    Good early morning, ladies. This time, I was off; I was exhausted. I didn't sleep well on the couch. Thursday, when I got my car back, I picked up Rose. On Wednesday, I was late for my doctor's appointment. I guess the Lyft person got lost. So the office lady would send me away since I was 20 minutes late. I explained to the lady that I needed to see her that day. I also explained that I paid for a Lyft. She said she would message the doctor and see if she would see me. I texted her as well. She agreed to see me, and she said they were behind anyway. So, I found out that I had a sinus infection, and that is why I had more headaches. So, I am on antibiotics. While waiting to get labs, I contacted the car place and noticed they had coupons online. So I put it in my Apple wallet. My A1C went from 7.4 to 5.3, so we were pleased. My cholesterol is down as well. I need it to go down to 70, but it was 200, plus now
    it is 101.
    My car was not ready, and I also discovered that the warrantee people said it wasn't covered because they do not cover regular maintenance. My husband called while he was in Wisconsin. So, I ended up paying $700 instead of 837. I could not pick up Rose from day camp, so I had to pay 90.00 for her.
    September 2 was my youngest birthday, so I texted him about the story of his birth and how he was in the NICU. (He loves those stories.) Wedding dressed, well tomorrow is our 28th wedding anniversary. My dress is in the garage, and my daughter Julia found it and played dress up. If I find it again, I will repurpose the material.

    Lanette—My mom is happy where she is, and the cost of her private room is 4150; it is a lot higher in
    Chicago. It is 8,000 plus for semi-private. She is happy and has friends, and I will be able to visit her and my friends.

    Colt Gray was a troubled young man. He killed four people and injured many. Colt carried an AR-15 in a musical instrument case. He threatened to do this the year before. There were multiple guns in his house—no metal detectors in the school. Changes have to be made in the schools to protect the innocent all over the US. Prayers to all of those families as they grieve.

    Allie - it looks like they will need to remove the polyps.

    Michelle, I love your blue dress. Does Oz stand for the Ozarks?

    Lisa, I love your pumpkin babies and your craft room. I almost had one, but the guys didn't finish it and left with my money.:( I will keep the dress I wore at my dad's funeral.

    Heather- I am so glad you finally got some Dim Sum—great job on your strides in walking.

    Barbara- Do you own a Bb and B? Line dancing sounds fun. My best friend does that. Yike on the oral surgery. Prayers and hugs are sent your way.

    Pip- have a wonderful trip! Be careful out there.

    I hope you all have a great weekend.
    XO,
    Mo

    Mo, you are doing great. The drop in numbers with your bloodwork is impressive.

    I’ve been following my plan fairly well this week. My legs are feeling the extra steps I’ve been taking.

    Barbie- by any chance, did you buy your lace at Gunne Sax outlet in SF? That is where the lace for my second dress came from
    :) That happened in 1979 so I don't remember the details.

    Had these pictures from Vince’s family. Been waiting for months for Vince to go thru them so I finally did. Then he did. Finally talked him into sending a lot of them to his cousin in MO, she may know some of them. Went thru some that he kept. Contrary to his opinion, we really don’t need 4 pictures of the same people, so I’m going to throw some of them out without telling him.

    I would never throw out my husband's photos. At the very least, scan them first.

    My husband and I respect each other's stuff ... we don't throw out anything that belongs to the other. We only declutter our own stuff. Or joint expired items in the fridge. :)

    My feelings about other people’s ‘stuff’ exactly. There is a lot of things my DH has that I would dispose of, but I leave it up to him.

    Monique - great job on the labs! Is your foot all healed up?

    Kylia - your vacation looks great! Thank you for sharing the photos. Nice bathroom!

    Rita - praying for the best outcome for your mom, and Brownie too. Your meal looked yummy - good job walking with weights! You mentioned a day or two ago about looking for a rent-to-buy place. Have you run across any areas that look appealing?

    Carol - good luck finding hearing aids that work for you!

    Allie - does SMiles know he's getting a little sister soon?

    Vicki - I also need constant reminders. Thankful for what Rita and others share in this group. I feel like I'm getting much, much more support here than I ever got from a WW meeting. ;)

    Ladies, I'm still enjoying your wedding photos and stories. Fun to see the fashions in those days, and the hair styles. Thank you so much for sharing everything and taking us down memory lane with you. <3

    Still awfully warm - there's smoke in the atmosphere which is blocking the sun a bit. I can't smell it, but see haze.

    Interesting research on UTIs.

    E coli from meat behind half a million UTIs in the US every year, study suggests

    I've not had one yet, although I imagine my time will eventually come. However, perhaps my meat avoidance helps avoid UTIs!

    Machka - The boss looks quite comfortable.

    Debbie - At least you’ll have the room for yourself for next visit after getting it cleaned this one.

    Terri - What beautiful dresses.

    Heather - I love your new flooring! It looks so fresh.

    So many beautiful weddings and brides. What fond memories it is bringing up.

    Rita - Hugs to you, it’s been a rough couple days.

    I am going a scrapbooking crop this weekend. I came home from work long enough to grab my stuff and leave. Tomorrow it’s from 10-9
