We're flying to Houston, where my San Antonio BIL will pick us up, and drive us to the coast. We're staying at the most charming hotel, circa 1913. Really looking forward to it! Short trip though, we have a small fall break here in October. Basically a 4 day weekend.

Up early with Kirby cuddles. He pins me down laying on my chest in the morning and licks my hands until I can't take it anymore or he goes for my face, which I draw the line at.

Kirby and I walked before the heat sets in - still 18 degrees above normal here (awful). Then I loaded up the car and went to the annual hazardous waste drop off with electronics, liquids, and batteries. Then a stop at the grocery store for everything I forgot the last time. I think I'm going to make this if I'm not too hot (a/c helps to simulate Fall).

The scale was 182.4 today. My hairdresser was blown away yesterday and so complimentary of the weight loss. Funny that I'm only about 10 pounds less than when I left, but the last pounds are the most impactful.

Tile guys here again today. Sigh.

The zoom meeting went well yesterday. I hope that's settled soon.

I think that's all for now. Take care!

I'm the odd one out and don't like buttered popcorn. I hate if my popcorn gets soggy and I don't like having greasy hands!

129.8

Liz, I feel you on the needtodo list- no worries because "time" will solve that problem. Do what you can; best efforts are some times thwarted by others lack of action. If it doesn't happen then leave it and negotiate at closing.

I think buffering the settling in what will become your combined home with a winter's rest in Florida will be good for the soul. Enjoy!

Another hot one here with the same forcasted into the upcoming week. Low humidity cools the air at night (windows open) but also rapidly heats the day. Works for me.

Royals move on to the playoffs. Game begins at 6pm so there is plenty to do before then. Don't know what, but will choose fun projects today ....

Recommendation for all- choose relaxing and enjoyable activities today!

Weight 119.4.

Yesterday most everything in DH's home was put away and the room with my former living room furniture was arranged. But I think it needs a deep cleaning - and not just in this room. Will likely need to wait until next year. DD and her new DH came to my soon to be former home at around 8 pm last night and took the rest of her furniture and some wedding bins they had left behind. Surprisingly they ended up with a full 10 foot truck. It didn't seem like that much stuff.

We are leaving at 6:45 to go to my place to meet the guy taking the last remaining furniture and to clean. I am hoping to be done by noon at the latest. It is already pretty clean as I did keep it up and the housekeeper came just before the wedding weekend.

The only remaining tasks which are dragging out and may have to be shifted to the new owners are replacing the mailbox which someone backed into a few weeks ago and getting the radio from the alarm system. On the former, I already bought the new box and support but the guy to remove the remains of the old box on the granite post and install the new one keeps cancelling. I called the alarm company to turn off service and they said someone would call me about them coming to pick up the radio but they haven't called. I really don't want to have to go back twice in the 6 days remaining so I'd like both these things to happen at the same time.

Not much else happening in life here. After today, I shift focus to packing for Florida. We will definitely need to ship at least one box as I have some decorative items to bring and am permanently transferring some clothing.

Have a successful Saturday!
