212.9 - Why a tenth of a pound can make me happy mystifies me! Goes to show no matter how hard we try, old tapes seem to always play somewhere in the background waiting for the volume to be turned up!
Sending the van off to its new home took much longer than anticipated, but it is done and I'm happy to have it gone! The young couple was absolutely giddy to take it home. It made me happy to see them so excited and appreciative. Since they are young with limited funds, I offered to "indefinitely loan" them a couple of vari-kennel crates to keep in the van. That way the van will always be ready for dogs in an emergency (can you say California Wildfire?).
The wife asked me yesterday if I had been working out. I said yes. She said, "You can really tell." I said thanks and she went on to tell me how good my legs look in my jeans. I thought to myself, DANG a 32 year woman thinks I look good in jeans! Whoo hooo! LOL Cracks me up, too, because her parents are basically my age!
If you haven't seen this short reel by Jane Fonda, you all MUS****ch. I love the message and advice on aging.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DE2DiNrOyqP/
I realize I'm in that stage of life where happiness and contentment are much stronger than they were 20 years ago. I can only imagine it's just gonna keep getting better and better as I adjust to retirement and stress in my life wanes.
It's time for my check in with Orderly Meds, but I was unable to log in to the site last night. I will try again today. Hoping to get that 6 month supply of tirzepatide ordered!
To Liz's therapeutic I will add thriving!
Toodles
Absolutely you are worth it! Trizepatide: piles of money. Quality of Life: Priceless
LOL!

120.8 - yes the scale digits can definitely be unnerving as Peps pointed out. That 121 I saw a few days ago was the day after I had half a Reuben. I had another half yesterday, so maybe once I stop having them it will settle down to start with 119 again LOL.
OH seems slow again this morning though it could be my internet connection. I am typing in notepad to be safe.
SIL is already on her way as her plane left early from Providence at 5:50 am. Other relatives drove her to the airport hotel after dinner last night and helped with her bag. Hopefully the hotel staff helped sufficiently this morning. She has done really well with her treatment as she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 6 years ago. Her oncologist said it wasn't curable but it was treatable which has been true. But the side-effects of treatment have been tough at times and she looks much frailer these days.
Because I cancelled on my golf association play last week due to the cold I feel obligated to play this morning so I leave for that at 8. SIL arrives at 9 and DH will pick her up, manage her luggage, and possibly stop at the store for any necessities. I will be back by noon. We leave mid-day tomorrow to go to the other coast to visit friends and attend an 80th birthday party for one of them on Saturday. Hard to believe that our friend is turning 80 (or for that matter that I will be 70 in 2 months).
Have a therapeutic Thursday!

Sorry the lease negotiations are messed up - must be frustrating to have to do that stuff and have it be so screwy.

We watched the Yacht Rock documentary the other day. Actually Mike watched it and I listened while I was doing some cooking. Great music! I only started to hear the term Yacht Rock recently but we put it on Alexa to listen to a lot.
Your DH is clearly magic: Replacing a battery? Neither of mine would have had a clue what to do!

Perfect solution for the van and your dogs during your trip.
I can't imagine ice in California!
If I am hungry but short on time or meal fixing energy I just focus on protein. I figure the vitamins that I take religiously somewhat cover me for the missing vegetables (as long as I don't do that all the time).
BTW, I almost never watch the AP News videos - and when I do they never say more than the text.

I wonder why they don't just use fat percentages? I would think that is really the ultimate in assessing if one needs to lose? I would think there are machines good enough to measure that in a doctors office these days.

Lucky you! I swear, if we had a RH gallery here like that I'd go once a week just to visit my Italian sofa. For those who care, it's called "Matteo." That's Italian for Matthew, and he is so sexy!
