I take that amount 2 times a week. You really don't need much to maintain - Lucky you!

Liz, those hiking pictures were stunning. Definitely makes me want to put Sedona on the must travel to list!
121.5 day. Up, down, up down but all in a good range! I can tell the 1 mg dose of Tirzepitide is working. Less food noise, more meh responses to food, smaller portions (but they are never very big anyway).
I think every hanging thing on our walls is now off and either packed or donated. DH is already missing the big clock in the living room even though his phone is right beside him and can tell him the time!
I got done of my Bible studying done but will have more to do tomorrow.
Hello Fresh shrimp Bahn Mi tacos for dinner. I don't think I will get those again.
70's would be heavenly! At least the Fall colors are beautiful here! We had a rainy day today but I guess it is better than snow. DH saw reports that it may be coming to northern WI soon!
Good for you for getting things checked off your list! Always a good feeling!
Interesting that you are noticing a difference with Bug gone. I like your classroom analogy!
Sorry to hear about your Dad's decline. It is hard to watch. While my Dad didn't pee just anywhere, he did refuse showers. It was frustrating. He like to flirt with the staff which was so not him before dementia.
Beautiful weather for you! I am really enjoying the Arizona weather though 50 degrees in the morning is a *****illy for me.

Good thing you were "saved" by the roofers. Should be really cool to see paintings depicting your neighborhood views tomorrow night though!

I'm sorry but I had to chuckle at your Dad whipping it out and peeing. Not really unusual in Memory Care so you are right - they just need to deal with it. A woman I knew was so embarrassed when she heard that her Dad kept walking around naked. But the worst was that not only did he ask the women there for sex but he asked his daughter as well. After she processed that for a few days it became a funny story. Sometimes you just have to chuckle.
Interesting point about Buzz. My DS was an active kid so if there was a disruptive kid in his room he entered into the fray whole hog. He had one year when I had once a week updates from the principal of his school. They had chosen to put all the difficult (and active) kids in the same classroom with a teacher known for keeping control. But her mother was dying that year and she was just overwhelmed. A really difficult year for all (including the teacher). The following years in calm classrooms DS was quite well behaved.

Greetings all
More sun here and I think it might be 70 degrees! Warm in my studio which has south windows. Scrabble canceled so I could not rationalize skipping the gym. So I went and walked. Funny how if I set the speed higher I finish sooner. After that I did a little studio work. We are supposed to have a board meeting tomorrow but it is cancelled. Yay.
Liz what a fun event you guys did for the pleine air festival. How cool. Bet there is some super good stuff there. I am amazed by your hiking distance! Way to go.
CC glad the roofers rescued you from cooking prep. Fine for awhile but hours? Hope the repairs all work out. Great pic of you guys on FB. Balloon rides! Bet I would get air sick.
Peps sounds like your dad is indeed declining. Sorry to hear it. But yeah on the whiney director - have they not ever had an elderly person pee inapproriately?
Well Paula nothing like a long distance move to declutter. GL with the rest of it.
Not much else.

Hi all!
I have spent the last several hours helping my neighbor's son prep cook for the plein air painting event that is at her house tomorrow. I was saved by the bell when the roofers called to ask if they could come by to see the roof stuff they will fix. So I was able to skedaddle...
It's a week-long festival and I was so glad Liz and Mike had fun at the first event! It was really wonderful to see them both. I bought a painting and the painter was a great old curmudgeon grousing over having to hold his phone up to illuminate his painting because he didn't bring a light. Ha! Lots of talented painters there.
Paula, sounds like you guys are doing a great hob on the packing front. It's not easy packing up a lifetime, but the volume and price to move everything makes deciding what to pitch/sell easier!
Peps, while I'm so sorry you have to watch your dad decline, I think it's really great to keep a sense of humor as you have. And you're right, for 10k a month, he can pee wherever he wants! Or they can figure out a way to get him to go in appropriate places.
I should probably go tackle one or two things from my list o' tasks. It has shrunk a little, but they aren't going to do themselves!
