Shoot! I just lost my post because I hit one of the ads on the page by mistake.

Weight 122.6. Yesterday it rained most of the day so I didn't do much other than get my car inspected, finish a book, and finally take Justice for a long walk by the water in late afternoon.

Today the Purchase and Sale contract signing and escrow delivery deadline is at noon. Haven't heard anything since their attorney contacted mine early Friday saying that her clients wanted it done as they were nervous. Not that nervous apparently. Now I am worried. I really don't want to have to start showing the place again. Maybe we should have stayed at DH's home until it was signed.

I have multiple appointments today which I hate though I used to plan them this way when I was young and working. After that I am out to dinner with 2 SILs and 2 nieces. DH is going to his house with Justice for work around his house and a beach walk with Justice. He wants to try hitting golf balls which he hasn't been able to do for over 2 weeks after straining something in his leg. He usually plays 3 times a week this time of year so is really missing it.

Time to press submit before I mess up and press the wrong place on the screen again. Have a tactual Tuesday!

I'll quickly try to catch y'all up on my stuff.

My weight's doing fine. I'm now hovering between 125-128. The rather unexpected additional weight loss (coinciding with selling DF's home, us moving back to my home, working on my home, looking for a single-floor new home for us, and all the physical exertions and emotional impacts of those transitions) has finally stabilized. I've weighed in this range for the last 6 weeks. I have to admit that I don't hate how I look at this weight. Admittedly, I still need more pants that fit.

I continue to make progress on my home inspection punch list--2 new dishwashers installed, trash compactor repaired for $100 (didn't have to spend $1800 for a new one), electrician's fixing some minor GFCI issues, found someone who knows how to repair a glass door that doesn't open (locking mechanism is frozen), etc. I'm glad I have a few months to finish things up. Declutterring is going well and continues.

I haven'****ched much of the Olympics yet, but that will change soon. Mostly I'm awed by how beautiful the world's best athletes are!

This morning I have a hair appointment and a few errands, then later we'll be clearing out all the kitchen stuff I need to get rid of. There are so many duplications when you're combining two big homes. Happily, there are post-college grandchildren and nieces now establishing their own homes who look forward to receiving some of this stuff.

That's all I've got now, unless you want to hear me opine about political goings-on, but I know you don't.

Wow, so much moving and selling -past, present, and future- goes on with our small group! Ann, I bet it will be hard to leave your idyllic acreage! I have seen a few photos of your pastures and woods. And then that house! I would have a hard time letting all that go. But, I understand, too.

I have no idea what my weight is doing. I can only gauge by clothes and what I'm putting in my mouth. I think I'm doing just fine. My meds did not arrive in time for me to take them along. So I'm going to have to piece meal together a dose from the three vials of "leftovers" I brought along for the ride. I may "shoot up" a day early so I don't have to deal with refrigeration for the rest of the trip!

If I get everything accomplished today as far as grooming goes, I will head off to Minnesota tomorrow instead of Thursday. An earlier departure makes sense and will allow me to be leisurely in my travels and give me more time at the museum on Thursday.

Molly is asleep on the hotel bed after a bit of a hard night. Her gut was bothering her and she had to poop twice during the night. Poor girl. She's done well at the shows. I am proud of her. She won the owner handled group yesterday and got a group 2 the day before. (For Diane S: Molly also racked up two 5 pt grand champion majors...)

Not much else to report.... Touchy Tuesday, indeed!

Busy day today! I get my hair cut and colored at 10:30, will try and eat some lunch (couldn't get all of my breakfast down) and then going to a friend's pool to hang out in this humid weather. DS2 will arrive this afternoon and I will make us ahi tuna sushi bowls for dinner. He needs to pick up some of his stuff here for his new apartment so it will be a short trip for him!

When do you notice the meds peaking after injection? I'm thinking it's day 2 or 3 for me. Food just sounds yucky to me right now. I will try to be diligent in getting my protein in. Friend wants to do ****tails by the pool but I will pass on those!

Glad that you stopped in to say hi Ann!

So humid today! When I woke up, you couldn't see out of the windows as they were all fogged up with the a/c on inside, hot and steamy outside.

Lots of little stuff done this morning, none consequential, but all satisfying to have done.

I have a board meeting this evening. Otherwise, nothing else I have to do.

Didn't bother weighing today.

Take care!

Greetings all

Great day here though there was a little mist in Eureka. Went to scrabble where I won two and lost one. Beat The Shark! Lost the last game by only a couple of points. Then I picked up my Tuesday cheeseburger at a little place where I can read the San Francisco Chronicle while I wait. A good newspaper is such a treat. We used to subscribe but too dang many papers around.

Ann good to hear from you. Yep we spend the first half of our lives acquiring stuff and the rest getting rid of it. Glad you have younger family who is willing to take it. That was my mom's justification for saving absolutely everything. Went to the dump. And good on you for seeking 1 story house. It's what is needed.

Stopped at the studio and glazed more.

SH has Poppy out for a walk. I know this because my phone tracks her and tells me when she leaves the house. Also DH is not here. Good clue.

I have the Olympics on. Water polo. A sport I do not understand and don't especially want to. Looks like under water football. But the mens gymnastics last night was fabulous. And all the muscular young men... Women's gymnastics tonight even though I already know who wins...

Paula hope you have a great pool day. Nothing better in July. Wait, july is almost over!

Liz I bet your sale goes through. So mu*****onsequential stuff can delay stufff including lawyers and staff who are not that concerned about a couple of hours.

Yay Peps for Molly! Sounds like the trip is going well. What a trooper she is!.

Not much else. Remainder of turkey BLT wrap for dinner tonight.

Hi everyone! I've been missing in action because internet was scarce at my Aunt's house, and these 2 80 year olds ran us into the ground! Part of what wears me out is that both of them have speaking complications, my uncle has aphasia and stuttering from Parkinsons, and my Aunt has a module impacting her volume. It requires very attentive, careful ljstening.

I caught up on the posts I've missed, weight losses, art sales, home sales, dog shows, road trips, sweet sweet frozen custard. and dress fittings. Lots of good news and a karma skunk when needed.

Today was another careful listening time at my Aunt and Uncles lawyer. We had a 2 hour meeting to discuss various trust and power of attorney options.

I have no idea about my weight these past 2 weeks and I know I haven't eaten nearly enough protein. I don't know how you do it Liz when you're on the move so much.
