I would have DH wash your hair too! I loved when someone else washes mine!

Greetings all
Early check in for me as I put off stuff I should be doing. Not quite ready to drive yet though I think I could. Right hand grip is not there but better each day. I am emailing pictures to my doctor. He is so encouraging.
Wow Liz your living room and patio indeed look like a decorator magazine! Perfect use of the lines and color. You have a gift. Hope your guest appreciate it.
Yay CC on cool weather. I love that rain smell too. Enjoy the art fair. Hope you find some goodies. '
Paula so sorry DSM is so ill. Not easy. Hope family follows medical advice. It's hard to set aside emotional impulses. Hoping for a good resolution.
Yeah Peps take your hooky days. Just do it. You earned it. Skip the squirrel cage class.
DH is out to lunch with his friends and will bring me a grilled tri tip sandwich. He will also run a studio errand for me. I am milking my injury for all its worth. Music will be faced soon enough. Meanwhile my big adventure is to put on latex gloves and try to wash my hair. I am looking forward to gym visit in a day or two. With some padding I should be able to hold on to treadmill. Feeling blessed.

Taking a quick break. The graveyard tour was very atmospheric with the beautiful super moon. This morning we had booked a private historical tour, which ended up cancelled, so we pivoted to a duck boat tour. I've been on several (Boston, Missouri, Wisconsin) so the novelty of going from street to water isn't so striking, but being up higher driving through the city gives great sight lines. Lots of charming old homes. In a few minutes we're going to take a walk on the beach, and then another early dinner before a carriage ride. Traveling with DHs brother, who is 10 years older should be kind of slow, but they are really on the move! I'm actually getting tired and wouldn't mind some downtime. Probably won't happen until I get on the plane Sunday.
Happy Friyay!
I have been having fun teasing my team about not coming in on certain days. I have 5 weeks of accrued sick leave I feel like dipping in to over my last year. We were talking about a specific day's lessons next week, and I chimed in with, "Oh yeah, I'm taking that day off!" Oh, the looks! LOL! Just kidding say I! However, I can see several Monday afternoons getting a sub. I dislike my two classes on Monday afternoons - intensely! Behavior is atrocious and seemingly acceptable in their classrooms. UGH... I also don't like the traffic issues on Tuesday mornings. I can see taking a few Tuesdays off between now and May 30, 2025, too. I'm so, so bad! But I enjoy my wicked thoughts.
Weight still up. BOOOOOOO!!!! But dang, my workout yesterday was super intense. Felt great! I'm aware that with less body weight I am able to move my body more easily through space. One plus about being obese is that it builds great lower body strength. I am reaping the benefits of that now.
Dog shows this weekend. Fingers crossed. Buster still is not reliable in behavior, but I'm hoping the more we do it, the more he remembers and is able to focus.
Freaky Friday! HAHAHAHA!
154.8. Boring day at home alone. Trying to do better at getting my protein in. Will down a Fairlife pretty soon!
We are in the mid 60's and it is supposed to get warmer the next few days! That's good since we need to do the Fall trimming of the landscaping and get the debris curbside (free pickup for a few weeks, saves a trip or two to the dump)
Some medical drama with DH's first wife's sister (*****ally is like a second Mom to DSD). She is in respiratory failure after having Pulmonary Emboli in both lungs and a subsequent collapsed lung. She had gone off her blood thinners to have a biopsy for a mass in one of her lungs (possible cancer) but then developed the PEs. The poor family can't see the forest through the trees as they are insisting that she still have the biopsy that she is not stable enough respiratory wise to have. They want her transferred to a level one hospital. They just don't seem to get that her respiratory failure is much more likely to kill her in the immediate future than the possible cancer. I know they are just really scared and not thinking clearly. We will go see her in the hospital as soon as DH gets home from work. DSD is just crazy with worry!

Looks great, Liz!
I am beside myself with joy as after a month in the mid 90s, it is 49 and raining this morning. I love it! So much so I got up early just to enjoy it and stood outside in slippers and sweats inhaling the petrichor smell. There is absolutely no better smell in the desert than rain.
The Sedona Plein Air Festival starts today with a week of painting events. I'm going to two. I'm excited to see the painters in the outdoors and the artists all bring art and there is a big sale at the end. And there is no sales tax given it's through the Sedona Arts Center, which is a big deal when your sales tax is 10.4%.
Just the HOA budget meeting on tap for today. Take care all...
Liz that looks like a photo from a magazine! Absolutely gorgeous.
Weight 118.8. Yesterday's low must have been an anomaly - maybe I was dehydrated.
I found tables for the lanai yesterday so the room is essentially done (before and after pictures below). Last night we went to a dinner dance at the beach club. We were afraid it would be too windy but they have installed some great screens to block the wind so it was no problem. Good company and great music. It's nice to be back!
Today we pick up our first visitor for the season. DS finished working the convention in Orlando yesterday so we are picking him up at 10:30. We will stop at our favorite restaurant on the water in Cocoa Beach on the way back.
Have a fine Friday!
