The foot licker continues to sneak in his licks! I'm sure it doesn't feel good. Like giant popped blisters on his feeties.
Today I am off to get my hair colored and cut. I've had a lot more hair loss in the last few months. I'm sure I could always do better on my protein. I'm taking my iron and my doctor upped my anti-thyroid meds (having your thyroid off in either direction can cause hair loss). But it's probably most likely the protein. I haven't been on the scale in eons. I'm ostriching having lost my mojo in the last month. I'm on the highest dose, but the carb food noise is back with vengeance.
Later I need to plant a little. Who would have thought 21 plants would be a lot to plant (haha, what was I thinking)! I'm planting 3 a day. The ground is rock hard, so that's more work than it sounds... My inner thighs and rear are so sore from it. Funny what muscles engage with different tasks that you wouldn't expect.
Last night I did a deep tidy of the kitchen. I am so bad about not putting things away. The piles of stuff -unread magazines, papers, Amazon purchases, confiscated dog toys and other dog paraphernalia, reusable grocery bags, clean dishes, and collections of food packages on the counters (instead of putting things back in the pantry after using or shopping), were creating a lot of visual clutter. I'm not a dirty person - everything is clean including dishes, counters, stove etc - but Lordy am I messy! I think it starts with not everything having a home to put it away and then it expands to nothing getting put away, even things with a home because clutter attracts clutter. Sigh.
Anyway, off to get showered. Take care!
WOW! More excitement than is needed for a vacation Monday morning!
I didn't intend to be posting yet, but we've had a little adventure. At 7am their was an announcement that a fire had been reported in the building, and we must evacuate. As we came down the stairs from the 8th floor we could smell smoke, so not a false alarm. The restaurant's kitchen was on fire! So many fire trucks! The sweet hotel manager was standing with a clipboard, calling out people's names, Miss Amy, are you here? No,... Mr . Ryan? Then suddenly Miss Amy would yell I'm here! And so on. It was like an SNL skit. We're back in the room, deciding where to have breakfast, as it won't be at the hotel today.
121 - just about 1 pound above pre-vacation weight (and within my fluctuation weight). Apparently bathroom time yesterday helped.
Taxes are filed. I hate going through that every year and this year was especially complex due to the sale of 2 homes.
Due to DD and Diane S comments yesterday, I am going to put together a list of information on how to get into my accounts for my POA in case I am incapacitated and ask DH to do the same.
Muggy, warm weather here. Yesterday there was a threat of thunderstorms all day, but we went to the beach club for a while because it was sunny. We left at 2 because it looked like they were coming, but then it cleared and didn't rain until about 8 or 9 last night. We should have stayed though it did give us the time to do our financial meeting and finalize the taxes. We decided to cancel our boat club membership. We just aren't using it enough to justify the monthly cost.
We are going to get out to walk just before 7:30 because I have water aerobics at 9. It has been 3 weeks since I went last. Possibly Beach Club again after that.
Have a marvelous Monday!

Oh my goodness - poor Kirby!
Yes, you do live in a rough climate for anything needing water or shade. Beautiful but harsh.

Vivian and family have support nearby! How lucky they all are.
And yum to pot roast. I haven't made one in years. I think I like the vegetables cooked with them as much or more than the meat.

That makes sense: You do need a lot of it!
