117.4 - unchanged from yesterday

Yesterday we got fully unpacked, shopped, and did laundry. Afterwards I went to yoga and had my face lasered. We were planning on staying in last night assuming my face would be all red but it wasn't at all. It felt like I had a mild sunburn for a while then normal. The sunspots are a bit darker than usual which is what is supposed to happen at first so I just put makeup on and we went out to happy hour at the clubhouse, then to dinner at a cute little place downtown with live music. The laser treatment was weird. Hot, snappy feeling but no where near as uncomfortable as getting a tattoo. I will have 2 more treatments over the next couple of months - I hope they are not any more uncomfortable than this one. On Monday I am getting filler around my mouth. Very curious to see how that is going to look. What we do for vanity!

Not sure what we will do today other than a Justice walk. Normally we would go to the beach but I am supposed to stay out of the sun. I suppose I could go if I stay under an umbrella and slather on sunscreen. Tonight I am making my light lasagne for dinner.

Have a super Saturday!

What we do for vanity, indeed! Why not, though, right? I support self improvement on most fronts! I will be curious to know what you think about the fillers in the mouth area. When I did my lips, the little tiny micro wrinkles vanished! The doc got a big thrill out of that. Cracked me up! I wanted fuller lips. He was so excited that the filler plumped up the surrounding tissue.

Great session with the NUT. Most of it centered around me understanding that my intentions and behaviors don't always align. It was an uplifting session.

I am wiped out today. Lucky had a seizure last night at 2:20 AM. The Grand Mal lasted over 5 minutes, almost 10 minutes. Then he continued having conscious seizures for the next hour while pacing the bedroom. I was grateful when around 3:30 he settled and stopped panting and pacing. He is fine and back to his normal self. I was not thrilled when the alarm went off at 5:45. I think I will take to my bed this afternoon for a well deserved nap!

It is gray, cool and drizzly. Perfect napping weather. So, off to my bed I shall trundle!

A Sleepy Saturday for me!

Must have been the night for ailing dogs! Bella woke up screaming right around the 3:00 mark as well. I bolted upright in bed to find her just as surprised as I was! She must have been dreaming about something horrible! The only other time I heard a dog scream was at the emergency vet and poor dog was in so much pain! Much different sound than a whimper or whine.

Hope lucky is doing better today and hope you got a nap in!

So sorry for both Lucky and you. Tough night. Hopefully last night was better.

Your NUT sounds a bit like a therapist in addition to a nutritionist. Good combination!

I may have some filler in my mouth - we did talk about it and I said maybe as long as my lips don't look substantially different. I have never had a really full mouth but they recommended it for those little lines and assured me that they don't do the duck lip look LOL.

Greetings all

I woke up to pouring rain which made me go back to sleep. The rain has stopped but it is overcast and I think more storms are on the way. No power loss.

Our team played early so we watched it delayed. I was not going to start a football game at 9 am. Fortunately our team won so the State of Nebraska will not have to go into mourning. Studio buddy wanted to come over to watch other football later this afternoon but I told a white lie and said I woke up with a scratchy throat so not today. Just did not feel like having the drama.

We had pizza leftover from DH romeo lunch yesterday and there is more for tonight. It is a plain cheese one which is fine with me. I don't like pepperoni any more and DH seems to hate all other toppings. OH well.

Peps I think I am going to try to make a Runza casserole tomorrow. All the beef, cabbage and onions without the bread casing. Maybe just served on a hamburger bun or baked with frozen bread dough on top. Sounds like a good cold weather treat.

Liz glad the face treatment went ok. My brother has had his face sanded a couple of times but I don't think it did all that much. Filler sounds like a good idea though after all these years hard to imagine wanting any part of myself to be plumper. Over 30 years ago I had my thighs lipo suctioned out and have never regretted it.

Yeah you are right Peps, we can all have a better physical self with effort. I will never be an athlete but can be fitter. And trimmer.

Meanwhile making my shopping list for Halloween. I decided to forgo the veggie tray as it ended up not being eaten. Instead I will get baby carrots and cherry tomatoes. Maybe grapes. No one ate the pile of raw broccoli last year.

We watch a tv show called the Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy. Great show. Last episode he went to Korea to check out the K-pop scene. So much of life there is about cell phones and creating content. One popular thing is that people subscribe to watch another person eat interesting meals. Big meals with all kinds of fancy stuff. Weirdest thing I have ever heard of. Who would want to jus****ch someone else eat? Just one person eating- not a dinner party.

Tis the season for casseroles! Tonight I made tater tot hot dish and tomorrow it will be sloppy Joes!

I'm a little surprised the veggies don't go over well, especially in CA. Seems the broccoli is the first to go here and I always have carrots left!

Watching someone else eat sounds like a unique form of torture to me.

For some reason though people say they want veggies they never seem to eat that stuff at parties. I end up having to figure out how to use it later.

122.5, up a smidge.

Spent the whole day packing up the majority of my kitchen. Man I have a lot of stuff. I highly doubt my new kitchen is going to hold it all! Yikes! Will need to continue tomorrow!

We have been watching a cute show called Nobody Wants This on Netflix. The second season just started so we are back to binge watching it!

Liz, I did fillers once. Never again! It was so painful! Not the injections themselves since they numb you up but I needed to massage the area several times per day and that was super painful! Hope you have a better experience.

Ooh - I hope so too (better experience with filler)!

When we moved from one home to another here in Florida, DH came home with 3 boxes for packing the kitchen stuff. I laughed and told him to get 10 more. He thought I was crazy but we likely used most of them. And we probably don't have much more than the average kitchen.

Hi everyone! I haven't read the posts from the last few days, but I will go back and read them tonight. Just wanted to pop in and say hi! The two devices that I have OH password saved on didn't make the trip. Usually I have at least one of them with me, but I forgot to pack the Kindle. It felt weird not being up to date on all that is happening. Reading and posting here are now a part of me.

We had a great trip and the weather was nice, and I even got some pool time in, which since I'm the only one who likes to swim in the foursome, doesn't always happen. But folks are getting older, and resting in lounge chairs possibly seemed more appealing than before. : )

Everything in the house looks fine, so back to real life I guess!
