You're in the home stretch!

My move is a bit of a blur looking back... I think that's the brain being protective given how difficult it is!

I'm alive, but if you need proof of life you'll have to wait a few days.

Movers come today. We hope to leave here tomorrow morning and head back to Kentucky.

I realized a few days ago that moving must be like haging a baby--doesn't matter whether you want to do it because it's going to happen anyway.

Good news: I've developed purging muscles I didn't think I'd ever build.

Later, gators.

My boys would rather die than receive undies from their Mom for Christmas! Too funny!

9 days until Christmas and 2 days until we fly north. It is a gloomy day out but hopefully won't be raining when I head out for Water Aerobics in 2 hours.

Yesterday's golf tournament was so much fun! Very low stress, good friends, and nice weather. We are going to do a similar one again in February. I am starting to feel okay about golfing. I'll never be very good but I can drive and putt pretty well. A little tougher in between. Sometimes the ground gets in the way.

Today we have no specific plans other than water aerobics which is nice for once. We will probably do some house spruce-up since we have company coming a day after we return. We need to figure out some kind of dinner which won't yield leftovers since we only have 2 more nights here.

Have a magnificent Monday!

When my DH's mother passed away, we had been married 2 years. He had multiple packages of briefs his mother gifted him every Christmas, Birthday etc. I remember the first time he had to buy his own, it seems it was years later. It was kind of bittersweet. I've never bought underwear as a gift, but I do believe nobody can have too many socks, so those are usually stocking stuffers.

Love the tree and the art behind it!! And I could go for a winter setting like that. I'm guessing after Midwest life, one never underappreciates A nice day in December.

I'm afraid that dissapointment is sometimes the fate of my DH. He is so thoughtful in gift selection, and while I value giving gifts, I'm just not as creative as him. Sometimes I get a really inspired idea, which is so fun, knowing how much he'll like it. This year I'm not too inspired. :( Luckily for him, DD inherited his picking the right gift gene, and she helps her brother too, so he does get very sweet gifts from our kids.

I got DH a couple of nice shirts he can wear to the clubhouse because he only wears Hawaiian shirts and they are getting a bit old (and he never buys stuff like that for himself), a Fitbit mostly to monitor his heart rhythm since that has been a concern, and some new underwear (again because he won't buy any new ones until they are falling apart). So funny that he was happy with the latter because his mother used to give him new ones every Christmas but she died in 2019. No wonder they needed replacement!
