40's and 50's are way too cold for me!

As Peps pointed out to me you might be playing old tapes to deal with the tile person intrusion and the heat. I do think spaying is more expensive than neutering, but why were you waiting until he is 2? I thought the sooner the better?

Oh, dear Lord! I was sure the scale would be down this morning. I was very productive in the bathroom yesterday and my eating was spot on. But no such luck. Sheesh... I'm feeling a little bit scale dependent today. Not a good sign in me. I must focus instead on actual size and physical ability.
DD, it's so nice that you and your husband can make spur of the moment plans! I admire your ability to be spontaneous! I am a creature of routine these days and find it hard to step out of my workday routines. During breaks, I am able to be "impromptu" and am looking forward to that being a part of my retirement.
Got a message from Orderly Meds. I am Red Rock pharmacy customer, so it looks like it's going to be business as usual for me getting the tirzepatide. They are adding glycine to the formula (which helps prevent muscle loss) and it seems I will be good to go. Whew!
I caught up on sleep! I went to bed shortly before midnight and was able to doze in and out from 6 AM to just past 9! Delightful! I feel rested.
It is a beautiful autumn day here. It will be a bit too warm for my liking (upper 70s). I am ready for cool and crisp. I do enjoy seasonal weather, so the coming of California "cold" is welcomed. If I lived in Wisconsin or Minnesota, I might feel different about winter weather! But winter temps in the 40s and 50s are perfect. Sweaters and light jackets!
Must get on with my day.... happy weekend!

The tile guy is still here. He's having trouble matching the grout color. This is the point in the process where I just agree to anything if it means he'll leave my house! He's a super nice guy, but I hate having people working here, looking into and tapping on my window which makes me jump to get my attention, using the bathroom (the toilet looks like a hazmat situation - his son has... issues). I've had enough. Basically Sunday is the only day he's not here and he's been here every other day since I came home on the 18th.
And it's still blazing hot, which is contributing to my crankiness.
Since I'm in crank mode, Kirby is driving me nuts. I know neutering doesn't markedly change behavior, but if it could just subtly knock the edges off I would be happy. To that end, I emailed the vet to ask for a quote (haven't heard back). We are not going to make it to 2 years. My neighbor asked for one from the same vet for spaying her dog and she said it was like $5000! We may be shopping around because that seems crazy. Maybe spays are more expensive than neuters? Don't know. Some of that I think is just "small town/limited options tax".
The Sedona art festival is going on this weekend. I'm meeting my friends there tomorrow, but I may go over for a sneak peek today. I also need a lightbulb type I don't have, so a stop at the hardware store is needed.
The garage door guy came yesterday to look at my door gaps. He's coming back Monday to replace the seals and tighten the side flanges to try and keep the critters out. I listed all the things that have gotten through the gaps: snakes, lizards, toads, scorpions, voles, bugs... Hopefully this helps!
My shot doesn't seem to be working well this week. Lots of carb and sweets cravings and I have indulged.
Anyway, I should go get in the shower. Take care!
Oh, I've had a few of those and it's an alarming feeling, isn't it!?!?!?!?!?
Once when I was a kid, I got up from one of those naps, got dressed, and started making my breakfast. My Mom asked me what I was doing, and I didn't believe her at first that it wasn't 7 in the morning, instead of 7 in the evening. I still remember that deep feeling of disorientation.

How about those naps where you fall asleep while the sun is still up and wake up in the dark like Rip Van Winkle and have no idea how many years have passed since you conked out?
Epic naps are wonderfully refreshing, especially when the end time is open. I've taken several that were cut short after dropping into a deep sleep. Those backfire as I'm then cranky as hell for an hour or so after.
I'm glad you could sleep and recoup. Good thing this is your last year...
