Ocean! Howdy and good morning, ma'am.

OMGosh! I am astonished at the overwhelming misfortune your friend and her BF are experiencing. So good to have friends to provide for needs and comforts. Prayers that the cleanup (business end of ordeal) will go glitch less.

I tend to get caught up in the chaos new experiences naturally create and lose the joy of the adventure. Your post reminds me to appreciate and have gratitude every day for my body's ability to do and enjoy the journey.

Peps, that is such a problem- dealing with clothes too large for you ( reminds me of the retort "are you bragging or complaining?") If you buy new, don't get very much. I have a feeling you'll be needing to size down even more.

****ly, I use a cream, Triamcinolone Acetonide, for poison ivy- works well so could be great on bug bites. It's a prescription, but I bet your Dr would call it in without a visit, maybe.

To all in vacation mode- enjoy! Ditto for all at home, too.

Speaking of the day- off to finish up the house for tomorrow.

Agree about local elections. I live within my School district boundaries, and who gets elected to the school board has a big impact on my job. And who the mayor is has a direct impact on daily life.

Good morning! Travel went well. We were on Jet Blue this time. We got to DD's neighborhood about 12:45am, and found a place to park a couple of blocks away. This involved pulling suitcases down derelict sidewalks and down a flight of stairs to her street, then up 3 flights of the stairs of death. We travel to have experiences that are different than our daily lives :)

I'm so happy to be with DD again, and waiting for DS to arrive Friday. Saturday we leave for our beach cottage.

Today, no big plans. Since we rented a car, we will take DD to run some errands that are harder to do using using public transportation. Tomorrow night we are having dinner with some friends we refer to as The Boston Parents. DD lived with them the first 2 years here.

Your weight keeps dropping! Congrats on getting the house ready - it's a lot of work isn't it?

Down days like yesterday for you are tough and probably made you more irritated at the goings on at last nights meeting. Hopefully your mood is much improved!

I just checked my saved items for any reduction in price. I only purchased a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses to replace my older ones. I already feel like I have too much stuff (after going through the house).

So sorry about your Dad. Seems like he just got over the same problem?
