Greetings all

Everyone is early today including me! The sun is out and it seems calm although there are beach warnings for big waves. It is the king tide time of year which is due to the position of earth to the moon and sun in orbit which is about as much as I can explain. There will likely be some flooding along the coast. I have had my brunch and am getting ready to go out - must visit the gym. After that I will go buy clay and hit the studio. The low temperature at night has resulted in frost warnings but not a hard freeze.

Goodness DD stay home today!! No need to subject yourself to cold. Yeah cold air really messes with skin plus the heated air inside. I used to get a terrible face rash when I skied that needed cortisone. Hope you can avoid that. And hey no rush on the Christmas stuff. I like colored lights but all are good. Our neighborhood is full of inflatable Santas and such. Lots of kids around here. A book that was highly recommended to me by someone I respect is "Memoirs of a Polar Bear". I downloaded it but have not read it. Might be a good tea book.

Liz china hutches are rare things these days. Seems like the second hand option is a good one but I don't blame you for not wanting to paint one. Many years ago I painted the kitchen cupboards in my first house. Major pain. GL with soup!

So DH has recently become concerned with his balance and mobility. He has some kind of device that is a balance board. You stand on it and it wiggles around and allegedly improves your balance. I tried it once and hated it. But he is on a mission so I will go with it. Walking the treadmill which is a good thing. Of course walking on treadmill includes watching news and talking back to the tv.

Peps you are so close! We are rooting for you. Look forward to hearing about the school visit.

No clue on dinner tonight. I will think about it later.

I got Chinese takeout on Sunday night and ate that for several meals (there's more, But i'm tired of it). Last night I got a pasta dish from Wildflower (I was going for soup and salad, but it was cold and salad at the last minute didn't sound good). I have the laundry room fridge and I can get to the microwave as that's in the pantry out of the blast zone. I also can reach the air fryer, so maybe I'll think of something for that?

I haven't been back to my building either and so far I really don't want to visit. My feelings might change as more time goes by. I did meet up with coworkers off site when they went out for lunch on a workshop day, and I enjoyed that immensely.

Yeah, I don't like work people on my home either (as I sit on the lanai listening to the guys in the kitchen). I hope you will be able to get into your kitchen stuff over the next few days? I didn't think through today well as these guys are here all day and everything in the kitchen is covered in plastic. I was able to sneak my arm into a cabinet to grab a box of crackers and I had a protein drink accessible but that's all I have to eat. The sisters went to the beach club and will eat there and DH will eat at the clubhouse after golf. I did text him and ask that he bring some soup with a spoon when he comes home (I can't access the utensils either).

I would definitely not go out in that weather!!!!
