Enigma Uncensored

Here we are, a gorgeous Saturday morning in sunny Whorlando Florida, before the big fire ball in the sky becomes too intense. We are gathered here today to a little walkie poo through my gardens. Are we ready? Let's go.... This week, we're starting in the backyard because I have to show off the passion flower. Has it become obvious to anyone that I absolutely love the passion fruit flower? It's so cool and unique. This particular variety of passion fruit, the blooms only open in the evening. So, I went out last night to make sure I got this picture. Some passion flowers, the blooms open all day and close at night. Still others only bloom during the night and close during the day. Fascinating, huh? As you can see below, I took the crown off the pineapple and planted it to start a new plant. You can do this with any organic pineapple you buy at the store by the way. (Non organic ones have some kind of growth inhibitor sprayed on them). All you have to do is cut off the crown

This week, we're in for a bit of a change in content. As most of you know, I'm having a procedure on my back this Friday. This procedure does require me to be under anesthesia. Last week, I got a call from the hospital, for my "Pre Admission Screening". It seems I cannot take Wegovy the week before the surgery since Wegovy slows down digestion so much. They're afraid I'll still have food in my stomach which could cause issues with anesthesia, and have asked me to withhold my dose until Friday. I usually take it Tuesday. I don't have a lot to report, yet. I haven't noticed a difference in my appetites or cravings. Truth be told, Wegovy is the type of thing that you can always take it at any time that day. It doesn't need to be taken at the same time every week. Technically, it hasn't even been a day without it. I feel like this will be a fascinating experiment for me, to see what changes I experience in the coming days, if any. I will write abou

 I don't have a lot to report. Life on Wegovy has become routine, and I feel as though I'm saying the same kinds of things over and over. That said, there is about to be a change in the household. Nick, my partner, was just prescribed Ozempic through the VA. Yes, people, even the Veteran's Administration prescribes this stuff depending on the case, obviously. Nick is a Marine (Marines never retire hooyah) veteran of the Gulf War. He's diabetic, so he was prescribed Ozempic over Wegovy. (As we discussed last week, they're the same medication.) He and I discussed my journey more in depth. I gave him all my warnings. Drink more water than ever before, eat slow, avoid high fat, high sugar foods, etc. To be clear, I cook for the house, and I make his lunch for work every day. He has, by my diet plan, been following a diabetic's diet. But, Nick has his own mind and this thing called purchasing power and a vehicle. Trust, he hasn't even made an attempt
