That sounds apt
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

And your cousins bookstore sounds fun, Matt! Always glad to hear of bookstores existing, really, but I like the cut of that one's jib

Love that imagery, Steph!
You hand a bookstore in the family -- that's so cool, Matt.

I knew all the GD anniversary stuff was going on but I completely forgot about it when I was trying to figure out why Amtrak was announcing changes to the schedule affecting Levi Stadium. That explains a lot (did not affect me at all, it was always trains I was not taking or stations further on down the line than I was going but I was very curious. Still curious about the one that mentioned it was "due to an investigation" but I am pretty much resigned to never knowing what that's about)

Glorious day in SF much welcome after all the foggy days.
Did my morning Pilates which I do not look forward to, but always feel better for having done.
My contractor swung by this morning and removed the dangerous dangling piece of corroded iron from my decorative balcony, so that's one less head trauma to worry about it. I have to take both balconies down - which I'd been postponing until I found a replacement.
Lunch: Fage single serving yogurt with honey, with blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and walnuts. Pretty fuckin' yum!
Ozempic report: finally broke though a weight plateau I'd been stuck on for a month by upping my dosage and being super strict with my diet. Down 30 lbs since April.

Good progress on all fronts, David. Nice!
DH's company is changing insurance carriers (fom United Healthcare to Cigna -- my personal experience with Cigna has been good, and I won't miss UH), so I'm waiting until Sept. 1 to have my doctor try for Wegovy. But I see her this week for annual wellness, so we'll talk about it then. They're coverage year starts in September for some reason. Fine by me.

Is Jen (formerly) K about these days? Did she change her board name? I have a midwife question!

She's not on the board or FB very often, though I see her every few months. If you're friends on FB you could message her.
