Second night of very little sleep so I am not in the mood for much today.

We lost our first actual Bocce match yesterday but didn't do too badly.

Today is the usual long walk, beach club, then possibly the driving range. Hopefully food and wine intake today will not be excessive though like many I sometimes compensate for lack of energy by craving food.

Have a friendly Friday.

Am I better? Who can tell. I did go to work, and the kids and I were both happy to see each other. That was gratifying. I did use some more sick time to leave early during my prep. Pretty wiped out again. But now I'm snuggled in my bed, and no obligations for the rest of the evening.

We have theater tickets tomorrow, but I'm not sneezing and coughing, all the congestion is cement in my head and bronchials. It's a matinee, so I think I'll go, maybe I should wear a mask. What are the new social mores?

I was texting was bff, her plan is to be in Minnesota from Thanksgiving until January 31. Just in case she was thinking she could stay at our house for 9(!) weeks, I texted her and said I need to know in advance what PART of her time in Minnesota she would like to stay with us. She tries hard not to be intrusive (but she is), but what it really comes down to is you live differently in your own house when other people are there. I like how I live right now. I miss my kids, but I'm fine with my empty nest, I just wish they lived closer so they could come over for dinner more often :) This should give her some time to line up some other places to crash besides our house.

That's it for now. Nap time. Hope you all have a more exciting Friday than me!

oh, I hate logging back on at 9:30 m EDT and seeing only one reply, so I have to post! LOL! Co dependent lil me......

Having a lot of fun being a spectator at the dog show. It's nice to see people I don't see very often except at these national events. Fun to catch up.

Three of the women I know have had substantial weight loss. Two used the Optavia weight loss program. My teaching partner also did this program last year. It's tempting when one sees the success, but there is no way I can manage that program with my eating disorder. I am beginning to feel uncomfortable about my size again.... Interesting how that feeling comes and goes.... Not sure what the catalyst is...

DD, hope you are feeling better after a weekend of rest and antibiotics. Liz, I wish for you deep sleep and sweet dreams.
