128 on the DOT. Up a good chunk - no real reason why. Did get my walk in yesterday - it felt good!

House appraisal came in and we gave our magic number to the prospective home buyers. I think they will offer asking price since I stated we were "firm" in the asking price. We really are "firm" because we don't NEED to sell at this point and time.

Sounds like everyone is doing well. Wouldn't it be fun to have a get together some day?

Good luck with the house. Hope #1 Son is doing well. Can't imagine having my jaw wired shut for any amount of time! 

Oh, I forgot..... 

Owlet update: Owlet in the hospital is still in ICU, but stable. The adult owls have returned to the box and are actively feeding the two remaining owlets. My neighbor wonders if the feeding four owlets became too much and that this might have been a case of survival of the fittest. If so, nature can be cruel, but I understand a neighborhood can only sustain so many birds of prey. 

I very happy the two left in the box are getting the care they need without human intervention. Whew! 

I assume this is Mama, though no guarantees! 

Great picture.  Beautiful owl.  Cool owl box.  I'm going to have to build one now.  I've been looking up plans online for sizes. 

You give great advise and encouragement on this forum.   While my weight seems to bounce around all over I can look back and see a slow decline.  I just thought it would be faster when I gave up the nuts&yogurt. LOL

Well shoot, back to 131. And facing a trip back to the midwest which usually results in excess eating and drinking. But since we are moving my mom downstairs I will be carrying boxes, shopping and all sorts of stuff. We have movers to take the big furniture and they actually asked if there were stairs since they didn't want to tie up the elevator too much! Can you believe someone would actually consider carrying a recliner chair down three flights of stairs rather than use elevator!!  This place has three elevators so should be fine. Bet there are no fat guys on this moving team. 

Spent all morning on the phone calling care givers, faxing documents, gathering info, arranging moving, figuring out keys, keeping family informed , and on and on.  It was like my old days in my law practice where I spent hours on the phone. But all is in readiness. Now if I could just get  crazy roommate to smoke some pot. LOL just kidding. 

Kairk I am in love with your owl. We have lots here. I have a friend with 30 acres of redwoods and she wants to log a few and actually has to hire a certified "hooter" to come and hoot and put out mice and see if any of the endangered spotted owls are nesting there. One showed up but they concluded its a transient male. Can you imagine your job title as "hooter"?. He is also a licensed forrester. 

Yeah it is good to know your restriction is still at work. I get an occasional reminder. 

Ocean Diane and Carbon and all of you, take care of yourselves.  

I will leave early Monday and may be awol her for awhile. But am looking forward to making my mom's new apartment a cute and pretty place. She likes loud colorful stuff as do I. 

Hmm, just thinking I need to take about 10 steps for every calorie I eat.  That means today I should only eat about 200 calories. Not gonna happen.

Take care all.  Diane S

P.S. At our art studio we have little kiln gods sitting on top of the kiln box. A common custom. Maybe we should also have little scale gods and goddesses.  might be fun. might be better to just not eat so much.    diane s

Sign me up for a goddess.  She's gonna have to hang from the ceiling --- nothing but me goes on the scale.
