Oh DD, I'm sorry this person called you up drunk and had to add more sting to an already hard situation! You deserve so much better!

Lovely tribute to your Mom, Diane. It sounds like she did a lot of good in her life. I am positive the memories of those times will become foremost in your mind. You mentioned having a local pastor at her funeral. My mother had also fallen away from going to church but my family's priest did the service for my mother because he was close to us even though not her. Curious about your trip: I know you delayed leaving by a week, but did you also push back your return?
We successfully picked up DS yesterday though he had to wait for us. The plane was 45 minutes early in arriving and we were booked with golf right up until the time we needed to leave for the original arrival time. No big deal though. We went to the Beach Club for dinner and DS and I shared an assortment of su****hat young man sure can eat.
My sinus infection is definitely back - all the usual symptoms fully resumed yesterday so I am back on a steroid spray. I should have taken it longer but thought that I wouldn't need it after we returned to Florida. I was wrong.
We are going south to the next town for lunch and a visit to the Cider brewery today. But first a Justice walk and yoga. And a bath for Justice. He is smelling quite doggy again. Too bad he can't take care of that himself LOL.
Have a saucy Saturday!

Oh boy. Don't need people like that to contend with. Hopefully she will be sober at the funeral.

I loved the little golf cart I had when I lived on the west coast. We aren't allowed to have them here.
Sedona in the spring should work for me. We currently have few plans though we will likely go away in March as it will be our 5th anniversary.

I am sure that the good memories will continue to arise and overtake the bad. Probably won't take a long time either.
Your DH is truly wonderful.

I read that in the comments about them.

I looked at those irrigators on Amazon - still not sure I want to try it though I am pretty sure my sinus infection is back (probably never completely went away).
Lucky that you found such good contractors!

So my Mom had a BFF who has passed away. Her daughter had a challenging relationship with her own mother, ( the BFF) but loved mine. She just called , drunk, wondering why I hadn't told her my mother passed, that she had to learn about it from another friend, that she had a pact with my Mom that my mother would call her if she needed anything, but she didn't call, that she and my mother had long talks but what they talked about, she wasn't going to say. Well, that was fun. Can't wait to see her at the funeral.
120 on the dot again.
Started the day with water aerobics, a little time sunning by our pool and then DH and I went shopping for a golf cart. Our new ride should be delivered next week!
Sickness is still lingering. I felt more congested and fatigued again today and did take a bit of a nap this afternoon. Big Mac salad for dinner.
Hope your sickness doesn't become worse Liz. And boo that CC and Bonnie are still struggling with their sickness too. Whatever this is, it is a bugger!
Sorry you are having so much discomfort Peps. And yeah, the weight gain if from surgery for sure. I know I was up quite a bit even with belly and thigh skin removed!
Enjoy your time with DS before the cruise Liz! I guess every year there is a ladies cruise with gals from my community. Sounds fun but I want to prioritize getting together with all of you first! Are we still thinking Sedona in the Spring? If so, we should set dates and perhaps get a Airbnb to house at least some of us!
DD, I know this time is difficult and overwhelming with things to do. Your Dad sounds like he is still in shock really. It may not really sink in for him until the funeral is over and he is alone. Like Diane said, take time for self care too. I'm glad DH can be with you. He indeed is a rock and a rock star! You two were made for each other!
Yay for big sun Diane and leftover pizza! We have a fridge full of leftovers right now. That is what is for dinner tomorrow night!

My mind mostly ignores the bad years at the end and focuses on the good years. I hope the same is true for you!
