Yeah for DDs fiance having a truck. Invaluable! I imagine you feel a little lighter each time a load leaves your house.

We had an adventure yesterday. We got to the airport extra early because we thought there might be traffic snarls due to the holiday. San Diego looks like it goes all out for the 4th, which makes sense since it has so many navy and marine bases in the vicinity. Turns out we didn't need to get there early, because our plane had no pilot, and we had to wait for them to arrive on a different flight. So the delay was 4 hours. Delta removed some of the sting by bumping us up to 1st class. Since I've never traveled for work, or ever earned 1st class money, this was the only time I've been so upgraded. It was fun. :) I think getting upgraded to Comfort + or even the exit row is a big coup. It's going to be difficult when I return to steerage in a couple of weeks.

Looks like it rained and stormed quite a bit while we were gone. No worries about my flowers, they were well watered. It's fall temps today, partly cloudy, and will probably rain again over the next few days. We are sunburned (opps!) from San Diego and thankful for a stretch of sunny days.

My parents had unexpected company yesterday (which I like, because they need some novelty once in awhile), but now they are tired, and asked us not to come today. That actually works well for us. Now I can unpack and wash clothes, and get some groceries. We will go tomorrow instead.

The pig roast at friends was okay. I enjoyed talking to the friends, but didn't know anyone else and they (40 or so people) are all related, so were into catching up with themselves family reunion style. So we left around 7, home hours before fireworks. We had the gray and dreary day yesterday with rain this morning. Steamy now (RIP my hair) and more rain later.

Down a pound of my 2 pound bounce up this morning, but even though I've done okay weight loss-wise, I am no Liz! I still want to eat even on the new 10mg. And it's harder here in MI as it's one long foodfest from June through September. A little disheartening as I would love to not have an appetite on this, but I absolutely do. I'm not going to forget to eat, have to force a few bites, or eat under 1000 a day. It's still a struggle for me to not overeat. Hard not to compare my experience to others and be bummed it doesn't work as well for me!

Kirby did great with the fireworks! So proud of him.

I should probably take him for a walk. We walked a little over 2 miles yesterday and he brought home a tick. Blech.

Have a great day!

Interesting - I have similar aversions/likes. I usually crave sweets and really don't care about them now. Salty stuff often tastes too salty. I still like wine but not much of it. Mexican tastes great.

I eat a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, tuna and shrimp to get protein. I use Fairlife vanilla protein drink as my coffee creamer. I also have some bags of Quest protein chips for snacks but find that I really don't want them much.

Tres chic!

Greetings all

Happy 4th!. It's warm and sunny here which means there will be beaucoup beach fireworks. Getting out the CBD oil for poor Tesla who will be terrified. We had a few explosions last night which sounded close. It even makes me jumpy. Maybe I need a little dose too.

Yea small protein snacks Paula are a hard thing to come up with. Years ago I made some little balls with protein powder and peanut butter. Not so good. Maybe just almonds or other nuts. Jerky is good but not if meat is not high on the list. Wish I had more ideas.

Lizanne sounds like you have a super party planned. Bet you have good fireworks view. Enjoy.

Liz hope you can do something besides work on the house. Enjoy.

CC mouth dirt! My dogs get it too. I bet you get great fireworks over the water too.

We are going to watch the 4th on tv. Can't be bothered to go to a public display plus hate noise and must baby sit neurotic dogs. At least DH took both dogs for walks today so it tires them some. DH has this new electronic tracking collar for Poppy that is quite the gadget - locates her at all times and gives a map of where she has been. He takes her for a walk and then checks the map to see how accurate it is. Of course this is no longer needed as the fence is now Guantanamo safe but oh well.

Steak tonight. Did not make it last night due to DH bringing home turkey wrap.

Spent some studio time today. More banana slug figures. Easy to make. Place was pretty empty.
