I wish I was in 80+ degree weather. It is in the low 50s and windy here. I am freezing! I hope we can back to Florida on schedule Monday.

Up a full pound from Tuesday. Eh... I kind of carbed out yesterday, so no big surprise. LIz's donut craving hit me in a big way. Auntie Kathryn brought over a bag of donuts. I ate a few donut holes and half a jelly donut. UGH...

Interesting observation: with only the 20 units of tirzepatide on board vs. 63 units, my satiety level rapidly adjusted to allow for larger meals. I decided to go ahead and take my shot a day early since I essentially missed last week. I will try to get back on my normal Thursday schedule next week. I'm interested to see how long it takes the med to kick in and lower my satiety level.

I don't believe the lack of medicine caused the carb consumption yesterday, but rather the fact that it was the appearance of free donuts and the fact that donuts were on my mind because of Liz's comment. It was a perfect "donut storm". Liz, you are not alone!

I purposely stayed off the news this morning. I did not want to see devastation in Florida. I'm really glad to know that the hurricane caused less damage than anticipated. However, the addition of tornados to a hurricane seems like overkill. Not very nice of Mother Nature. I wonder how the Manatees fare during hurricanes and flooding. Alligators, too.

Good news on doggy teeth! Bug's bite is almost normal. I think another week or two and her bite will be completely correct! Yay!!!!

Not much else from here.

Weight 121. Shot day today. Hopefully it will calm down my hunger, though it was better yesterday.

I was awake around 4 thinking about Florida. We all got up at 5 though Justice didn't seem like he was ready LOL. The damage reports from where my friends are don't seem too onerous yet, but the one from Venice still hasn't come in. Venice is just south of Siesta Key where Milton made landfall. On social media they are saying that it wasn't as bad as Ian so that is a good sign. Yesterday afternoon the fear where we live was Tornados. Several people in Fort Pierce, just south of Vero Beach, were killed in a Tornado. The power was out for about an hour in Vero late yesterday afternoon, then back on for the night but it went out again early this morning. I get notices from the camera in the house when it goes out. I should clarify that this will happen when either power or Wi-Fi goes out, but likely it was the power.

Today we will just wait to hear how bad it is. I expect the power outages on the west coast of Florida will be a big deal for the next few days.

I should clarify what the CEO at DS's company planned. He wasn't going to fly if commercial airlines weren't flying. He was going to use the corporate jet if they couldn't rebook the employees on a commercial airline early enough. Right now they are rebooked to fly in late today on a commercial flight, but that will only happen if Orlando Airport is open by then. We have a friend in Orlando *****ported that it was raining hard and he had no power but there wasn't much damage there. At that point the hurricane was just getting to the east coast so still passing over Orlando.

Today the plan is to ship the Florida boxes then meet DH's sisters for dinner off-Cape. Have a thrifty Thursday!

Honestly, the time they will be useful here is limited. Between scorpions, snakes, wasps, tarantulas, bats, roaches, locusts, lizards, no see ums, mosquitoes, birds, 110 degree heat and 15 degree snow storms, I think the idea is better than practicality of them!

Peps, count me in the emotional eating cohort. I can be triggered by boredom, stress, procrastination, and other ailments.
