Weight 119.4.
Yesterday most everything in DH's home was put away and the room with my former living room furniture was arranged. But I think it needs a deep cleaning - and not just in this room. Will likely need to wait until next year. DD and her new DH came to my soon to be former home at around 8 pm last night and took the rest of her furniture and some wedding bins they had left behind. Surprisingly they ended up with a full 10 foot truck. It didn't seem like that much stuff.
We are leaving at 6:45 to go to my place to meet the guy taking the last remaining furniture and to clean. I am hoping to be done by noon at the latest. It is already pretty clean as I did keep it up and the housekeeper came just before the wedding weekend.
The only remaining tasks which are dragging out and may have to be shifted to the new owners are replacing the mailbox which someone backed into a few weeks ago and getting the radio from the alarm system. On the former, I already bought the new box and support but the guy to remove the remains of the old box on the granite post and install the new one keeps cancelling. I called the alarm company to turn off service and they said someone would call me about them coming to pick up the radio but they haven't called. I really don't want to have to go back twice in the 6 days remaining so I'd like both these things to happen at the same time.
Not much else happening in life here. After today, I shift focus to packing for Florida. We will definitely need to ship at least one box as I have some decorative items to bring and am permanently transferring some clothing.
Have a successful Saturday!

Wow! It's almost done. It's like a well choreographed dance!
Very low key morning here. We're off for coffee and scones shortly. DH wants to work on gutters this afternoon. I have lots of little errands to run, so ill knock some of them off. I started reading Tom Lake last night, and hope to have reading time today.
I need to check the long range weather forecast for Galveston and start thinking about what to pack.

Liz, I feel you on the needtodo list- no worries because "time" will solve that problem. Do what you can; best efforts are some times thwarted by others lack of action. If it doesn't happen then leave it and negotiate at closing.
I think buffering the settling in what will become your combined home with a winter's rest in Florida will be good for the soul. Enjoy!
Another hot one here with the same forcasted into the upcoming week. Low humidity cools the air at night (windows open) but also rapidly heats the day. Works for me.
Royals move on to the playoffs. Game begins at 6pm so there is plenty to do before then. Don't know what, but will choose fun projects today ....
Recommendation for all- choose relaxing and enjoyable activities today!
158.8 , I think (remembering what comes after the decimal point is hard!) Down a bit (for today) do that makes me happy!
New range will be delivered today! Yay! I think I read that the oven part even does air sous vide! I've never cooked anything sous vide before so I'll be checking out some recipes! I love a tasty challenge in the kitchen!
Dinner out with friends last night. I chose the shrimp ****tail with a side cheesy potatoes that I was only able to take a few bites of. Had a Reisling as well. We then went to a martini bar but I didn't partake. Last time we went there with these friends, I got sick as soon as we got home - way too much sugar for this VSG girl! Liquid sources of sugar just don't work with my sleeve. Dumping and puking ensue!
We leave for Door County on Monday. Highs will be in the high 50's to low 60's while we are there. Time to bundle up!
