Sorry about your aunt. It is difficult when the generation before you is mostly gone.
Almost 100 pounds difference! At the weight I am these days I am pretty little. Very weird for me though I got used to it before and can do it again.

Liz, we too need to do a deep, full house cleaning. We're planning on doing it Saturday, after coffee. I already want to back out of the plan, but ill be happy Saturday evening. Then the following Saturday, we'll decorate for Christmas. That way when the kids are home for Thanksgiving the house should be reasonably clean and twinkley.
DS left for Madison, and the house is quiet. We are maintaining our cable news diet, so all the TVs are dark. I will probably watch the CBS Evening News at 5:30pm. We finished watching Disclaimer last night. Well done drama. We like Agatha All Along, so we will probably watch some episodes tonight.
Diane S, happy to hear your surgery outcomes make it worthwhile. Keep healing!
Good pre planning for the visit. Gentle escape plans serve everyone well, you don't hurt her feelings,and you leave when you want to leave.
Ugh, I hate when my health care providers dare to retire! Yes, waste no time seeing if this situation gets better, move on and find a better fit. When you know, you know.
Sorry for your loss. I had/have 2 aunties that mean the world to me, one has passed, one still lives in Massachusetts. I'm so happy you had her and the connection to your Mom. I hope her celebration of life next month brings you comfort.
I'm sorry to hear about your aunt's passing.
You must have really wanted to repent eating that peanut butter cup as you confessed it to us twice! Lol!

Greetings all
It's pouring rain here and my friends from the midwest are driving up from san francisco via Avenue of the Giants. It's really too bad it's raining so heavily as the attractions here are outdoors. I am making a mental list of indoor stuff. We have a dinner reservation at 5;30 at the place with a view so I will have to fill a few hours. Gallery, some drive in views, offer of studio time and coffee with cookies.
You guys actually make homemade marinara sauce!!! Yowee that is work. I do appreciate the home canned tomatoes we have had.
Yes Liz I am generally pleased with the condition of my hands. It's about a 50% improvement so it's enough to matter. I still have swelling and one finger is sort of numb. Not sure where that is headed. Need to message doctor. But worth it overall.
So I saw a new dentist yesterday. My usual one had a health problem and retired quickly. He was old as me so not surprising. So this other local dentist bought his practice. I do not like this guy. Bad vibes. He looked in my mouth for about two seconds and told me I need two fillings. Fee for that and cleaning was quite high. Plus I had a hard time figuring out where he was educated and not thrilled with what I found. The whole place had an off vibe. I am going to move on.
Not much else. Waiting around for our friends who are indeed having a Watery Wednesday.

I weigh 99.3 pounds more than Liz. I don't know why, but seeing Liz's posted weight when mentally compared to my own was humorous to me. Ah, the odd places I can find joy! LOL!
I am this week feeling the need to count down days to retirement: 6 months, 16 days. There was something very pleasant about Monday being a holiday after a 3 day dog show weekend. I purposely did NOTHING on Monday except workout and visit my dad. I didn't work on report card grades. I didn't do any chores. I groomed no dogs. I cooked, played games, read a bit and that was about it. I did not feel the pull to go to work yesterday morning even though I was awake before the alarm. Once at work, I enjoyed myself. Today I am in the swing of it. Of course, it helps that Wednesdays I start my day with my favorite class of the week: my k-2 moderate special day class. LOVE those babies!
Weight and eating are going well overall. Though (TRUE CONFESSIONS), I just ate 150 needless calories in the form of a single Reese's peanut butter cup. For dinner tonight I'm fixing up some pre made Chicken Tikka from Costco. Hoping it's good. I wanted to try something protein centered that would be easy to prepare.
I got the sad news that my aunt died. She was my mom's remaining living sibling. My auntie's death ends a very significant chapter of my life and severs the last real living connection to my mom. I will miss that part of my life. The memorial/celebration of life will be December 14 in Baltimore, MD. I have some unplanned travel ahead. I've known about my aunt's death for days, but it is now just seeming real and I am just beginning to feel the feels that go with the news. Odd how I work that way.
Not much else going on here... except the usual ongoing stuff...
Wasp-waisted Wednesday to all!
