Weight 118.8. Up a bit which is good (since I am still below my desirable range). I ate a pretty healthy portion at lunch and dinner yesterday. I am dropping my tirzepatide dose from 5 to 2.5 today. We shall see how that goes over the next week or so.

Nine days to DD's wedding. My eldest DD (stepdaughter with late husband) arrived last night around 11:30 from NJ. She will be here through the wedding, and has a house closing nearby to go through too as she is selling her deceased aunt's home.

Soon to be married DD called last night after picking up her wedding dress. She is very happy with the alterations whi*****luded adding a bustle. I was given instructions about decorating on the wedding day and what to do about food for the makeup/hair session. Then she worried a bit about the fact that they don't have the wedding ring yet (it was due yesterday). Pre-wedding jitters!

Eldest DD is up and chatting. Have a thrifty Thursday!

10 am update: Photo sorting 100% done!!! I finished sorting through deceased daughter's personal pictures this morning. So glad to be done.

Congrats on continuing to drop weight. You amaze me with both your cooking skills and scrapbooking. I just don't have the desire or patience for either.

I agree Liz, life events are happening all around us and to us. I think that as a group we are also reflective about our journeys, how we got here, where we're going next, and where we hope to end up. And in all of that, there is so much collective wisdom. What a blessing.

Just like yesterday, today was decent. My big non work outing was to the doctor's office. I had 5(!) vials of blood drawn for my upcoming visit with the WLS clinic. I am blessed with very good veins, and blood draws are no big deal for me. But as I was sitting there (it took a few minutes) I started to think, am I light headed? I'm feeling light headed! No, no you're not, you're being silly. I did not faint, so all is well.

Tonight's supper was Wendy's chili which I picked up on the way home. It works when neither of us seem to be too interested in cooking.

We talked to DD last night, and she's lost 40 pounds so far. I think she started the last week of May. I am so very happy for her! DH has 2 more Wegovy shots left, then he is moving to Zepbound, which currently resides in our fridge.

163.4, another smidge down!

Made Mom?s Amazon returns to Kohl?s today and then we shopped there for her. I told her it was my pay back for making her go to the Mall with me during my teenage years! Shopping with her is pretty painful (indecisive, finds something then decides she doesn?t like it, finds something then decides she doesn?t like the laundry instructions), we finally ended up with 2 new tops and it will be my brother?s problem if she decides in the next few days she doesn?t want them after all! I know I?m complaining but I wouldn?t trade this time with her for anything!

Great dinner of grilled red pepper, onion and zucchini with Tuscan seasoning and salmon with a cherry preserve, ginger and brown mustard glaze! Delish!

Tomorrow will be a busy day bringing Mom back home. It is a 3 hour drive one way and I?m going to pretty much drop her off and get back in the car and come home.

Got all of my pages in the scrapbooks! The only thing left to do is make a Table of Contents page to start each album (many of them already have it done) and to make a little metal tag for the outside of the album which identifies the date range of the pictures inside. Hard to believe that I have been doing this since my first one was born (1998) and very soon I will be all done. Looking forward to selling all of my supplies. If I get a hankering to do it again, I?ll go the digital route!

Greetings all

quick iPad check in from the gallery. It's a great fall day and there have been quite a few visitors. I already messes up a sale bit minor.

so dinner out tonight at the Chinese buffet. Friends want to celebrate our birthdays so that's nice. There is a dollar store next door so I will stop in for wrapping supplies needed at the gallery.

yep liz I have often thought about how our little group represents the patterns of life. So much is shared here and it's good. Hope justice gets the walk of his dreams. My phone alerted me to the fact that dh took poppy on a walk. It tracks her steps and seems to have set a step goal for her. Also gives a map of where they went. This is indeed modern America where we need dog step info in addition to that provided by dh Apple Watch.

cc have an uneventful flight. Hope there are no surprises at home.

more tomorrow when I have a keyboard
