116.4 - up a bit but must keep eating a little more. Always so weird to say that. Today is DH's official weigh-in day and he is hoping for his goal of 180. He is getting very snacky though lately - the cravings are kicking in. I suggest Glp-1 meds for that which is what saves me, but he says "he is doing it his way". Still feels like a criticism of me using the meds but he says not.
Yesterday was another beautiful beach day, followed by an evening of stuffed quahogs, grilled chicken, salad, and rice. Nice to eat home once in a while. We capped the evening with another fire in the pit. The backyard is really inviting these days.
DSD will leave late this afternoon to stay at a friend's home tonight before continuing on to NJ tomorrow. It has been a nice visit! I will be washing sheets, towels, etc. while she works today in preparation for the 2 SILs arriving this evening. DH has planned the itinerary for them as always. I may suggest some alternatives like going to the place with music in the afternoons tomorrow.
Have a fluctuating Friday!

I haven't made Mexican lately - note to self. I did comment to DH that I miss the great New Mexican place we had been going to in Florida. Around this part of Cape Cod most of the restaurants are seafood places - for good reason but a little Mexican would be good.

There must be a farmer's market near here - I should definitely seek it out.
Isn't it amazing how dogs can bounce back after losing a tooth (or even multiple teeth)? The lure of food!

I love that your DH and you seek out musical entertainment. We aren't as good at that.
And you are both truly saints in supporting BFF, but it does sound like she needs to have a bed or sleep sofa in her son's new condo.
I hope your weather improves soon!

Yum! Love sugar snap peas. I'm going to get fresh veggies at the Farmer's Market on Saturday!

Yep we posted at the same time. Great minds think alike. And yeah the food I crave most is Mexican. Just stopped at the farmers market for some tomatoes and sugar snaps. ds

I do the same! If I hold my hand in front of his mouth after Justice takes it in, he rushes to swallow it so I won't change my mind LOL.

We must have posting about the same time because your post wasn't there when I started mine. Good gracious! That glass artist and her demands! Crazy!
I find cheese to be the best medium for dispensing dog pills. American cheese works the best. I simply make a ball of cheese with the pill inside the middle. The dogs love cheese so they gulp it down without even realizing they are getting bamboozeld!

No weight today. I was up and at em before 5:00 this morning and didn't even think about the scale until I hopped in the shower (after breakfast).
Lead Bible Study this morning and have been doing Facebook Market place since I got home, meeting with people that purchased something, answering messages regarding sales and posting more crap to sell! I'm actually amazed at how quickly the stuff sells (I have it priced to sell). It is probably worth the time and effort it takes instead of donating or tossing which is what I usually do!
We had our crab legs last night. Quite good. I think I'll make some sort of Mexican bowl tonight. I should be speaking fluent Spanish with as much Mexican as I consume. If only it worked that way! Besides seafood, it is what tastes the best to me!
DSD and hubby will be here for the weekend. I think I might have mentioned that already though!
So glad you got the fence up for Justice. I bet he loves being a free range dog now. Your new go to restaurant sounds wonderful and she seems like she has a good business model! You and DH really do have a revolving door with guests. We only get immediate family here and not very often at that. Do eat more! Today is a hungry day for me and I feel like I'm eating everything in sight including the not so healthy stuff.
DD, you are a VERY generous host. Allowing a friend to stay 4 weeks is way more than I would offer. My own kids would be lucky to be able to stay that long! I hope your BFF can figure out more permanent housing while she helps take care of her son and grandkids. You have a very big heart!

Greetings all
More overcast sky today but I bet the sun pops out soon. I am enjoying tv control and my news programs while DH is out walking the dogs. Tesla had a tooth pulled at the dental thing Tuesday but she seems chipper now and is happy to eat her home cooked chicken and rice. I have had to get her pills down her by hand as she managed to pick the pill out from a bit of liver sausage and from the chicken rice dinner. Every thing eaten except the dreaded pill.
Today's plans include washing hair, walking at the gym and some studio time. The aftermath of the glass studio restructuring continues with a zillion texts from this one obstreperous person. Now she wants us to supply her with financial data so she can try to go set up her own glass class business. Well duh. She knows how much we charged, how much the glass costs and can figure out what it costs to rent a place. This person feels so entitled that she thinks it is our duty to do a business plan for her. This person had no ownership in our studio and was just a monthly member like a health club. So I sit here shaking my head. Our director is more patient than I would be. Open teapot; insert tempest.
DD I hope you can work out some boundaries with your BFF so that she is not planing to stay with you long term. Her own family obviously has issues and needs help but you worked long and hard for a peaceful retirement which does not included being a B and B. But I have no doubt you will work it out gracefully. And yay you for enjoying all the music and entertainment venues. There is so much art and music out there in almost any city and kudos for finding it.
Liz I can just imagine Justice enjoying his yard. His kingdom. Glad you found a home restaurant that you can enjoy over and over. Nice.
Farmers market today so I may go seek vegetables. DH has become like a little kid and won't eat many of them. Oh well, more for me!
