Looks great, Liz!

I am beside myself with joy as after a month in the mid 90s, it is 49 and raining this morning. I love it! So much so I got up early just to enjoy it and stood outside in slippers and sweats inhaling the petrichor smell. There is absolutely no better smell in the desert than rain.

The Sedona Plein Air Festival starts today with a week of painting events. I'm going to two. I'm excited to see the painters in the outdoors and the artists all bring art and there is a big sale at the end. And there is no sales tax given it's through the Sedona Arts Center, which is a big deal when your sales tax is 10.4%.

Just the HOA budget meeting on tap for today. Take care all...

Weight 118.8. Yesterday's low must have been an anomaly - maybe I was dehydrated.

I found tables for the lanai yesterday so the room is essentially done (before and after pictures below). Last night we went to a dinner dance at the beach club. We were afraid it would be too windy but they have installed some great screens to block the wind so it was no problem. Good company and great music. It's nice to be back!

Today we pick up our first visitor for the season. DS finished working the convention in Orlando yesterday so we are picking him up at 10:30. We will stop at our favorite restaurant on the water in Cocoa Beach on the way back.

Have a fine Friday!

I waited to reduce dosage until I hit the top of my weight range (since I don't use a single goal).

Late check in for me. 155.2.

Ladies Bible study this morning and sushi dinner with DS3 and his girlfriend. Heading home now.

Calories and protein low today. I'll try to do better tomorrow. Trying to decide if I'm going to reduce dosage before I hit goal or wait until I hit 130.

No concrete plans for tomorrow. DH works the 12 hour day shift.

Peps, I got a chuckle at you giving the scale the finger! I talk to mine!

The drive to Prescott was a bust! They had practically nothing by way of plants. Grr. I came home and ordered some from High Country Gardens. They'll be small, but I'll get what I want and they'll have the rest of Fall, Winter, and early Spring to get ready for blooming.

I walked Kirby, wrote sone checks and mailed them, dropped off my ballot at city hall, and worked on my HOA submission for replacing the trees that died this summer.

Impromptu board meeting tomorrow for the budget that won't be fun, because I am in charge of landscaping and want to increase what we do. Sigh.

I didn't weigh today. Didn't want to know! Take care all!
