Yes, Justice is an unusual chihuahua. Our prior one would go around the block but after that she had to be carried. Justice is more like our beagles with his stamina.

I am sure you would end up replacing a lot of furniture over time to make the place more yours anyway. I certainly have. The only rooms where the furniture is unchanged are the main guest room and the kitchen table.

I hope those antibiotics are working for your father. I will have to look into that shoulder device - my unreplaced one does get very sore at times.

That makes me laugh. When we got our yellow lab puppy, each chid was assigned to take the puppy for a short walk so she would learn to use the leash, and get a little tired. So I'm driving home and I see DD carrying the puppy in her arms. Mission not accomplished. Eventually though puppies grow, and you can't carry a full grown lab, so Bella did have to do her own walking.

We leave for Brazil January 12 and return February 23. Once we're home, and read the mail, and visited my parents, and taken care of a few things, I think we'll need another trip somewhere warmer in the US. Unless it's an unusual year, winter will not be done with us in March.

Another busy day in Florida and another beautiful day weather wise!

Today we bought a gas grill, bought a sleeper sofa and matching chair for the den, I ordered a desk and file cabinet for the office, patio furniture was delivered and DH and I started putting it together. Whew! And our PODs have not even been delivered so we have all the unpacking to do too!!

While the house is furnished, upon closer inspection, several items are in poor repair. We can put up with some of it for a bit but I continue to see purchase in our future!

Wishing you no snow DD (at least until right before Christmas). When do you leave for Brazil again?

Rain, rain go away for CC, but yay on no leaks in the house! Glad you Dad is getting better and had agreed to stay in the hospital a bit longer. Dang infections!

Diane, yay for big sun and meetings in PJs!

Liz, we take the dogs for a walk too but it is a super short one. I'm impressed that Justice will go so long. Our pooches never did! When they were younger, we tried and ended up having to carry them!

Greetings all

Big sun here. My day started early with a studio board zoom meeting. I attend in my bathrobe and pjs. All is going well but the issue of us buying our building has come up again. I would rather avoid that but fear we cannot. The studio remodel has been amazing and it looks great. So much more room.

Liz that dinner sounds great. Fun event. I am always amazed at how much socializing you pack in. I would have to rest for a week after any one of those.

I had the shingles shot(s) last fall. I don't remember it being any big deal. Got flu and covid this fall. The covid was the only one that gave me a sore arm for a few days. Anyway, y'all should do the shingles. Icky disease.

Glad you have a dry house CC. Always preferable. Good to know about the frozen shoulder exercise device. The disease I have in my hands (Dupuytren's Contracture) is often paired with frozen shoulder. Glad you are getting improvement. Also glad your Dad is staying in the hospital for a bit to knock this infection out. Is he happy with small screen football? Hope so. Agreed, the garlic in a tube is a good thing. Ditto ginger in a tube.

The house is getting cleaned now and I will go to the gym when that is finished and maybe to the studio again. Have banking I must get done.

Yeah Apple tv has good stuff. I especially like the Morning Show. Such intrigue. We need to start the American Revolution series but also have junk tv to catch up on like Palm Royale. Speaking of junk, watched an episode of Landman Monday. It is so sexist I can hardly stand it

DD stay warm. So you feel any different without tamoxifen? Hope so and good to not have it messing with weight.

We ate the last of the deli bbq last night so tonight is an all new dinner frontier. Maybe mac and cheese though I do have ingredients for red lentil soup that looked good. Maybe later in the week.
