PAV could star in the Wonka movie! Wonka movie was good - fun with interesting special effects.
Came home to find water 💧bubbling up outside on the lawn somewhere along the line from the house to the meter. Plumbers come this morning.💵💵💵💵 Apparently it must have been leaking a while and suddenly finally cracked! Wondered why last month’s water bill was so high. Arghhhhh! We shut the water off last evening so daily needs are being handled with bottled water.
Yet another thing causing stress.😵💫 Son is taking hubby across town this morning to get a long awaited CAT scan. We have haircuts scheduled mid morning. And hopefully we can flush and shower by tonight.
The only bright spot is my cast comes off 🤞tomorrow. I HOPE.3 -
WONKA
What a day, Yooly. Hope your hair comes out beautifully! And hubby's CAT scan is good.2 -
Bad water pipe! 😡
Haircut and cast off both sound good! 💕1 -
Haircut good. Hubby’s CT scan normal 👍. Water main line repaired and functional - $1000 later 💵- with minimal lawn damage. There was flushing and showering!
Cast comes off tomorrow. I’m ready for my merry Christmas 🎄.
Only two more cookie deliveries to go. Hope PAV is moving that candy along….2 -
A day late, but yesterday we had to put down one of our two cats. He was my good boy. 13.5 years old, and up til last week I thought he was gonna live forever. Then he was acting off in Saturday, even more so Sunday. Moving wrong, feeling skinny to the touch, etc.
Vet visit Monday morning. Plum sized tumor in his spleen. Vet said less than a week probably. Brought him home, gave him the good pain meds. It was clear by Tuesday midday that he was inky getting worse. So we called the vet. Set a time for 4. My oldest daughter drove 1:45 home from Nashville to be here for it. We gave him lots of love and pets. Poor boy. He didn't even fight when the vet gave him the anesthetic shot, and he passed pretty quickly after the vet gave him the lethal injection. He was so dehydrated, and jaundiced under his fur.
We'd had him since he was 3 months old. My 18yo is crushed, she doesn't remember a time when we didn't have him and he was her shadow for like the last 4 years before she left to college in August. Slept in her bed with her, etc.
Our other cat has been wandering around the house, crying.
Goodbye Gizmo.6 -
Oh Nic
<hugs to all of you>0 -
So sorry, Nic. Hurts so much to lose a family member.1

Glad things came together today, Yooly. Looking forward to a picture of your healthy wrist tomorrow! Pale and thin as it will probably be.

I am so so sorry Nic. Losing one of your fur children hurts like nothing I can describe. I went through it earlier this year with my Austin. I still miss him. Hugs to you and your family.1

Today is my last day of work until January 2. Yay for holiday pay and PTO. Doing some traveling so I may not be around that much over that time period. If I don't get to say it later on, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.2

Right back at you, Athijade! Enjoy your holiday 2

What's a holey-day?🧐🤔0

You should do some "hands on" research, PAV!2

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Athijade! 🎄1

Nic - I'm sorry about your cat. I would have said something sooner, but I didn't come on here yesterday. Our old, sweet dog died yesterday morning. I was super sad all day, so I just shut down for a bit. It is hard to see these sweet animals leave us. Our Jake was special. He will be missed.
However, looking forward to being done with work today. I'm anxious to spend time with my family! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

What losses -especially at Christmas! Hope Nic and Slashni are sustained by happier memories of their fur babies.2

aw geez. Why can't they stay with us forever. My condolences, Slash

So excited about going to spend a few weeks with my older son, his wife and The Boy. Flight departs tomorrow at 9 p.m. Overexcited Me is also hosting dinner tomorrow. Not a big group - only 8 people, but one of those people is my younger sons girlfriend who I am meeting for the first time
Dinner wasn't really planned - and money wasn't available to do a lot of shopping until the last few days so everything is running last minute and I've been off on shopping trips and having dinners and "cocktails" with friends and family every night this past week.
Today Me - a different person than Overexcited Me - is sick from binging on dates and almonds last night trying to swallow down the panic creeping up. This morning is the first time I remember being healthy yet the idea of eating anything is abhorrent.
Not sure I'm ready for this holiday hosting thing - it has been a heck of a year and I've only started to maybe get my feet back under me and not having a "lie down" in the afternoon But it is happening and while I'm completely overwhelmed I also I feel so very blessed.
Wish me luck. Not sure if I'll be coming up for air before I wake up in Newfoundland on Wednesday morning - after a full night's sleep
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!
Hope your preparations are coming together and the holiday spirit wraps you up in lots of fun and love and friendship and all the good things.4 -
Sounds like a full/too full day to me.... but so very glad for you being able to enjoy it! I'm still trying to pack a Santa bag or fifteen and get a hair cut and deliver them! 🎁🎅🏻🎄
You should enjoy your time with everyone ... and update us when and if you can!!!!😘0 -
You’ll be fine Laurie. Nothing like jumping back into life with both feet. 👣
Get those goodies out of your house PAV. And have a happy Christmas.
And a very merry Christmas to all of you out there too! 🎄

About to start the first "BIG" delivery round.... I wonder if NORAD is tracking me?!1

About to start the first "BIG" delivery round.... I wonder if NORAD is tracking me?!
Funny thing - when we first got married hubby was stationed at NORAD inside Cheyenne mountain in Colorado Springs. At Christmas he did the Santa tracking thing. Hope your deliveries are as successful as Santa! 🎅🏻3 -
Oh MY! -- thankfully the pics will be gone in 7 days!
Pre-MFP starting point and my (hopefully ineffective) attempts these past few days to return there! NOT that I'm happy (at all) with some of these pictures... but it is what it is!
Beyond that, and In spite of being surrounded by Jaguars, Cheetahs, and Leopards (actually I believe my sweet P is a bona fide Tiger, not a mere leopard!) I made it out relatively un-mauled--except for slightly pinched cheeks when being told what a sweet boy I am!

Hope you're all having awesome holidays!1 -
**kittens** red tummy!😵💫1
-
Looks like Cougars to me Mr. PAV! Which cheeks were they pinching?
I’m sure you’ll get the red tummy under control soon. We all have some self work to do.0 -
Unknown on tummy. Suppose I can always suck it in a bit? Some clothing combinations better then others?
Currently (low 160s) space has some internal contents. So improvement is possible.
but even when quite empty (low 150s) skin still there. It would probably take getting to mid 140s for space to be fully empty and there are body reactions to that as I discovered. I.e. I would have to be even more careful if I were to ever try (again) to move to around 150 as opposed to around 155. And ensure that maintenance starts during a less exciting time as opposed to the end of lock down with travel and stress thrown in. 🤷♂️
But I don't think significant or fast down movements even to the 150s are in the cards in the near future.
I am limiting my goals to just coping with the ever changing world-views and "interesting" and fluid re-interpretation(s) of reality of someone near me.
And looking at my post loss weight records there is a close enough correlation between one going off the rails and the other joining in for the party.
So that's where the "big bucks" are for me.2 -
I'm sure the ladies would be happy to be complimented as young cougars even if they are technically qualified to hold higher positions on the feline scale! 😎1

The curse of the loose skin. Short of major surgery, mine is here to stay. I can rearrange it in some clothes better than others.
And then there’s the joy of losing height as I age. The body seems to rearrange itself over time regardless of weight.
But it’s all so much better than before.2
