118.2

Good day yesterday whi*****luded a bocce tournament in mid afternoon. Those younger kids can get the hang of a game like that pretty quickly. We played for almost 2 hours. The younger teen was still a bit sour because she wasn't as good as her brother but there was still good interaction.

I think today is the beach club again because it is the last really warm day. Tomorrow may be less sunny and the high Friday is projected to be 70.

DH's childhood friend arrives today to spend Thanksgiving with us tomorrow. He will stay in the hotel across the street from our community. Good thing as he goes to bed really early and gets up at about 4 in the morning. He tends to bang around like a bull in a china shop when he gets up. He also starts making phone calls at about 7 am, talking loudly and having it on speakerphone. I actually think he may be a bit hard of hearing because he is so loud and has his phone volume way up, but could be that is just him.

This morning we will do our Justice walk, then I have to get my first shots of Evenity, the drug I am on for osteoporosis for the next year.

Have a willing Wednesday!

Your friends must be amazing scrabble players - hence the shark nickname!

No, bocce was not on the original spreadsheet but we added it LOL.

So you can take a nap and still sleep at night? I envy people who can do that. DH takes a nap more days than not, then sleeps like a log at night. If I try to nap I either lie awake the whole time or I fall too deeply asleep and am in a fog when I wake up. In the latter situation I usually can't sleep that night.

Can't say I miss the cold weather. I am not looking forward to dealing with it for 13 days around Christmas. It is also darker as we have an extra hour of light in Florida in the winter.

I wonder if being distractible is why my DH has to have a plan for every day? Because he can be sometimes too. Someone here (CC or maybe Paula?) had a plan to fill at least one bag with stuff to donate or throw per week from the areas that required cleanup. Maybe setting a time on working in those areas once a week would help in getting them straightened to your satisfaction?

I love peppermint ice cream with the candy pieces so I bet I would like this shake!

No turkey! It isn't one of my preferred proteins. It has a funny taste to me. We always do chicken instead. Better flavor and more moist!

Greetings Peeps Peps and Pups

More sun today. Don't know what we did to deserve this. The day started with Scrabble. I had the Shark on the ropes - 80 points ahead - and then he bingoed out and won. So unfair! I got stuck with a whole lot of penalty points. Rats. One the second and lost the third. These people are getting too good for me. I had one 90 point play which was not enough.

What a great family gathering you describe Liz. Glad the younger one showed an interest in Bocce ball. A game for all ages. Is that on the spreadsheet?

Well Peps sooner or later you will get over the need to be doing something useful all the time. Computer games count anyway. And wow that is a lot of dog grooming. Offices are meant to be a mess. I f they are not, nothing is happening.

DD a log on the fire sounds great. Stay warm. I miss having a fire place.

So I stopped at the studio for a bit and got some glazing done. The new arrangement is grand.

No clue on dinner tonight. I had planned a store trip but skipped out. Freezer exploration to come.

So DD the occasional tachycardia episode is normal and not worrisome. But it does seem like they are a little more frequent so hence the idea of getting an apple watch to track them. If they get more frequent I will see the doctor.

Time to explore the freezer.

Diane I've been meaning to ask, how is the tachycardia acting? It seems you've had two episodes recently? Not worrisome enough to go to the doctor, or are you following up?
