117.4 - the holiday eating commences today!
I did make the pot roast yesterday. It came out great and we have 1-2 more meals of it left. I also got my wrapping done yesterday - 15 packages. I made those grape/banana/strawberry/marshmallow Santa skewers to bring today.
We leave at 9:15 to drive to DSD's home (DH's DD). We are taking she and her husband out for lunch, then his other DD and grandchildren arrive for dinner. There will be 4 dogs, including Justice in the house. Two he already knows, but there is a new puppy Shih Tzu to contend with.
Unfortunately the drive will be in pouring rain as it is supposed to be close to 60 and windy/rainy. At least the snow will be gone here afterwards and the salt washed off the roadways. Yesterday we did our full walk with Justice, but he was walking in that road salt, so I gave him a bath when we got back. I didn't want it staying on his paws and belly.
Have a fruitcake Friday!

LOL, that you took a "Justice walk".
If the planter isn't in too much sun it will probably be fine for a lot longer than it would up north where the temperature changes are more drastic.
i can't believe you have to drive back and forth! I know people in our community who do that too at the holidays so they can take their dogs, but I just couldn't deal with it. I'd rather pay the money to board or have a sitter than to have that drive. But luckily Justice is small enough to fit on the plane.

I have had pretty good luck ordering pillows through Amazon.
i do miss beans. Many of my healthy meals like chili, hummus, and black bean salsa were full of the beans I can't eat now. In fact I used to make vegetarian chili. All the stuff I can't eat now!

Again, the wonders of retirement! I have nights like that periodically but when I was working I used to dread getting up before dawn, driving 90 minutes plus to work, then trying to function on limited sleep. When I have a night like that now, I just have an easy day and perhaps even a nap.
Johnny Was dresses are $500! I ge their catalogs periodically because a former owner was in their list but I never see anything that appeals.

I hope whatever ailment that has come to bedevil you today, leaves quickly!
Liz, glad your SIL seems to be doing better. I never would never have guessed an endo treats osteoporosis! Things you learn!
120.4, a very nice drop. Less snacking today so there is hope for tomorrow too!
3.5 mile walk with DH today after lunch and then we took another little one with the dogs. Nothing like a Justice walk! Very cloudy but warm enough as it was 80 today. I will go back to water aerobics tomorrow.
I got an herb planter for the pool area. Matches the "wicker " we have throughout the lanai even though it is plastic and unfortunately seems to be made fairly cheaply. Hope it will hold up to FL elements. I'll buy the plants after we get back from WI.

Winter weather driving! Yuck! DH is hoping for a major snowstorm that prevents our trip to WI. I'm in the let's just go and get it over with mode. I am excited to see the kids. Driving for 2 days each way, not so much!

I was going to recommend Costco for the pillows but agree that this is a bad time of year to go there. Hope your cold doesn't turn into a full blown sickness. ''Tis the season I guess!
