We left for DC on Tuesday and drove to Buchanan VA, a lovely little town with a great Airbnb. There was only one restaurant open and it was only open until 8 so while I was out on a walk I stopped and ordered a cheese quesadilla and chicken wings for Craig. The person atContinue reading “WTF”

I have transitioned off the steroids with no rebound cough. It is still not 100% gone but if I cough it does not turn into a prolonged bout. I am sleeping more normally although I have so much going on in my mind about the Robertson County Democratic Party Outreach and Engagement activities that IContinue reading “I AM BACK!!!”

I made it through the first 3 dosed (.25/.5 and 1 mg). I could not have continued to increase the dose and maintain any appetite. I lost about 20 pounds, half of my goal but there is not way I would want to continue on this drug long term so I decided to just stopContinue reading “My Wegovy experiment ends”

This is a 30 minute, 6 episode, 5 season dramedy that I binged over the last few days. It has been a long time since I have watched something that so utterly charmed me and covered the breath of emotions as this show did. Set in Oslo in current times. it is a look intoContinue reading “A must Netflix watch – Pernille”

It was less than a month ago that Natalie found out that Keith Urban was looking for a woman who could be in his band and sing duets with him on his High and Alive World tour that started in 3 weeks. Within 3 days she flew off for a 3 day rehearsal in anContinue reading “In case you missed it, Natalie is on tour with Keith Urban”

It was “amusing” to look at my last post on May 5. How naive I was – thinking I could outsmart a virus – particularly one that hit Craig so hard. I was still feeling pretty good on May 8th so I went to my personal training session, but did not push it. Later thatContinue reading “I’m Back – or Almost”

I was in Nashville last Tuesday night and when I got back Wednesday, Craig sounded awful. He said he had inhaled too much sawdust and would be fine. Shortly thereafter he started coughing and he was NOT fine. He lost his appetite and has had terrible fatigue but no gastrointestinal symptoms. He never had moreContinue reading “One more day of sloth (or self-care)”

Our dear friend Jack who was living with advanced heart failure died peacefully last weekend. Jack was the kindest, most supportive and creative human being. He will be missed by and live on through so many family and friends. One of my Covid projects was to use up 3 garbage bags of the yarn IContinue reading “Rest in Peace Jack”

I have had one week at the 1 mg dose and while I have not noticed any increase in the side effects, I did lose nearly 3 pounds this week which makes it a total of almost 10 pounds so far. My energy is good and my strength training is no different even though IContinue reading “Wegovy Week 9”

Craig really got hit with URI this week that kept us from the May 1 and May 3 protests. I did attend a TN Democratic Party (TNDP) Town Hall for Veterans at the VA facility in Murfreesboro, TN about 20 miles SE of Nashville on Friday morning. I randomly found the “flyer” on Facebook andContinue reading “Choice of words matter”
