MOCHI Week 11

-

 Actually took a shot late last week - the food noise was breaking through in a big way, so I was planning on taking 1/2 dose on Thursday, but the needle loaded so easily right to the full does, so I just went ahead.   It was still working well when it came time for my normal shot on Saturday, so I skipped it, and just finished off that bottle today (only .20 ml left out of a full .50 ml shot)   That's the extra that Aquita (the pharmacy) sends.   My next bottle is up in strength - 6.6 mg + 1.0 mg / .5ml.   


For those new to my blog, I get my GLP-1 from Mochi - it's compounded, Tirzepatide + Niacinamide.   Niacinamide is one form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that plays an important role in energy metabolism and cell health.

The cost of GLP-1s is what stops most people from using this amazing medicine.   For Mochi - I pay $199 every three months just for the "membership", and then $600 for 3 months worth of Tirzepatide.   The membership costs are the same for everyone, but if you go with compounded Ozempic instead of Tirz - it's about half the price.   To start, you can do monthly - which is $197 a month for Tirzepatide (and half of that for Ozempic)   Mochi will also try your insurance company, multiple times if you request it - but even with insurance (mine was denied either way) but even with insurance, some people I've spoken with find it cheaper to pay the cash price from Mochi.   Save $40 and use my code.   Then promote you own code to save an additional $40 per person that uses your code.   If you order 3 months at a time, they'll stack them and allow you to use $100 off.   I don't promote mine much, I don't want everyone in Facebook land to know I'm on the meds to start with, so I don't have referrals waiting for me, but if you use mine - I sincerely appreciate it!   Give $40, get $40 using code 


Weight loss has slowed.   This week - not even a full pound - lowest was 256.2 (was up to 256.8 today, but knew it would be - late dinner)   That's 19.6 pounds lost in 77 days ....   That's 1.8 pounds a week - a healthy rate and sustainable.    Oh, and this weeks photo - new paint !!  For 20 years we've lived here I've hated the paint/ floors, lots of it - and now, slowly, I'm making it mine.   This French Grey paint is perfect - real hardwood floors going down in a couple weeks - and Contractor Maxie is overseeing the entire job!   See you all next week :)

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
