Your friends must be amazing scrabble players - hence the shark nickname!

No, bocce was not on the original spreadsheet but we added it LOL.

So you can take a nap and still sleep at night? I envy people who can do that. DH takes a nap more days than not, then sleeps like a log at night. If I try to nap I either lie awake the whole time or I fall too deeply asleep and am in a fog when I wake up. In the latter situation I usually can't sleep that night.

Can't say I miss the cold weather. I am not looking forward to dealing with it for 13 days around Christmas. It is also darker as we have an extra hour of light in Florida in the winter.

I wonder if being distractible is why my DH has to have a plan for every day? Because he can be sometimes too. Someone here (CC or maybe Paula?) had a plan to fill at least one bag with stuff to donate or throw per week from the areas that required cleanup. Maybe setting a time on working in those areas once a week would help in getting them straightened to your satisfaction?

I love peppermint ice cream with the candy pieces so I bet I would like this shake!

No turkey! It isn't one of my preferred proteins. It has a funny taste to me. We always do chicken instead. Better flavor and more moist!

Greetings Peeps Peps and Pups

More sun today. Don't know what we did to deserve this. The day started with Scrabble. I had the Shark on the ropes - 80 points ahead - and then he bingoed out and won. So unfair! I got stuck with a whole lot of penalty points. Rats. One the second and lost the third. These people are getting too good for me. I had one 90 point play which was not enough.

What a great family gathering you describe Liz. Glad the younger one showed an interest in Bocce ball. A game for all ages. Is that on the spreadsheet?

Well Peps sooner or later you will get over the need to be doing something useful all the time. Computer games count anyway. And wow that is a lot of dog grooming. Offices are meant to be a mess. I f they are not, nothing is happening.

DD a log on the fire sounds great. Stay warm. I miss having a fire place.

So I stopped at the studio for a bit and got some glazing done. The new arrangement is grand.

No clue on dinner tonight. I had planned a store trip but skipped out. Freezer exploration to come.

So DD the occasional tachycardia episode is normal and not worrisome. But it does seem like they are a little more frequent so hence the idea of getting an apple watch to track them. If they get more frequent I will see the doctor.

Time to explore the freezer.

Diane I've been meaning to ask, how is the tachycardia acting? It seems you've had two episodes recently? Not worrisome enough to go to the doctor, or are you following up?

Speaking of not popping out of bed easily in the winter solstice days, I just got up from a nap. It is raining here, and after my workout I felt knackered as Aussie sister says, so I thought maybe a little nap would be good. All snuggled under the comforter with the sound of the rain hitting the window felt so lovely and cozy. I'm up now, enjoying a cup of tea and a biscotti. If we watch any shows tonight, definitely need a log in the fire.

Besides being cozy in the house, the sound of rain is welcome because it is not snow. The weather report I saw at noon said it will turn to snow around sundown, and we could get 3-5 inches. The longer it rains, the less snow that will fall. It was 46 when I went to the gym this morning. I think it's the last day for some time when I won't need gloves or a heavier coat. Weather guy said it will drop below freezing tonight, and won't rise above freezing for the foreseeable future. We had a very good run of fall weather. Time to hunker down. Yesterday i took all the fall/thanksgiving decorations off the porch in preparation for the switch over to Christmas ones. Apparently, just in time.

DS sent us a picture of his girlfriend and him on their bikes in front of Elvis' Palm Springs home. Pretty cool.

My Mom has been texting me about starting Hospice. I don't know if she will do it or not, but I feel like they could make whatever time she has left more comfortable. We'll see. I'm just focusing on how we will get her to Thanksgiving and back this week. But if she does want to explore Hospice, I am onboard with helping set that up.
