nwhiker1. Amazon seems to always off me same day delivery for many of my items, but I always tell it to group them in as few shipments as possible, even if it means waiting an extra day or two. But then, the deliveries came in two trips to my place, 15 minutes apart, and in three packages. I'll note that all the items were tiny and would have fit in the smallest of the envelopes they dropped off. This isn't the first time and I'm really starting to wonder if I should bother with the grouping/waiting any longer. Sigh. I wish I didn't have to use Amazon, but I went three different places on Sunday to find 9x12 manilla envelopes in a 12 pack and nobody had them, despite claiming to online. I should have ordered the 25 pack online from amazon (and may yet, if my MIL doesn't have any.)
2. 100 Day Project: UGH, OMG. UGH. I found a dropped stich. Well, that's not true. I never found the dropped stich, just the ladders it left. Not sure how I missed them as I was knitting past them, but I could not figure out how to fix it and had to tear out 2 inches of knitting, grr. But eh, it's all a part of learning. I also ordered craft tweezers, that was one of the things I got from Amazon this morning.
3. I think I've mentioned that I'm having trouble getting back to my slightly lower weight. There is a physician on the Zeppy Reddit board who had some suggestions that they use with both patients and on themselves, and that they know other MDs have tried, but they do involve getting my NP on board with prescribing some other stuff. That's going to be my fallback plan. Someone else suggested -there is loads of good and bad info on that board- upping exercise to see if you can jumpstart weight loss again. I like that idea a lot better than seeing if I can persuade my NP to prescribe something that I don't have data on beyond "a physician on Reddit", LOL (None of the things are dangerous or off label, and I'm sure people are using them already but also, I no longer, even at this higher weight, quite meet the BMI criteria for prescribing them so.), so I decided to do a Couch-to-5k program. I started yesterday. The Seattle Summer Half Marathon is the day after my birthday so I may do that, not running, dear god, no, NOT ME, but a run-walk? Might be fun.
3.5 That way I can leave Tday weekend free because I think that is going to be the ideal time to try for our trip to Japan. Note: if anyone has seen the Instagram and other memes that go along the lines of "In every relationship, there is the person who obsessively plans every detail on a trip down to bathroom breaks and souvenir shopping, and the person who shows up at the airport passport in hand". The problem? In my world, we all -dh, the kids, and me- all want to be the passport in hand people. 🤣 I haven't even been able to get the kids to do enough research to tell me what their absolute must-dos are, beyond the Studio Ghibli Museum! Dh and I want to do a lot of hiking, which in November might be iffy but eh, we'll figure it out. Anyhow.

Unlike some training regimens, he thinks you should do longer than your goal race during training, so you know you can do it. (But you already know you can complete one, so that's less of an issue.)
I will place close attention to your Japan trip details if you end up going! Matthew wants to go there some time, and is trying to convince Cassie to go as well (since they're into learning Japanese right now.)
