Good morning Lricks0522!

I'm so sorry, I'm just now seeing your questions. I am a member of Cornerstone Care Clinic. It's a clinic inside a local pharmacy. A lot of locals use them as a back up to their regular doctor's office. For things like, colds, flu, physicals, etc. They also do a "weight loss" type program. Through them, I pay $70 every 3 months for membership (includes a lot of perks), $45 weekly for my GLP-1 shot and a B12 shot.

If I were to use my insurance, it would cost me $800-$1000, monthly just for the glp-1.

Hi! So glad this is Friday and the roofing job is done so back to peace and quiet. I need to make cookies for all the neighbors to thank them for putting up with all of that. Hubs is slightly more peoply than me so the only stress for him was just making sure the job got done right with minimal damage. The crane driver cracked the city's sidewalk then moved a few feet off the sidewalk and into our grass with no support and sunk a giant footprint into the sod. That's going to be an unpleasant job to repair. Today I'm just decompressing from the week and getting things ready for the post-op time next week. Hoping to diy some small frozen gel packs and lay out liquid-y meals (straw friendly) besides protein shakes. The OR nurse suggested only cold liquids for the first few days.

QOTD: Haven't been to any festivals, it wouldn't be fun to go alone and Hubby wouldn't go. Around here there is always a Civil War battle reenactment around Memorial Day...that would be fun. It would also be neat to go to the Highland Games but the Ren Fair hasn't ever interested me. Pretty much everything else is just an eating or drinking promotion and that's no fun now in addition to being just too peoply for me. I do go to the arts/crafts/holiday events but don't think those count as festivals. Very good question!

B: 2 cups coffee with a tablespoon of SF Nutpods creamer in each.

L: not hungry

Snack: a protein/collagen shake around 3 probably

Evening: 2 cups chicken bone broth and 10 shrimp. Maybe some nonfat Greek Yogurt to boost the protein totals.

Hope everyone has a great weekend whether travelling or working at home.

I like ethnic festivals and trying their different foods. They will have dancers, singers, and other shows. We have them all summer, Africa American, Greek, Irish and Italian festivals. In the fall there are apple festivals and some various art festivals and of course Octoberfest. I used to watch the paper for festivals and usually attended one every weekend.

I cannot do all that walking now but have great memories.

Jen, hope the bad weather stays away from you. Stay safe.

Good Friday morning gang. Ah another work week almost in the books. We had a nice rain last night and tomorrow afternoon we are under a first alert weather warning. High winds, lots of rain, and even a potential for a tornado. I know we need the rain, but the other stuff can stay away. I'll have to get things done quick in the morning before the weather turns.

Not much going on at work today so hopefully its quiet and I can finish up a few things.

QOTD: Do you like going to festivals and what kind? Late Summer early Fall there are all sorts of festivals going on. I like going to Renaissance festivals which I happen to have a friend from HS who participates in one here in CT. She's said anytime I want to go let her and she'll get us tickets. This year we are going to the Garlic Festival again in Mystic and in October the Scottish Festival.

B: coffee and breakfast wrap

L: buffalo chicken salad wrap

D: baked fish and steamed kale

Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!!

Wilco the farm coop here is having their case sale tomorrow. I intend to buy 50lbs of canning tomatoes, I'm debating on the 25lbs of pickling cukes. I'm going to get there when they open as they sell fast. My weekend is going to be canning tomatoes.

The rains are coming, or so the weather guessers say. Between Monday & Tuesday we are supposed to get almost an inch of rain. We definitely need it.

Football starts for real this weekend. Ducks on Saturday and Seahawks on Sunday, I can hardly wait.

I made the mistake of getting milk other than Fairlife and it was awful. Partly my fault for not reading well enough it was lactose free but vanilla flavored. I'll never make that mistake again.

Work was really good yesterday, I had help from one of the guys and I got the job done! Now I know what I'm doing and have learned much more about the program we are using. There is a lot you can do with it, but it's not very intuitive. There are a lot of tricks to it. I'm just happy to be learning it.

Have a great day everyone!
