Greetings all

Big sun here. My day started early with a studio board zoom meeting. I attend in my bathrobe and pjs. All is going well but the issue of us buying our building has come up again. I would rather avoid that but fear we cannot. The studio remodel has been amazing and it looks great. So much more room.

Liz that dinner sounds great. Fun event. I am always amazed at how much socializing you pack in. I would have to rest for a week after any one of those.

I had the shingles shot(s) last fall. I don't remember it being any big deal. Got flu and covid this fall. The covid was the only one that gave me a sore arm for a few days. Anyway, y'all should do the shingles. Icky disease.

Glad you have a dry house CC. Always preferable. Good to know about the frozen shoulder exercise device. The disease I have in my hands (Dupuytren's Contracture) is often paired with frozen shoulder. Glad you are getting improvement. Also glad your Dad is staying in the hospital for a bit to knock this infection out. Is he happy with small screen football? Hope so. Agreed, the garlic in a tube is a good thing. Ditto ginger in a tube.

The house is getting cleaned now and I will go to the gym when that is finished and maybe to the studio again. Have banking I must get done.

Yeah Apple tv has good stuff. I especially like the Morning Show. Such intrigue. We need to start the American Revolution series but also have junk tv to catch up on like Palm Royale. Speaking of junk, watched an episode of Landman Monday. It is so sexist I can hardly stand it

DD stay warm. So you feel any different without tamoxifen? Hope so and good to not have it messing with weight.

We ate the last of the deli bbq last night so tonight is an all new dinner frontier. Maybe mac and cheese though I do have ingredients for red lentil soup that looked good. Maybe later in the week.

So much rain here! It's been fun especially since my house isn't leaking. I did indeed get to work on the newsletter as promised. It's nearly done, but I need to add any notes from today's HOA meeting before it goes out.

My shoulder has been really hurting since June or July. Dr. Google said it was frozen shoulder. Claudia told me about a rehab device called the Shoulder Reliever that has increasingly weighted balls you attach to the end and twirl it around with your arm pointed it various directions. It's supposed to strengthen the tiny muscles in your shoulder to stabilize and improve ailments. I finished day 10 of 40 and darned if it isn't feeling better after months of pain! It helps with frozen shoulders, rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, bursitis... If you ever hurt your shoulder, it's worth a try.

My dad is doing well and agreed to stay in the hospital until Friday for his antibiotic infusions. He's got his iPad for football and I added them to my Netflix subscription so he's engrossed in the Quarterback series on there. I'm so hoping this does the trick for him.

My house still has a vague onion smell, but it's much better. DD, I agree with you on garlic too. So much so, I don't use fresh garlic cloves to cook with and instead use that squeeze tube of garlic you can find in the produce section. I figure it's a step up from "jarlic", and is much more mild and less smelly than fresh cloves.

The feels like temp is 38. Brr.

Take care and have a good day!

I'll be anxiously following your shingles shot experience. I haven't done it yet because it sounds dreadful and I'm a chicken! But then shingles is more dreadful, so...

118 - up a bit but no surprise. Great food last night: shrimp, oysters, lobster, steak, and cream puffs. Yummy! It was a great party - 415 people with tables packed in the usual restaurant area and around the pool. Lots of dancing poolside (and as far as I saw, no one fell in LOL).

Today is water aerobics while DH golfs. First I will take Justice for his long walk alone. Need to get moving to get ready as I stayed in bed an extra 25 minutes this morning.

Dinner out tonight with DH's work friend and wife who just moved here. I wouldn't mind staying home as we will be busy all next week with DH's family but everyone wants to pack in stuff before the holidays.

The weather looks like it will continue to stay beautiful for at least the next week. A great start for Paula at her new home!

Have a wonky Wednesday!

An 80 point play sounds amazing. I would be lucky to get 5 LOL.

I did see the redwoods once - must have been around 1982 or 1983? They were wonderful. My BIL lived in Pleasanton and DH, SIL, and our 3 kids (the older set) stayed with them for 2 weeks one summer and did a lot of side-trips all over California.
