120

Typing this outside of OH to copy in as it seems a little wonky this morning.

Yesterday was fairly productive. The refrigerator arrived around noon. It took 2 hours to get the old one out and the new one set up because the doors had to come off because of the way the counter protrudes. But it is humming away and producing ice and my wine cooler has returned to just holding wine.

I ordered the blinds for the bedroom yesterday. Waiting to get an appointment for them to come and measure. I also ordered a bunch of paint samples for the bedroom. After the refrigerator arrived, we went food shopping and I made chili con carne (no beans) and cauliflower hummus. I used essentially the same recipe for the chili that I used to use with beans but increased the tomatoes and peppers. It tasted great but next time I will add a larger quantity of ground turkey.

The cyst was removed quite painlessly and it didn't even hurt later when the anesthetic wore off. Because of the location, changing the bandage is impossible for me to do so I will have to have help before and after showers for a while. What a pain.

Today we walk, then I have to have lab work done. It is a fasting lab, so I haven't had coffee yet. I only drink one cup but I really need it. I will have it after my lab work. Will probably have to wait for my shower too as DH will be at the gym until after that.

We are going to Fort Lauderdale for the night to see DH's son and daughter-in-law who are here for a few days from Poland. Quick turn around - we should be gone for about 24 hours.

Not much else to report. Have a total Tuesday!

Nice to get a bit of a break with Kirby with your Dad and Claudia there.

There are definite seasons here, and in the winter it can drop close to freezing, but generally stays in the 50s during the coldest part of winter. It can snow in the mountain towns, but very infrequently.

118.8, I think the same as yesterday.

Hope you have a new refrigerator Liz! Good luck with the cyst removal, make sure they get the sack too (we watch a lot of Dr. Pimple Popper and it is imperative so it doesn?t grow back).

Events can sell out fast here too. Members get first dibs too and right now we are not members.

Water aerobics this morning, some time in the sun while listening to my you tube videos for my call in woman?s Bible study on Thursday. Working on cards for my vendor booth (pretty sure I?m going to give it a try), meet again with the manager tomorrow. I?ll probably get a bigger space for $150/month so I don?t have to solve the problem of only being able to come out 18 inches from the wall. I will still try to get only a 6 month commitment.

55 plus Bible study was a bust last night. Guy teaching it was a whack a mole with some pretty unconventional theological views and wanted everyone there to drink the koolaid too. No thank you!

Salmon with apricot glaze and grilled potatoes, red peppers and onions for dinner. Yum!

Oh wow, snow in CA. At the same time DC1 is reporting temps in the 50's in WI. Crazy weather everywhere!

Brazil certainly sounds like your happy place! Kinda of like Maui for DH1 and I! I sincerely hope you can find a way to make it a regular destination!

Greetings all

More rain here though I got out and about while it was dry. Snow is predicted inland and it could snow here though I doubt it. We get snow on the coast about once every 10 years. I know how to drive in it but no one else around here does. So it likely won't cause me to miss scrabble tomorrow unless there is a freeway mess.

So Peps you are a year older but I bet you are feeling years younger. Isn't it grand to just piddle all day. I would say your plastics were 100% successful.

CC enjoy the day trip. Always good to cruise around with a fun person. Is Phoenix about 2 hours away? Hope shopping is included.

DD does your part of Brazil get a serious winter or does it stay pretty mild? Must not be too bad if there are palms. Yep lush greenery is calming and peaceful. Enjoy the pizza.

Well Liz I hope you get the sin up done for the dance. Yes paint colors can be deceiving and choices made in the room. Amazing how many shades of beige there are. I had planned on a taupe shade for our bathroom to go with the new fixtures but none looked good and I ended up with Indian White.

So I have talked here about Runzas - the ground beef and cabbage baked into a bun sandwich from Nebraska. Tonight I am going to try making them only without the bread - just the filling. We shall see. No doubt the house will stink after I cook cabbage (got cole slaw mix).
