Busy day today! I get my hair cut and colored at 10:30, will try and eat some lunch (couldn't get all of my breakfast down) and then going to a friend's pool to hang out in this humid weather. DS2 will arrive this afternoon and I will make us ahi tuna sushi bowls for dinner. He needs to pick up some of his stuff here for his new apartment so it will be a short trip for him!

When do you notice the meds peaking after injection? I'm thinking it's day 2 or 3 for me. Food just sounds yucky to me right now. I will try to be diligent in getting my protein in. Friend wants to do ****tails by the pool but I will pass on those!

Glad that you stopped in to say hi Ann!

I'll quickly try to catch y'all up on my stuff.

My weight's doing fine. I'm now hovering between 125-128. The rather unexpected additional weight loss (coinciding with selling DF's home, us moving back to my home, working on my home, looking for a single-floor new home for us, and all the physical exertions and emotional impacts of those transitions) has finally stabilized. I've weighed in this range for the last 6 weeks. I have to admit that I don't hate how I look at this weight. Admittedly, I still need more pants that fit.

I continue to make progress on my home inspection punch list--2 new dishwashers installed, trash compactor repaired for $100 (didn't have to spend $1800 for a new one), electrician's fixing some minor GFCI issues, found someone who knows how to repair a glass door that doesn't open (locking mechanism is frozen), etc. I'm glad I have a few months to finish things up. Declutterring is going well and continues.

I haven'****ched much of the Olympics yet, but that will change soon. Mostly I'm awed by how beautiful the world's best athletes are!

This morning I have a hair appointment and a few errands, then later we'll be clearing out all the kitchen stuff I need to get rid of. There are so many duplications when you're combining two big homes. Happily, there are post-college grandchildren and nieces now establishing their own homes who look forward to receiving some of this stuff.

That's all I've got now, unless you want to hear me opine about political goings-on, but I know you don't.

Shoot! I just lost my post because I hit one of the ads on the page by mistake.

Weight 122.6. Yesterday it rained most of the day so I didn't do much other than get my car inspected, finish a book, and finally take Justice for a long walk by the water in late afternoon.

Today the Purchase and Sale contract signing and escrow delivery deadline is at noon. Haven't heard anything since their attorney contacted mine early Friday saying that her clients wanted it done as they were nervous. Not that nervous apparently. Now I am worried. I really don't want to have to start showing the place again. Maybe we should have stayed at DH's home until it was signed.

I have multiple appointments today which I hate though I used to plan them this way when I was young and working. After that I am out to dinner with 2 SILs and 2 nieces. DH is going to his house with Justice for work around his house and a beach walk with Justice. He wants to try hitting golf balls which he hasn't been able to do for over 2 weeks after straining something in his leg. He usually plays 3 times a week this time of year so is really missing it.

Time to press submit before I mess up and press the wrong place on the screen again. Have a tactual Tuesday!

Greetings all

Sunny and nice today. There was a layer of fog over Trinidad bay this afternoon but it was not all that deep so sea stacks and trees were sticking up though it. Post card look.

Stopped in the studio today and they are getting right on the painting. Time for me to disappear to avoid being volunteered. Ladders are for young people. I picked up new items and worked on a few more. Then off to the gallery for delivery. One thing I took to the gallery was a package that the post office returned to us. It had our gallery as a return address though it was slightly altered. Addressed to someone in Ohio. No one at the gallery responded as to who sent it. We assumed it was an item of art sold at our gallery. We opened it. It was a bunch of little tins of hashish! LOL someone thought they could send this to themselves and used our return address. Not sure why it was returned. It had a ton of wrappings no doubt to deter drug dogs. We think it's funny.

Congrats Liz on being at goal. You rock. Please share your maintenance secrets as they evolve. (don't eat so much - ok we got that one).

Stopped in at the hippie grocery and bought stuff at the deli for dinner and beyond. It was pretty much all protein intense healthy items except one small thing of potato salad.

Well crap I figured out my retirement account is distributing faster than I thought I had instructed. Got that corrected but for this year I will have twice as much as desired. Boo Hoo. Taxes.

Hey Paula I vote for nap.

Today I went to CVS, which you all know I hate, to get coffee. They are the only place that reliably has what I want. For the first time in a long time I did not need to take a shopping cart as a balance aid. Felt fine without it. An NSV for this old lady.

We started a new series on Apple called "Pa*****o". I wasn't sure what to expect but it's a very good drama about a Korean family earlier in the century. Whew, not a good time to be female.

Cheers. Diane S

Nothing to report really...

Hot, cloudy, and very humid today so no interest in being outside. My dad and his wife headed north to a doctor's appointment. The lawn guys are here mowing away. I haven't weighed the last two days. It's getting depressing.

Hope you all are well!
