staff seems nice.
19 packages CC! big Christmas list plus new house furnishing!! Enjoy. And yeah you have a 70 pound puppy! Fun story about the red mud even if it is not fun for you. Glad we don't have mud here due to aggressive weeds. Your tree looks great.
Happy birthday Ann! We all want to be you when we grow up. You have so much energy and you radiate goodness and kindness, Your DF is so lucky. Hope he knows it.
Liz that kebob dinner sounds great. We are in a food rut and need to move beyond. DH is now drinking kefir and likes it. Maybe I willl try it. Hope you can do water aerobics.
Lots of glazing for me to do for this friday's firing. That will give me some new stuff for my empty gallery space. So I will do that after I go walk at gym. Feeling guilty for skipping yesterday so must do today. Groceries after that. It's getting to be pot roast weather. But pot pie sounds good too.

USPS said I have 19 packages coming! Normally my monthly delivery comes in 2 boxes!
Yeah Amazon is here a lot too - I have packages arriving here and at my SILs on Cape Cod this week.
And sorry, but I had to laugh at the image of Kirby and you with red mud everywhere

You have more energy than I do and I am 10 years younger (70 in March). I sure hope I hold up as well as you!

Argh, the irrigation was on this morning and Kirby took it upon himself to dig a great big muddy hole under a tree. The dirt here is 100% bright red! Paws and mouth were dripping with red mud. He then ran over to show me and jumped up getting mud all over me. Good times with a still-puppy! I leashed him up and tied him to a lounge chair to stop the digging momentarily so I could get the hose ready. He was not happy to have his handiwork rinsed off.
Shot day today. Holding steady at 183.6. I made a hamburger and rice dish Mexican casserole last night, figuring it is high protein and I can graze on it for several days. Looked like dog food, but tasted pretty good. My house smells like onions this morning though and I hate that more than any other lingering kitchen smell!
I need to do some cleaning today. Fur Management is such a big part of my world! I also need to work on the neighborhood newsletter and a request to replace a bunch of trees that died this year. I have an embarrassing number of Amazon packages coming today too. I do subscribe and save, but between that and Black Friday sales it's as if they put each item in a separate box. The postal worker will hate me!
That's all from Sedona! Have a lovely day all.
