Hope your feet are feeling better Liz and you were able to get out and about some!

What a relief to put aside the need to be a weather warrior. Wimp out whenever on the bad weather driving: fog, rain, hail, driving east into the rising sun. We Midwesterners have done our duty.

Hello! Back to my little apartment after 2 busy days.

Ugh Liz, I'm sorry about the blisters! What a pain literally. I'm glad to hear your group liked This Tender Land. It was very popular with our school staff. Diane your ladies lunch group does sound like a great find! CC, hope the information gathering party went well and you had a good time while learning what you need to do when hosting. Peps, subbing? Can't wait to hear. I was in a chat with some of my former co workers and they encouraged me NOT to sub at our school. Once again, new sped admin and everything is a mess. Paula, post pictures please of your booth when you get it set up. Great way to see if you want to continue with selling your art.

As you could see on Facebook, the trip to the mountain area was a lot of fun. I am really tired though. We decided to stay one more night with the brother who had the condo, and arrived back here around 1pm. It's a 2 hour drive. We have lots of plans for Saturday and Sunday, and we leave Monday afternoon. We decided, mostly me, that we will stay home tonight to recuperate and get going tomorrow. DH and I will go out to eat some sort of dinner, but not sure what yet. It will be someplace we can walk to.

It snowed and iced apparently in Minneapolis the last few days. It's going to be very sad to say goodbye to all of this and return to cold weather. There are some things we want to do with the house when we get back, so we will have some projects to keep us occupied. And I do want to see my Dad as soon as possible. DH is considering whether it's time for him to stop his part-time work. He thinks we'll be okay without the extra income, but he still liked the idea of planned physical activity and some of the social aspects. I suggested he drop down to 3 days a week. Whatever he decides, it is up to him. I obviously, am having no problem not working, but I don'****ch a lot of TV. One thing he's worried about is that he will get drawn into watching all the shows he likes during the day and get nothing done. I actually don't think he would, but again, it's up to him. Anyhow, it could be another big change for us.

120.4 - I had the hungry horrors yesterday. Likely because I was bored.

Other than the Justice walk in the morning, I stayed in all day. I didn't want to deal with the bandage on my back at the beach club. I guess if I want to go today, I could have DH remove it before he goes to golf. But I would have to be very careful what I lean on with it uncovered. I feel like I am stuck doing nothing right now. In that light, I cancelled yoga for today again because of the feet. The weird thing is that I can walk on them fine because the blisters are on the sides. It is only painful when the sides of my feet touch something (like lying on my back). I had to sleep with my legs on a pillow last night.

I did get my decorations for the Golf Event I am running last week made. The theme is Wicked so I bought witches hats and magic wands for the centerpieces. I put pink and green ribbon streamers on the magic wands.

No idea what I will do today while still in limbo. Perhaps I should soak my feet as suggested by Diane S. Have a philosophical Friday!

Greetings all

The sun was out big this morning so I decided to go to my Lunch Ladies group. This is something I got invited to a year or so ago and it is an interesting group of professional women that I would not otherwise have met. One is a lawyer who is still working and recently tried a will contest case so we shared war stories about wills and elderly people being taken advantage of. Also talked about our medical issues of which I have relatively few by comparison. One woman got the sleeve about a year ago and is down about 84 pounds. We talked about how medicare now covers the sleeve but when I did it Blue Cross considered it experimental and I had to appeal to get it covered. A fun group. One woman knew DH's now deceased sister and was pleased to hear she now has a namesake.

After that it was time at the studio. I almost skipped that because it started raining heavily when I was on the freeway but cleared up by the next town. Dealt with the personal property tax return there as well as made some ravens.

Liz dang it what is to be done about those blisters? Seems like it is getting worse for you. I wonder if there is another factor? Meanwhile flip flops I guess. Foot soak might feel good.

Peps it is not surprising that people wanted the custom crates. Dog mobile!!! I bet it will sell pretty soon as it is such a nice unit. Crates or no crates. Enjoy the kid day and the fact that it is a one day job. Yep dog clubs. I bet people are saying "why don't we do xyz." which comes down to YOU doing xyz. "WE" always means the officers do the chores.

Paula score on those massages. good deal. You are indeed rocking Florida.

Not sure whats for dinner tonight. Must explore the mysteries of the freezer.
