Greetings all

Early check in for me. I have gallery duty this afternoon and may not get logged on later. It's sunny and nice and hopefully will be a good gallery day. A representative of our landlord is stopping by to negotiate the lease with me since no one else will do it. They want a pretty stiff increase so I gotta beat that down. Wish me luck.

Liz your home is so lovely I can see why you have some emotions. I sometimes miss my 3x bigger house we used to live in but remind myself of all the maintenance it took and all the work it took to get out of there. You have such a great place in Florida. Enjoy your digs! And you are rocking weight.

CC still so hot in AZ. Hoping for cool soon. RIP dog toys. I cannot think of any way to recycle that stuff. We get the no stuffing toys these days after years of cleaning up fuzz.

Good on you Bonnie on a good check up. Yep eat your protein. Enjoy the new home.

DH is at lunch at a mexican place so likely leftovers for dinner.

Got a call from our hotel in Marin yesterday. They are having some big repairs so there might not be ho****er for our stay. LOL. They will give us a big discount if we stay anyway so I said ok. Do not want to be looking for other places there as I am terrified of bay area driving these days. This place I know as I have been to this doctor many times. DH got our printer working again so I can print out instructions. I hate relying on GPS and need to know in my head where we are and where we are headed. Quaint? Maybe but gotta know. Years ago I drove all around San Fran exploring by myself lots of times but now it's just too scary. So be it.

Not much else. I am still in pjs. Maybe will consider getting dressed.

Good luck on the negotiations! With your smarts and wit and lawyer skills, I bet you can win him over.

Definitely still hot here. The NWS was calling it Hotober...

I'm good with the GPS, but have the worse sense of direction ever. I had to have instructions on paper before GPS too and had a few times in my life when I got so lost that I never thought I'd find a way to familiar territory. Panic invoking.

158.3. Down a bit!

Busy last few days. Came home from our Door County trip a bit early. DC1 was watching the pups and thought they got into their chocolate. Crisis averted I guess because neither of them showed symptoms of toxicity.

Spent yesterday and today getting ready for a craft show I'm doing tomorrow. I'm afraid it might be a bust. Only 12 vendors (a bunch dropped out last minute) and it doesn't look like they advertised it very well. At least some of the other vendors seemed interested in my stuff during set up!

Sometimes small shows end up being mote fun and successful. Hope it goes well

I hope your craft show ends up being worth your time!

My former beagle got into chocolate once. I called the vet and they said the amount required to make them sick was rather large (a large bag of M&Ms was way under the amount).

Both dogs each got chocolate toxicity twice from dark chocolate (which is worse than milk chocolate). Their small size didn't help either. $2,000 plus vet bill! Not fun!
