None of these issues are mine. I'd rather be prone one day and have a 20-item checklist the next day. Adrenaline is probably my favorite drug.

I do love my yogurt, oatmeal, chia seeds, berries combinations. It feels like I'm eating dessert for breakfast.

Weight 121 (official weekly weight). Since my weight was unchanged for 3 weeks and there was about 5 ml left in the vial I used the 5. Week to week decision on whether to drop to 2.5 at some point. And also whether I will stop taking it altogether like BB ultimately. Her reasons for stopping were very sound but I only seem to have positives from the meds. I still enjoy food but way less of it and don't crave the really bad carbs. And I love that the usual inflammation in my knees and other joints is gone.
My car is still at the dealer and they did not call with the update they promised yesterday so I will be chasing them this morning. This dealer used to have fantastic customer service which is why I bought my last 2 cars from them. I had experienced great service on my prior car when I first moved full-time to the Cape. But now getting them on the phone is nearly impossible and when I leave a voicemail it is rarely returned. I spelled this out in the review from the corporate entity - they used to really care about those reviews but who knows anymore.
Today we are going to the beach for a bit, then meeting friends at the local winery and going out to eat at a place which created wonderful outdoor dining during COVID and retained it. It is just down the street and a favorite spot. I will miss all my usual places to walk, go to the beach, shop, and eat out after I sell the house. But it is time.
Have a finagling Friday!

I don't like water either and sweet stuff isn't sitting well with me. I do enjoy the jolly rancher flavor packets - green apple and watermelon, taste just like the candy but in drink form!

Greetings all
It was chilly here this morning and I actually turned on the heated steering wheel in the car and considered the seats! But by the time I got to Arcata and the studio the sun was out. Go figure. I made a couple of things and surveyed the building facade project. It really does look nice. No one but me is concerned about the cost.
Stopped at the store after that. Ran into a friend I had not seen in many years. She had been really ill for awhile with some undiagnosed neurological issue. She seems pretty good now. Older and thinner but good. Somewhere I heard that it was a vitamin b6 issue. Reminds us all to get a vitamin check once in awhile.
Peps seems like you just finished getting Goat all tricked out and now a new one! Glad you have a place to do all that. Pics on TT look great.
Speaking of vehicles, the tow people come to haul our old one away saturday. Donation to NPR. It will be good to have it gone.
Paula sorry you are ailing. Good idea to lay low. Hope it all passes soon.
Bonnie new house and new tv! I never had bedroom tvs until DH came along. Single tv home! What a concept! Many years ago I handled the estate of a man who had 14 or more tvs. There were two in the master bathroom - both a his and hers tv. Also a huge projection tv in the basement. This was all before flat screens. Anyway, congrats on being moved and having neighbors. It will be fun to discover.
Thanks for posting those pictures Liz. It is indeed sad that there are loved ones who will miss the upcoming wedding.
Speaking of neighbors, our neighborhood seems to have more kids these days. Some of the houses have been sold as the old folks died out. It's nice to see and hear the kids on their skateboards. And they all have helmets! Raise your hand if you did NOT have a bike helmet as a kid. (visualize me raising hand).
Little food news. Remaining shrimp to be consumed tonight. Then comes the final frontier: search for easy to prepare food.

Sounds like a headache day. I had one too. Advil took care of it. I'm probably dehydrated as well. I don't like water, so it's a challenge.
Meeting was fine, I finished up the newsletter and am waiting for input before it's sent out.
Kirby had a walk and I didn't do much more of anything! Boring report, sorry.
Take care all!
168 on the dot today. Headache and some nausea today. I know I?m dehydrated so I?m focusing on fluids more than calories today. I?m terrible at drinking water or much of anything! Need to do better with that!
Skipped Bible study this morning and went back to bed for 2 hours. Hope whatever is going on goes away soon.
Plan on making Red Curry shrimp for dinner. Hope I can eat some!
Miss 150, glad you are finally getting settled in the new home. We had an acre lot too. Have to be very intentional to meet the neighbors. You don?t just casually see each other at the mailboxes or on the front sidewalk.
Liz, you are always so busy with activities and visiting people! Good for you! I?m not sure I have the energy to do that much!

All is very much the same today.... Same weight.... Like Liz, today is shot day. I am upping to 12.5 this week. I will stay there as long as possible since I only have one more dosage increase available to me after this one.
Van planning is coming along. Construction should start soon. Yay! Stupid RV is still not even close to ready, so I don't think I'll be using it again at all. Makes me sad.... I do love the damn thing, but it's just not worth keeping it at my income level. I have more productive uses for that money.
Good workout yesterday. Another planned for this afternoon.
Liz, wishing you well today. Lots of emotions, I'm sure. Hugs.
That's it from here...
