I may have to subscribe to Apple. There are a lot of good shows on there. We had given up some subscriptions where DH and I were doubled up so maybe it is time to add a new one.

I hope you didn't get caught in the rain too much. I checked the forecast at one point and it wasn't actively raining but the forecast looked ominous.

Justice still has his dewclaws. They are really floppy ones so kind of jaunty when he walks LOL. The new vet here asked if I wanted them removed because she said sometimes they can causes problems with the nails but said his were pretty accessible so it probably wasn't that important to do. So I left them. He is almost 11 after all and might as well continue to keep them.

Thanks for stopping in! Always great to hear from the Tribe! I have stayed on tirzepatide for 16 months past when I hit goal to keep that food noise away. I only take 2 mg a week split into 2 doses and it works fantastic for me. DH just lost 40 pounds via WW and as you just saw in the post above he is struggling mightily with the cravings. He hates taking drugs for anything but boy is in in a battle with his appetitites.

Greetings all

It was raining this morning but the sun is out now. If I laze about long enough the weather improves. Air drying hair before I go out and about. The kiln opens and I will have new things to run up to the gallery. Just completed a business license form for the gallery and they wanted this weird form completed about industrial waste water. Jeez we are just a little retail store.

Safari Liz. You should do it. I would if I felt up to it. Agreed that eco tourism is good for animals - supports keeping them safe. Makes me think to ask DH about bucket list plans. He has mentioned Catalina island at times. FISH Lol.

Hellooooo Ocean Diane! Good to hear from you. Glad you have a holiday trip planned. Good on you for doing seasonal decorating. We are the neighborhood Scrooges as we don't do it but others do and we sure benefit. Wish I had advice on fit bit but I have grown unhappy with them - can't read the tiny numbers.

So peps enjoy the Mouse House. I used to know a guy who grew up in Anaheim and he had worked at Disney several times. He called it "working for the Rat". I think he played the trumpet in the toy soldier parade. He said all the workers tried to have sex in their Disney costumes. Do Mr. Toad and report back.

DD glad you survived the weekend. Glad to hear your dad had a fun time. He needed the break. Your presence was therapeutic in many ways. Enjoy your free day.

CC years ago I got a pseudomonas infection after one of my many hand surgeries. Nasty bug. I had an allergic reaction to an oral antibiotic and had to get a different one with benadryl or else go to hospital. Glad your dad is getting the iv stuff and that Claudia will keep him at it. Sorry to hear about the broken pump. hope it does not mean a third porta potty.

I got a dinner entree from the hippie deli - bbq pork and potatoes and corn. Looked good. We will find out. Meanwhile I wish I could just live on pizza.

We started watching Down Cemetery Road on Apple. It is good - a mystery thriller which so far has nothing to do with cemeteries.

The bra ads continue. They all reference senior saggy boobs. So I am indeed offended.

Everybody who goes on Safari seems to rave about it. If this is something you want to do, I would definitely put it on the bucket list, and soon. (2027?) Although it is luxury, it involves long flights to get there, and some physical stamina is required, bouncing around in jeeps, time changes, getting up early if you actually want to see animals... And I think these type of trips actually protect animals. If there is profitable sfaris that DON'T involve shooting animals, that adds incentive to not hunt them. One our friends went on, that sounded luxury, donates to animal protection organizations, and also gave people on the tour the opportunity to bring school supplies, and visit a school.

CC it sounds like Claudia has done her homework, but I get the pull to Mayo. I'm glad he is staying in the hospital, even though this is probably not what he wants at all.

Thank you all so much for your kind words and support about caring for my parents. It helps a lot!

Today started with our regular coffee trip. We were enjoying a chat with a very nice couple at the table next to us, when my BIL and SIL walkd in. They were thrift store shopping, and saw us in the coffee shop on their way to St. Vinny's. That was a nice surprise, and we chatted for a bit.

Home now, where I'm not going to do much, except read the paper, and a few simple chores like unloading the dishwasher. This weekend we are going to a graveside service for our friend's Dad. They are Jewish, and my understanding is the family gathers on the aniiversary of their loved ones death yearly, for, I think, 5 years. We have attended every year. Sometimes it has been bitterly cold, other times, not so frigid. One year an eagle circled overhead while the cantor sang. We also have tickets for a jazz concert at a club in Minneapolis. Other opportunities will probably present themselves as the week goes on. Right now I am very happy to have an unscheduled day.
