Liz, we are on Viking's Grand European Tour, Budapest to Amsterdam. It's a 15 day cruise. Really only 15, but they like to count the morning on the boat before you leave as a day.

I have a wonderful younger couple that stays with the dogs. They have one of my Airedale pups and also a Scottish Terrier. They stay at the house the entire time we are away. They are familiar with home kennel situations and do a great job!

I was just wondering this morning who is taking care of your dogs?

We gave up our low 2-door BMW sedan and replaced it with a BMW SUV last year. So much easier to get in and out of for ourselves and our friends.

Lucky you to be in a weight maintaining groove! I'm afraid to try going without the tirzepatide even though I am taking an extremely low dose. I suppose eventually I shound try it though.

119.2 - Unchanged since yesterday which is good because I ate fairly well last night.

Love the German date!!! Is your trip the Rhine Getaway? Very intrigued.

Two more days here - the time has gone by fast! Yesterday was a very strange day. First time in 15 years that it rained for the entire day. It was POURING at times. We were able to walk over to the resort two down where we had a dinner reservation and luckily were seated under a patio roof because it started up again during our meal. We stayed at the bar for an extra couple of after dinner drinks to wait for it to subside to sprinkles so we could walk back. At one point I had to use the ladies room and the hostess went with me with a big towel held over our heads to get to it through the rain LOL.

My DD and SIL are in the air on their way here. We pick them up at about noon. We have to finish packing up our stuff here in the room so they can move in for the week. We are renting a different room for our last 2 nights. We already have plans for lunch and dinner. Lunch at the restaurant run by the person who used to run the restaurant at the resort here until a couple of years ago and dinner at the restaurant ru by the person who ran the resort restaurant just prior to that. They have done well and have good food. The one here is not so great. A Netherlands company has bought up a large portion of the resort restaurants and bars over the last few years and the quality of the food and service is mediocre at all of them. So we go off campus.

Have I mentioned that we started watching Dept Q based on the recommendations here? Really enjoying it!

Have a sandwich Saturday!

I found the lack of connection after I left to be both disconcerting and freeing. And weird.

There is an oral one now: Rybelsus (semaglutide). Doesn't work great (I tried it). Some of the compounders were compounding both semaglutide annd tirzepatide and people didn't seem to think they worked very well, but maybe there will be one developed that does.

You can get Zepbound from Lilly Direct in vials (no pen) for self-pay:

I felt that way about Ireland - felt like home.
