120.4 - I had the hungry horrors yesterday. Likely because I was bored.

Other than the Justice walk in the morning, I stayed in all day. I didn't want to deal with the bandage on my back at the beach club. I guess if I want to go today, I could have DH remove it before he goes to golf. But I would have to be very careful what I lean on with it uncovered. I feel like I am stuck doing nothing right now. In that light, I cancelled yoga for today again because of the feet. The weird thing is that I can walk on them fine because the blisters are on the sides. It is only painful when the sides of my feet touch something (like lying on my back). I had to sleep with my legs on a pillow last night.

I did get my decorations for the Golf Event I am running last week made. The theme is Wicked so I bought witches hats and magic wands for the centerpieces. I put pink and green ribbon streamers on the magic wands.

No idea what I will do today while still in limbo. Perhaps I should soak my feet as suggested by Diane S. Have a philosophical Friday!

Sounds like a good ladies group to be a part of.

Yeah, a foot soak might be good but to get ho****er in a soaking basin from the kitchen to where I like to sit would be a royal pain. I guess maybe I could just sit in the kitchen and use my iPad there...

Greetings all

The sun was out big this morning so I decided to go to my Lunch Ladies group. This is something I got invited to a year or so ago and it is an interesting group of professional women that I would not otherwise have met. One is a lawyer who is still working and recently tried a will contest case so we shared war stories about wills and elderly people being taken advantage of. Also talked about our medical issues of which I have relatively few by comparison. One woman got the sleeve about a year ago and is down about 84 pounds. We talked about how medicare now covers the sleeve but when I did it Blue Cross considered it experimental and I had to appeal to get it covered. A fun group. One woman knew DH's now deceased sister and was pleased to hear she now has a namesake.

After that it was time at the studio. I almost skipped that because it started raining heavily when I was on the freeway but cleared up by the next town. Dealt with the personal property tax return there as well as made some ravens.

Liz dang it what is to be done about those blisters? Seems like it is getting worse for you. I wonder if there is another factor? Meanwhile flip flops I guess. Foot soak might feel good.

Peps it is not surprising that people wanted the custom crates. Dog mobile!!! I bet it will sell pretty soon as it is such a nice unit. Crates or no crates. Enjoy the kid day and the fact that it is a one day job. Yep dog clubs. I bet people are saying "why don't we do xyz." which comes down to YOU doing xyz. "WE" always means the officers do the chores.

Paula score on those massages. good deal. You are indeed rocking Florida.

Not sure whats for dinner tonight. Must explore the mysteries of the freezer.

Diane S

Dumping feels awful. I haven't done it for a while either and would prefer to avoid it.

Good deal on the massage!

I decided to skip the beach - I forgot that I have the big bandaid over the stitches in my back where the cyst was removed. I would need DH to be around to remove the bandaid if it got wet (I can't reach it), but he was playing golf today. Justice and I hung out on the lanai and I worked on my decorations for an event I am running next week.

LOL - probably operator error on typing. It is Mike's 38 year old son and his wife (DIL is Daughter In Law I think?).

118.2 this morning. Pizza for dinner so it should go up! Last night I had dumping from some Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Long time since that had happened. I didn't think I had that much but my tummy said otherwise! Burping, nauseous, fast heart rate. I felt awful!

Today was as busy as expected. Water aerobics, a cut and color, and a wonderful couple's massage. Actually one of the best I've had at it was a 90 minute massage with Groupon for only $128 for both of us! Insanely cheap! I'll go back for sure!

Tomorrow the self care continues with water aerobics and a dermaplane facial!

OH is acting up again this morning so fingers crossed...

199.4 up, down, up, down... But as long as that up down keeps slowly going down, I'm a happy camper!

I have had several serious inquiries on the RV since listing it on National Vehicle and posting on FB. All but one inquiry asked if I would include my custom crates. That would be a hard NO! Fingers crossed I can get that rig sold this spring! That would make me so happy. It's a big chunk of change to maintain every month. To be out from under that responsibility would be nice.

More wind and rain today. Hoping it's not too windy on the drive back from picking up the RV. It's no fun to drive when the wind is gusting at high speeds. I would have like to have gone yesterday, but Ron was busy with church services all day. Ash Wednesday isn't even a Holy Day of Obligation, but you'd think it was the way people flock to get their ashes. We do like our rituals and traditions, don't we? I wonder what part of our ancient psyche thrives on such events? It must come from somewhere deep in our makeup.

A 2 hour national dog club meeting last night resulted in a lot of follow up chores for me. Boooooo..... Oh, well.... It's what I signed up for????? LOL

Liz, is Mike's child that is coming back to Ft. Lauderdale male or female? You referred to the child once as DD (and DIL) and once as DS (and DIL). I guess it doesn't matter, but I was curious which.

Not a lot going on in my world right now. I kind of like that. I am going to sub for a music teacher colleague tomorrow. First day back in the classroom since leaving. I get to teach my Special Day kids at the end of the day! I'm so happy to get to work with them again.

I shall try to have a Thankful Thursday. I'm feeling like I have much for which to be grateful.
