Good morning. Bright blue sky this morning! A high of 75 is predicted, so it will be quite comfortable this afternoon by the pool or the beach. The Florida sun is so deliciously warm.
Our dinner last night was good, but, like everywhere it seems, the service was bumpy because there just aren't enough staff. If we return to this restaurant, it will be on a weeknight in the future. They are victims of their own success.
This morning we are going to have breakfast at a farmer's market here on the beachside of the Sky Bridge. Then, more lizarding :)
Daily connection with the ocean is essential for my well being! How did I not honor that sooner ? My life is feeling so balanced. I love my apartment !! No negative dreams since I saved it !!

We are on our way to the Grand Canyon. ETA 2:00 if we don't stop on the way. It is supposed to be 80 in Scottsdale and 73 in the Grand Canyon. Then it degrades to highs over the following 3 days of 62, 52 and 42 with rain then snow showers. Las Vegas for the following 2 days we are there is 54 and 57 but at least it will be sunny. Can't complain though as this will be the first rain we have seen since we flew to Hawaii in early January.
Pill cases...I am still avoiding them even with the large quantities of HBP pills and vitamins. I used them for DH but don't want to start yet.
Have a safe and healthy Sunday!

Re the pill box. I'm a bit of a supplement person. It probably doesn't change the state of my health one way or another, but once I add one, I'm hesitant to remove it for fear whatever I'm taking it for will regress. Mostly I worry about my hair. My hair falls out easily so a lot of my supplements are from studies I've read about hair loss in women. Then my 3 prescription pills (1 for blood clots, 1.5 for thyroid), a daily vitamin, extra vitamin D, iron, Zyrtec for my chronic hives, antacid, magnesium to keep night leg and foot cramps away... it's enough to require a box.
Still no word from the electrician past telling me how much it would be and my agreeing. I think I need to try another.
Still struggling with my eating and getting some control back. I have lots to do today and no desire to do any of it! Think I'll play hooky from life today. Hope you all enjoy your days!
Greetings all
Far too much time at the computer today. Oh well. Actually some of it was sorting and tossing papers. Feels somewhat productive. And I always feel like I am working when the washer is running. My favorite thing while I was still working was to run the dishwasher while I was lying in bed - felt like I was doing some work while lounging.
Three cheers for the ocean! Yep it is indeed a tonic. Something about it is very calming and grounding and puts all in perspective. I don't go there often enough considering its only 1.5 mile away. My SIL used to park her car at this one very scenic overlook and just read the paper and such. We called it "The Drive In Ocean" as you did not even have to get out of the car to have a fabulous view. We also called it "Dar's Office". Google Luffenholtz Beach or Overlook.
So I am working on the gallery tax return today. Its really very simple but I have to make some adjustments to the numbers supplied by our treasurer and as a result have to redo all the math and correct the lines. I am a person who can enter the same thing on a calculator 10 times and get 10 answers. So I have to check carefully.
CC you need a "be a kid" day instead of adulting. Go for it.
OceanDiane so glad you have a peaceful happy spot. We are all ocean creatures indeed. One of my favorite places in the world is the Monterrey Acauarium; specifically the dimly lit room with all the sea horses and jelly fish displays. Magic.
More chicken enchiladas tonight. During my weight loss phase I truly think the thing I missed the most was Mexican food. Its irresistible. In fact I had refried beans for brunch today.
DD so glad you are lizarding. Wishing you a comfy hot rock!
3pm and the dogs are already lobbying for dinner.
Cheers. Diane s
