It is amazing that Sadie is 11 now - so is Justice. They enhance our lives so much while they are with us but theirs pass quickly. Quality of life is definitely the focus at this point.

118.6. Holding pretty steady but Milk Duds were consumed today, so we will see!
I've been consistent with water aerobics which is one reason I think my weight has been steady! I really enjoy it!
Signed my vendor contract today and got all my questions answered. We will start setting up this coming week with an official opening date of March 1st.
Liz, your blisters sound miserable! I'm so sorry you are going through this!

I am an independent vendor but they do have store wide sales, usually once a month I guess. Vendors can opt out of the sale which is good. I'll see how much it cuts into my profit!
Fingers crossed that one of the inquiries regarding the RV becomes a sale for you!
Hope your Dad visit went well!

Nice to see you posting Ocean Diane! Sorry about Sadie. So hard when our fur babies get old and feeble. Emma dog is 14 3/4 and Bella is just over 14. Bella is still pretty spy but Emma is a little old lady!

Greetings all
It is cloudy and windy today and there are the usual beach warnings. I suspect the rain will begin soon and it is supposed to be a lot. So I went to the gym and did my walk and then the studio for glazing. The place is now so popular that there is barely any place to park. Across the street is a no parking zone but one of our board members is on the city council so maybe we can get it changed. I think it is no parking because they don't want people in vans parking over night.
Liz my feet hurt for you! I suggest Claritin which I take every day for allergies (dust and pollen I think) as it is non drowsy. I was googling nickel allergy and saw that there is a Reddit group for people with the allergy that you might check out. They said avocados and some grains are also bad. Who knew? Anyway, we hope you get some relief. And go for the lift. Why not?
CC dining out is always an issue for all of us. Restaurants = too much food. Good that the weather is nice and you can be outside as much as you choose.
Hello Ocean Diane!! Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear that Sadie is ailing. The steps that CC suggested look good. We never could get our old dogs to use a ramp either but they were not too hard to lift. Any paddling? Enjoy your trip to pac northwest.
Peps glad the teaching day was good in spite of technical issues. Tee hee that the woman did not recognize you!! Hope the RV sells soon. To sell a house you are supposed to bury the St. Anthony statue but I am not sure if there is a patron saint of RV sales.
Lordy do I need a new hair do. My hair has become what they used to call "fly away" and sticks out all over the place. This never was an issue for the younger me. First world problems.

Well Paula you had better look at that contract pretty closely. In a consignment situation you always own your stuff until they sell it as your agent and therefore you have control of all pricing. Our gallery is totally consignment. Customers sometimes ask for discounts and we tell them that each artist sets prices and we have no authority to discount. The only discount we have is if one member or their family buys the art of another member. A 20% discount is given which is effectively the gallery forgoing its 20% commission and the artist gets her usual 80%. So look at the contract carefully. If this store wants to forgo its own commission then that is fine but it does not look like the numbers work. At a minimum the contract should limit how often they do this. If it is more than a couple of days a year I would say pass. It is amazing how often people want to bargain over a piece of art. Nobody does that at the hardware store or most other retail. Diane S

LIz, those blisters sound horrible. Perhaps a pair of sneakers a half size larger than normal would be good to have on hand for your blister episodes???? And you have my vote for facelift #2... If you are doing it for you, I say go for it.
Diamond D., enjoy your last days in Brazil. I like your rock!
Paula, I guess I'm unclear on your vendor booth. Are you independent, or are you at the whim of the store? It seems to me that if they can discount your merchandise, they should buy it from you wholesale and then do with it as they wish. If you are renting a space within the store to sell your work independently, I don't see how they can discount your merchandise.
Ocean Diane, nice to "see" you. It's sad when a dog's back end begins to go. There is really nothing to be done. Is it spinal degeneration or hip joint degeneration? Either way the prognosis is bleak. But, with good meds and reducing her weight (hard for a Lab), you can slow down progression of the degeneration.
CC, you're on a great trajectory to get to your wedding weight! Congrats!
Me, back up to 201.1 this morning. No great shock. My muscles are still sore and my eating yesterday was out of routine.
I parked the RV at home on Thursday and have been charging up the batteries. Today I will take it back to storage and continue to keep my fingers crossed for a sale soon. I was hopeful on Thursday, but no follow through with any of the inquiries have come yet. Poop!
It's chilly here, with sun on and off. Lots of clouds blowing through this morning. At the moment it is sunny.
Dad visit, gym, and dog grooming on the schedule for today. Not much else.
Super Saturday to all...

Nice to see you, Diane! I can't believe Sadie is already 11. How time flies. I got some stairs for Kirby to get in the car and started him on them as a puppy since with Fergus, he struggled at the end and wouldn't use any kind of ramp. https://a.co/d/09pKw4gu These are wide, not steep, and sturdy.
191.4 Yesterday we went out to eat again. And are again today with my friend and her husband. 11 more days of food...
It couldn't be more beautiful today. And it's headed toward the low 70s this week. I guess a couple of days of winter was it!
Liz, barefoot walking with blisters sounds awful! I hope that clears up for you soon.
My rug came yesterday and it looks good. It just needs a new, longer rug pad.
Just some vacuuming and probably some sitting outside on the docket for today. Plus drinks then dinner tonight. We're watching the new season of the Night Agent on Netflix. Good stuff!
Take care all!
