Today is the one month mark prior to our departure! We leave on June 8 for Amsterdam!

119 - shot day. My 1 mg of tirzepatide twice a week works perfectly for me to keep my cravings away. DH says medication is not for him - it's the "easy" way but when that bothers me he says it isn't a criticism of me but just how he needs to do it. Weird and maybe true, maybe not (the criticism part). Regardless he is down over 20 pounds now and about at the weight when I met him. He wants to lose a bit more. I'm guessing his height is similar to Peps and though his weight is about 10 pounds less he does not look as fit as Peps. His arms and legs are muscular because he focuses on them at the gym but he doesn't do any core work. He has had some sciatica issues so he really ought to add core which he agrees with but it has never been in his routine. For most of his life he has lifted weights for his arms and done the elliptical for his legs and cardio and that's it. DH and I were discussing his workout routine this morning and he says he is waiting to add core work for when he is thinner.

Today is a mostly unstructured day so unlike DD I can wear whatever LOL. Justice/Moby walk, probably the beach, something for dinner (unplanned so far), then Moby gets picked up for his ride home. His parents are missing him like crazy but he is really settling in here a bit. Dogs are so adaptable especially if you treat them well. But I am sure he will be overjoyed to see his family! If Moby leaves early enough we may go to a pickleball competition here between local pros. Our pro just won the bronze metal in the Pickleball US Open.

Have a thirsty Thursday!

I forgot that plus of not having to dress for work! For years I had suits and blouses that I literally rotated through. Then when we went business casual it was black or grey pants or skirts with similar toned cardigans and the gauntlet of blouses carried forward. Felt like a uniform! Of course then I had to have the proper shoes and jewelry. Essentially all of that clothing was donated long ago. Once retired you can put on what suits your mood, your activities of the day, and the weather.

Maybe that's why I have so many clothes!!! I probably spend close to the same amount of money on clothing as when I worked but it is all fun stuff now. And since I do a lot of consignment stuff it isn't super expensive. I'm waiting for a Poshmark straw bag this week.

The dreaded laundry. Things that are already accumulating while I arm doing them annoy me: laundry, dishes and dirt/dust in the house. Even when you are done for the day there is already more to done the next time!

Greetings all

Another great day here. Love it. The house got cleaned. Love that too. Then DH got on this kick that some of my passwords were somehow at risk so he insisted I go though all this on line stuff and delete old stuff and change to passcodes for other things. Oh well. Got it done. Seems absurd to me. Some old stuff had to do with my mom's investments which no longer exist. After that I went to the gym and did walking. Dare I say it is getting a bit easier? But I have been at this over a year.

So yeah Peps don't overdo the exercise. No use risking the eye. I am coming up on one month so will see the doctor and get some new glasses. But you were so right - piece of cake.

And Peps that puppy is killer cool. Really grabs you. More dog show kick azz.

Liz you sure get a lot done. Enjoy a goof off day.

Paula hope Door County is as fun as always. Congrats to your DH. 35 years at one company is a lot and not common anymore. Hope he is not one of those guys who can't figure out what to do in retirement. There is so much fun stuff to do! (peps and dd take note).

So we are watching that new Apple series about Good Neighbors or something like that. Pretty good.

Skipped the studio today but did a grocery run. Got a quiche for dinner. it's made at a local restaurant. Love me some quiche.

Not much else. Except there is always laundry....
