Hi Goldilocks! You got your favorite # today!

Diane O. Props to you for leaving after 27 years.  Another testament to how it's never too late for us to change our lives for the better. And you're successfully wading through the leftover crap, helping your girls. That's  awesome.

Thinking about your scale number limit and it caused me to wonder if part of the reason I initially liked 112 so much is because it puts me at more than half my weight lost  113 doesn't do it  lol

Hi all, 

Well I am late checking in today. was up to 132.5 thanks to chinese buffet food last night where I ate enough to get the slimies.  

Today was the scattering of sister in law's ashes at the beach she requested. Its beautiful but a difficult trail down so just some walked down and did the scattering. The rest of us were able to watch from cliffs above. We all tossed rose petals from our garden.  Mother nature cooperated and it was not windy nor cloudy. A beautiful clear bright day.  Afterwards we sorted pictures for hours. The other sisters are dear but I swear none of them can tell time. No concept of getting things done before they leave.

Nephew and I left to come home to crash.  Puppy was running around as usual and then began quivering and behaving oddly. Rushed her to the vet by which time she had improved. They think she may have chewed some rhodies in the yard which causes rapid heartbeat in young puppies. They gave her some activated charcoal and she seems fine now. Actually got me out of the family dinner which apparently turned out to be terrible because the restaurant took about 2 hours to get their food. At least I got to have yummy leftover turkey which was fine with me.

It was an exhausting day. While hubby's family is dear and loads of fun, it will be good to have our lives back. The nephews are such delightful gems and were so fun and helpful.  It was a good send off for the deceased sister. 

Ocean D sounds like you handled your issues well.  We are all developing good coping skills. I ate some potato chips today and thats not good but don't think I will be sucked back into junk food. Looking forward to a calmer life.  

Both remaining sisters and one nephew are MO or SMO and I want to just shake them.    Blessings to you all.  Diane S.
