Hi. I love my cat.
I think I’m the only person who missed the Northern Lights in Colorado last night. But I was out exercising instead and found Prada shoes for $8 in my (new) shoe size, so I’m going to be OK. 😅

So I started Mounjaro in October 2022. I weighed 297 pounds at my highest and my A1C was 7.3. This morning, I weighed in at 146 pounds and my A1C was 4.9. I’ve been on this a while and I’ve learned some things. This is what I wish I knew when I first started.

My new friend Kurt Geiger (an $11 thrift find) joined my insufferable yet motivational gym wardrobe tonight. All workout shoes should have crystal flowers, obviously.

A story of hypocrisy in four parts.

I asked her if she wanted help getting down from there and this is the look she gave me.

Instagram vs Reality

She’s a sassy supermodel. Still the fairest of them all.

Youma and Kumori. Two old shows in transition, trying to do right with some new folks in charge, but lots of baggage to... unpack? overcome.

I wish them nothing but the best this weekend and so should you.❤

I had my left knee replaced December 2024 and manipulated this past February. It has not been an easy recovery. Harder than anyone expected, actually. A perfect knee is -10 (straight) and 140 (bent). My surgical team was pleased when they got me to +4 and 120ish.

So I tried Zenni. Never again. They apparently can’t make the lens I need, but didn’t bother disclosing that before charging. They also won’t refund my supposedly-express shipping cost for sending me unusable glasses. Avoid.

I was feeling sad today, so I let myself exercise at TJ Maxx after PT and then I came home and donated what I’d planned to spend to Sister Carmen Community Center—an amazing local organization that was a lifeline for me and so many other neighbors post-Marshall Fire.

Thank you, Mounjaro

Still struggling to get working lenses. Every place I’ve tried has to send the frames in… and then I just don’t have glasses for two weeks. No such thing as a local place that traces frames, apparently. Going to call two independent places in Aurora and Arvada tomorrow. I’m going to scream.

Sydney appears to be experiencing vision issues, possibly in solidarity with me. She swears there are no treats in her dish. She’s a very deprived cat :(

I’ve been trying since December to get the right lenses for my glasses. I’ve been misdiagnosed, paid for glasses frames AND lenses twice at my local Target, had them make and remake lenses 5 times (maybe 6, I’ve honestly lost count) and it’s still not right.

If we were to compare my net worth against JB Pritzker’s billions of dollars, I’ve proportionally won more than he has while gambling (roulette and a Britney Spears slot machine). It’s math!

I got lectured by my PT for working out too much and that will never not be funny. I’m now banned from the gym on PT days. Currently sitting on my couch like a lump. I’m apparently stressing out my new knee by going too often. Oops.

It’s the best time of year for fresh vegetables!

Have you ever enjoyed a book so much that when you reached the last page you simply started reading it again?

Mounjaro is so funny. I've basically lost weight by the 1/2 ounce for the past few months. Slooooow but steady. And then last week, I dropped 5 pounds. Just like that.

I usually skip Tylenol because it just makes me nauseated. But I took some last night and now my baby has declared herself to be Queen Of The Strawberries, Ruler Of All Under Her Eye. She won’t stop posing and I don’t know what to do. Please avoid this dangerous medication at all costs.

Sincere praise to President Trump for publicly saying he got his flu shot AND COVID booster today. I hope his supporters follow suit!

Fall and winter cons: here is your semi-annual reminder to poke me for charity auction donations! I have signed prints and other goodies from various Point of Contact Booking clients and other dear friends. This is at no cost to you,
