Greetings all
It's cooled off here. Thats more like it! It should be illegal to be too hot. Wearing my usual long sleeved tee shirts. I don't do the short sleeved ones often because I have "lunch lady arms". You all know what that means.
Scrabble this morning. I beat the Shark right off the bat but then lost the next two games. Oh well. I can only beat the Shark if I have exceptionally good luck on draws which I did today. Then I got my weekly cheeseburger and went to the bank, art supply store, and finally the studio. Did some glazing and clean up of dry items. All these errands are a big day for me but I feel pretty good and not like a wreck. More evidence that minimal exercise might actually be a good idea.
Ocean D glad you made it home safely with the rough tide. No taking chances with the ocean or tides - Mother Nature is totally in charge. Good that you have someone know your plans. People get lost in the woods all the time around here with failure to share plans. Not cool. All that paddling sounds sublime and we are glad that you get to do it and that shoulder is being good.
Paula that dinner sounds great. I forget to do lettuce cups but it's a super idea. Lettuce by itself is worthless but with some meat items and sauce it's super. Might be time to make BLT's with no bread.
Costco chicken tonight after same last night. We will eat it every night until we are sick of it at which time the dogs get a bonanza. They also get the skin.
Still watching "Tehran". It's really intriguing. Hard to stop.
Liz onward on the house. Yep prices are ridiculous. My first house cost $40,000 and no it was not a trailer.
Scrabble friend gave me a bunch of old towels that she needed rid of. Took them to the pet rescue and they were thrilled. The towels really seemed in good shape. Good thing DH did not see them or he would have tried to keep them.
CC looks like Kirby is having a blast at the lake. I bet he is swimming like a fool by the end of the summer.
Cheers. Diane S

Oh I am so enjoying my slow day at home. You know those little random thoughts that float through your mind: we need a new soap dispenser, I should get the roomba back on!ine, I need to sort my books into read, keep and donate etc. I've ordered, sorted and puttered and its lovely.
This morning I sauteed onions, green and red peppers and olives. I put it in the fridge after taking a couple tablespoons to make a Greek omelet, along with some feta. Tomorrow, the rest of the sauteed vegetables are waiting, so more eggs in my future. I did better on protein yesterday, I had a shrimp appetizer for dinner, and I managed to drink at least one protein shake. It's a tiny bit of a chore to get out the blender, but I do enjoy the shake much more whirled with half a banana and ice.
I had a good workout yesterday, so I think I'm okay with staying home today. Hopefully taking care of things in and outside the house is at least activity.
I love cooking!

Enjoy your smaller clothes! One thing I hadn't thought of until I lost a significant amount of weight, is smaller clothes take up less space when traveling.
I concur with Mark Twain when he said the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. We visited in August, and I thought I was prepared having spent a good part of my youth in Duluth, "the air conditioned city". Brrr. I was so cold at night, despite my many layers. I hope you have exceptionally nice weather this evening.
Lazy? Are you the person who's getting their house on the market weeks earlier than planned? If you don't enjoy cooking, then you've earned the right not to cook.
Needing new clothes can be a plus and a minus when you lose so much weight!

You are such a good cook - I'm just too lazy.

I am also in denial about my capabilities even though I get reminded every time I have to get low to the floor.

Good morning! Not too much to report here...my weight seems to have stabilized for the time being, so that's good. DH's younger brother and wife are in the Bay Area visiting from LA, so we're taking the ferry into the city this afternoon to go to a Giants baseball game. Should be a nice evening for it, though I always bring a light down jacket because it can get COLD! The ferry leaves from the next town, about 15 minutes away from our house and goes to the SF Ferry building, which is a really fun foodie place, so we will poke around there for a while too before walking to the park. Coming home, the ferry leaves directly from the ball park, which is SO NICE! Looking forward to it!
