We are watching BBC News, and unfortunately, they air the White House media briefing. DH wants to watch it, and the pandering by the friendly "journalists" is nauseating. Time for me to make lunch. I can't watch.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

In other news, I had my first check in after starting Ozempic. I'm down 9 lbs in two weeks.
I'm not sure it'll stay at that pace but it's a good start. Pants are definitely looser.
I'm eating three small meals a day, no carbs. My drinking is down to one or two drinks a night. Last night I didn't finish my second drink.
The Pilates is definitely a lot harder than staying on the diet.

Today I learned what a fish kettle is. I have been picturing "a fine kettle of fish" all wrong for forever

David, that kind of progress has to be encouraging!

Might one say it was a different kettle of fish entirely?

It is! Though they upped the dosage today and now I'm feeling queasy. Need more crystalized ginger.

I literally just bought this ginger stuff yesterday, and it is SO GOOD at getting rid of the queasiness: [link] . But it is super super SUPER ginger-y. If you need less than a mega dose of ginger, I'm super fond of these: [link] .

One very well might, meara!

Ahh yes, The Ginger People. I know their wares. (I use their ginger syrup in cocktails, and their ginger juice in cooking.)
