Too many TO DO's on our lists to sleep!

148.7, up another pound! If eating 1,000 calories a day instead of 600-700 makes me gain weight, I'm doomed! I took the second 1/2 of my split dose last night. Took the whole 1/2 dose instead of the quarter dose I took on Thursday. Mostly because the Best Used by Date on my meds is 11/23/24 and I have a few weeks of it left. Not sure why they didn't give me fresher meds! I'm still getting good suppression but food noise is a little more (i.e., the sweets around the house are calling to me a bit).
Emma dog is set for a dental cleaning and most likely some extractions this morning. She also has a little growth above her eye we will have them remove while under anesthesia. They are having us sign papers if we want her to be a DNR or not should something go wrong during surgery. I think that is unlikely, but she is a little old lady at 13 1/2!
Going to see Wicked with DC 1 today. Still need to do the guest bedroom sheets (3 sets) and finish inside Christmas decorations. Also have some returns and other errands today!
Like Liz, sleep eluded me last night!

119.4. Yesterday evening was my 1/2 dose day.
Ann, I bet you are going to be so happy to be done going back and forth such a long distance. Be prepared to grieve for your house though. It is good that you will be so involved in working on making the new place perfect to help combat that.
I will have to look for Geek Girl, but it sounds like something I would like though not DH? We watched the new Lindsay Lohan Christmas movie on Netflix last night. It was just okay.
Yes, I did get most of the chores done that I wanted to yesterday though we still need to do some cleaning, especially in the bathrooms. The next guests arrive Wednesday or it is Thursday? We have to check with them.
So cold out this morning for Florida (48). I have a head cold and only slept solidly for about 2.5 hours last night so I just don't think I have it in me to go to water aerobics and freeze this morning. I am hoping it is canceled but if the temperature goes over 55 she will do it. In the interim I turned the heat on as it was 64 in the condo. Guess what? It is only blowing lukewarm air. Feels like it is recycling the air in the house without warming it as it has been on for over 1/2 hour and the temperature is still 64. Another repair bill. In the last month we have already had the garage door repaired, a plumber, and an electrician (with our handyman coming afterwards to fix the ceiling). When it rains it pours...
Hopefully at some point it is warm enough to walk with Justice. Is is quite sunny though windy. Have a munificent Monday!

I don't understand why the people using the gym equipment can't control the TV in front of them. I used to hate having to watch some sort of fishing or golf tournament when I exercised. Boring!!!

It's another Monday morning on Planet Earth. The next few days will be busy ones for me with lots of financial and pre-moving to-dos prior to my home closing in less than two weeks.
During yesterday's day of rest I enjoyed being home alone. I binge watched "Geek Girl" on Netflix, a surprisingly enjoyable and sensitive Cinderella story about a neurodivergent 17-year-old girl who is discovered by a high-fashion modeling agency. Drama, romance, and beautiful clothes ensued, and I ate it all up!
Other than that, there's no new news. I'm still sniffling and phlegming and hope to see my doc today. Y'all have a good one.

Greetings all
It's chilly here and the sun cannot decide whether to come out or not. Whatever. After my usual piddling around I went to the gym and did the treadmill. It was nice because the wall tv was showing something I like. Instead of some wretched basketball game they had AKC dog diving! So fun. And the last part of it was little dogs like a king charles spaniel, ****er spaniel and the piece de resistance was the corgi!! Very fun and made me walk longer. After that it was studio where our holiday sale continues with lots of people about. I will work the sales table closer to Christmas. I got a few new things started and came home and had a snack of butternut squash risotto from the hippy dippy deli. Quite good. Chicken pot pie tonight. I know it's not in my long term best interest to not be more thoughtful about what I eat but it sure is less stressful. My bargain with myself is that so long as I do the exercise I don't stress about food so much. (again, she rationalized).
Yo Liz you have all the sheets washed and stuff done already??? I hate you. No, not really. Congrats on chore completion. On to the next one.
DD we are all so tickled that your DS has found a keeper. Such a gift. Just think - what if this person had purple hair and face tattoos!! Actually the fact that she is so personable is what matters but lack of purple hair is a bonus.
Ann you are the road warrior! Hope the final trek goes well so you can land safely in the new home. Yeah jewelry of the house! A friend of mine made these glass window hangings that she called house jewelry. Mirrors and lights are indeed home bling. Bet you can't wait for it to be done.
Peps I hope you are loafing the day away and not feeling one bit bad about not doing every chore.
The terriers (terrors) are having quite the wrestling match on the deck. They get frisky close to dinner time. Wish I could say the same.
Not much else. DH actually tried walking backward on the treadmill today. It was stunning.

Once you see your child with a partner who clearly lets them be their best selves it makes you hope that this could be the one. It was like that when I met DD's now husband. And I remember my SIL saying the same things you just said about her son's now wife.

You are correct - and the sheets are back on the guest beds.
