Procrastinating the day here! I have projects and chores to do, but no gumption to do them. A dog walk is in order... Maybe more tomorrow!

118.8 even after weird travel eating. But I did eat high protein/healthy for breakfast and lunch. And couldn't eat much of the pizza last night.

We got home at 8:30 last night. Only 1.5 hours later than plan. But we were exhausted partially because we had a 2 hour drive to the airport on the front-end and 1.5 hours after the flight, both ends being through drizzly rain. Yuck! I got a credit card from Breeze airlines to build points since they fly direct from our local airport. We can't avoid the long drive on that end but we can here. We are feeling done with the Orlando drive though we have to do it again in a couple of weeks to stay with grandchildren for a few days while their Mom travels on business.

It is so good to be home! So much more comfortable and homey for me here. I was missing my Cape house a lot, especially the sunroom where I had my big tree and my gas fireplace. That was my happy place.

We have company arriving this afternoon for 2 nights. This is the 3rd year we have hosted them on their way to their rental in the Keys. The husband is DH's longest term friend (since they were toddlers) and the wife was a classmate of DH. Nice people though they eat a little differently than we do. They used to be completely vegan though they loosened up a bit a few years ago to include some dairy and fish. The husband has had some physical issues impairing his digestive abilities and he wasn't getting enough nutrients from a vegan diet. So fish we can do!

But first a long Justice walk, then water aerobics. Have a Merry Monday!

I never got the women at the gym with full makeup on. But of course if I am really working at all I sweat like crazy. Makeup trails down the face would not be a good look (and would sure mess up the towel). Sounds like your walking is strengthening you if going up a bit doesn't feel more difficult?

Must have been an interesting speaker. And what a thoughtful gift from Vale.

Darned destructive rodents are everywhere!

You realize some of those visitors may be turning up here after the 1st of the year? LOL!

Do Goldens tend to have sensitive stomachs or is it just unique to Kirby? I would have a tough time with that. Drooling dogs are in the same category IMO.

Google's AI just told me this: "While not all Golden Retrievers vomit frequently, they are considered a breed that can be more prone to digestive issues and vomiting due to their tendency to eat quickly and sometimes ingest things they shouldn't, which can lead to stomach upset; therefore, occasional vomiting can be more common in Golden Retrievers compared to some other breeds." Makes sense - Justice sometimes eats stuff on our walks that he sees before I realize it and has issues later. Since Kirby is young and you are in an area with a lot of hikers he probably gets at stuff more often.
