Oh wow! Another pup! Probably will be very different in personality from Kirby.
The woman still reminds me of my former friend with a borderline personality. She was NEVER in the wrong. Definitely best to just be civil from now on.

News of the Pope even got my DS to reply to the family text group! We are happy Catholics today. Pope Francis was especially beloved by our family, and we feel optimistic about his successor.
Beautiful time to be in Door County. Are the fruit trees blooming? Apple trees are in full bloom here, but I don't know when cherry bloom season is.
I think you have handled this "friend" issue just right. Due to living in the same community, you will be much more comfortable that you can be cordial when your paths cross, but you also know who she truly is now, and can also keep a cordial distance. She is a perfect example of the quote, If you have an enemy, do nothing. Wait by the river and their body will float by. I've seen it time and time again, I don't need to set things straight, defend myself, gossip. These types always do themselves in after awhile, and, well, float by.
And yeah for a Kirby little sister! A 2 dog family. :)
This weekend in Door County is purely for fun. Art fair is in 2 weeks!

Oh yay! A sister for Kirby!
Happy you and your neighbor are on good terms even if it means just being cordial with each other!

Greetings all
What started as a very foggy day has turned warm and sunny. DH continued on his password mission. Then we watched the white smoke and new pope. Lots of interesting discussion on that.
So I left the house and did my walking. It is likely getting to a point that I need to make it harder or longer or both. We shall see. My scrabble friend and I always bemoan our old lady aches and pains. She goes to Pilates and we compare notes. That is likely what I should do but I hate classes and scheduling. Oh well.
Liz some people thing WLS is the easy way. We all know otherwise. Meds are not the easy way either. Methinks your DH does not know what it is like to have the lifelong weight struggle. But good on him if WW works. Safe travels to Moby.
After gym I went to the studio and made some things. Stuff dries much faster in the sun and people put pots out on their car hoods for faster drying. Some have not yet learned that fast drying equals cracks. Oh well.
CC glad you talked with your friend but you are right that she will not be your bestie. She was unable to admit her overreaction and error. Oh well. And whoo hoo on new puppy. I like having two dogs - three was a crowd - and the older one pretty much housebroken the pup. Fun.
Paula enjoy the weekend trip even if it is sort of work for you.
My hair seems thinner in my old age. I always had super thick hair so it is not concerning but feeling sort of "light headed"! Another indignity that arrives with the passage of time.
Time for popcorn.

20 lbs. for DH Liz! That is awesome! Using GLP 1s is definitely not the easy way though! Just another tool for those whose brains don?t give us the correct messages!
123.9. Back up a bit! Got in just over 1400 calories yesterday!
DH worked his last day today! Yay! We are celebrating with su****onight and tomorrow head to Door County!

I had lunch with my neighbor yesterday. It was fine and we parted on good terms, but I feel vaguely gaslit and like she still doesn't get that she was in the wrong. Lots of comments suggesting I overreacted (I did not) and flat out denial of saying she called me vindictive. She said she called the HOA vindictive. I clarified "you said "you and the board..." she laughed it off saying I should read too much into her texts. Hence the gaslighting feeling. So the relationship will be neighborly civil, but I am not interested in being close friends with her.
I did something crazy and put my name on the list for a puppy with Kirby's breeder. Boy or girl doesn't matter much to me, but the boy waitlist is out to late 2025/early 2026. A girl would potentially be late summer. So I said a girl would be fine. It's not fun going through peak babyhood at Christmas/in the snow. So we'll see... he really does need a friend.
Not much else going on here. Hope you all are well.
