Something different
This morning I went to Texas Humane Heroes, the humane shelter, and met up with their communications guy. We took a dog into Austin to be on a local TV segment.
I was along to help with the dog if the comm guy needed to be elsewhere for something. Didn't happen so it was just a ride down, shoot the live segment, and a ride back. I was only insurance if he needed another pair of hands.
Not much but I was able to help and it was not difficult. The comm guy was more than a little self absorbed but nice enough. The dog slept during the ride and was generally wonderful the rest of the time. The TV people were really nice, nicer than they had to be.
So it was something different and interesting.
Other than that I've nothing today. My fourth week on Semaglutide, fourth injection. So far it is interesting. I've lost maybe five pounds and it has leveled off but I'm tracking my food, staying under my calorie numbers, and not feeling too hungry so there will be more loss. I'm supposed to increase the amount of the drug nearly doubling it starting next week. But I traded messages with the doc involved and am question the advantage of more. If it only makes me less hungry I'm not sure I see the advantage. My satiation and hunger level is about right. If it somehow magically increases my weight loss while still eating the same then OK.
We're still figuring this out. I'd really like to lose the weight over a six month period and wean myself off of the drug.
Tomorrow I start taking care of my friend's chickens again for four days. They are going alligator hunting. In Louisianna. For real. Actually the wife is taking the husband. They come from low income families but I think when she was young they hunted alligator so they could have something to eat. That kind of poor. So she's taking him. I told them to stay in the boat.
I'm watching after a dozen chickens and two cats.
