202.3, Oh, FFS! I am tired of my body hanging on to these few pounds. But I'm feeling good in my skin and that's worth more than a number on the scale.

Kathryn is worried about the mama dog, so we are going to have her checked out at the vet's at 1 pm today. I'm sure mama dog is fine, but she had eclampsia with her first litter, so better safe than sorry!

We saw Wicked, pt 2 last night. I enjoyed it very much. I found the plot thread lacking. I have read the book, seen the stage version and have intimate knowledge of the original book and 1939 movie so I could piece things together, as did Ron and BFF. However, if one doesn't have the background schema, I think the last part of the movie leaves gaping holes in the storyline. It is a visually stunning movie and the performances are wonderful, too.

Kick workout yesterday. Today is SUNNY, which makes it a FRABJOYOUS Day in my book!

CC turned me on to a new word game called Octordle. I am obsessed!

How fun to have your daughter host Christmas dinner! I look forward to the day my kids take over the festivities.

A big storm is forming north of us, and hopefully will not slide any further south. We will get clipped by it, but maybe only an inch or two.

Yesterday more internet sleuthing, and it turns out the china we purchased is from 1903! The stamp is very specific to that year. Theodore is underlined, and it's stamped in red. China manufactured by Theodore Haviland during that era did not have pattern names, but somebody cataloged everything by giving it a Schleiger number. We're still not sure what number ours is. Searching Ebay and Etsy Haviland China for sale, we have not found it. This could become a down the rabbit hole topic.

Last night DH and I went to work out together at 8pm. Really nice, it is even quieter than in the morning. It was nice to wake up today and be able to putter about even more than normal.

I'm going to see if DH wants to go to a movie this afternoon before the possible snow arrives. I really want to see Hamnet. There are actually several movies I'm interested in after a drought of shows that interest old folks like me.

Fog can definitely be mystical, but I have to admit that having it more than once in a great while would be a problem for me. I need lots of sunshine!

What a pain with the checks! Accountant must have a brain freeze (or maybe an assistant did that not knowing that you had to sign them?).

That window robot sure does sound incredible. Will have to consider getting one (I also like devices).

If I had my Grandma's china, I would definitely hand wa****

The check thing sounds very aggravating, did you have to open every envelope to take out a check so you could sign it? Yikes.
