118.6. Like Liz, our weather is cold. Not quite as bad as hers but still in the high 30's this morning. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm enough for water aerobics, we shall see. My warm enough is higher than others!
Finished setting up my vendor booth today. I see that most of you have already seen the post on FB so I won't put on TT as well. Fingers crossed that my art sells!
We had lunch out today at our favorite lobster roll place! Soooo good!
I think dinner will be snacking. I'm going to thaw out some of that Asian soup I made during the last cold snap for dinner tomorrow.
So DD got an unexpected extra day of vacation! Hopefully all goes well for the rest of the trip. Never feels right when you have to change travel plans due to issues with the plane.

Cute story about your Dad snd his girlfriend! I wonder if she has several boyfriends? Sorry his cognitive decline is steadily increasing. Always hard to watch!
Enjoy your early Spring!

Good for you for still going on the walk even if you have to wear full winter gear! You have more gumption than I!
Crazy about the snow, cold and power outages out East!

201.3 - I find these up, downs so annoying. Up almost 2 pounds from yesterday. I don't care that it's water... It is still annoying.
Terse mood was interrupted by a good workout yesterday early evening, but was fully back in place by 7 or 8 pm.
Gloomy-ish day here, but thankfully warm, mild gloom. We're almost 30 degrees warmer here than in Florida! It's 62 here. We are supposed to get a few spatters of rain today, but not much. Most of the rain will be to the north of us until tonight. Once the rain passes through, no rain in the forecast for the next 10 days. We really seem to be having an early spring.
Dad visit yesterday. He's doing okay, but the cognitive decline is seems pretty steady now. He's a little less of himself each week. But it's clear he still finds joy in living. Yesterday he had a girlfriend. She came in and sat while Dad and I visited. They held hands sitting on his couch for a few seconds before she darted off as quickly as she came in. Dad said she comes and goes all day long like that. It's charming. He's having a lot of arthritis pain in his hands. He has loss of kidney function so his docs don't want him taking ibuprofen and prescribe Tylenol, which is really not effective at managing the swelling and pain. Yesterday I message his NP and asked for a script for ibuprofen, mentioning that my brother and I are more concerned about his daily comfort than his "life expectancy". Fingers crossed she grants our request. If not, I'll be slipping him ibuprofen each time I visit.
Not too much on the schedule today. Trimming dogs, a workout, cleaning and some laundry. Retirement is nice.

Still cold here (35), but nothing like in the Northeast. Essentially all of Cape Cod is out of power and it may be days until it is restored. Travel is banned there and in 4 other coastal counties. It may be worse than the Blizzard of 78 which I experienced when there was a travel ban and no power for 5 days. My SIL and other friends are hunkered down there, mostly keeping warm by gas fireplaces. No cooking so lots of peanut butter sandwiches. I wish SIL had gone to her son's home the day before the storm but she is too independent and stubborn sometimes.
Speaking of time since VSG yesterday, I received a survey from my bariatric surgeon's office asking questions about how happy I am with my health, etc. Well constructed survey asking meaningful questions and not overly long. I was happy to respond to it.
DD should be arriving around 7:30 tonight. It looks like Westchester Airport is open again. Though they did get a lot of snow in her area it wasn't nearly as bad as some other coastal areas in the Northeast. And she never lost power. All other Northeast family seems to be doing well and with power (other than SIL).
Time to get my down jacket, earmuffs and gloves on for our morning walk. I have someone coming to measure for new blinds in my master bedroom this morning.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

If it stays cold today and tonight even if it warms up in the morning tomorrow the pool water may be too cold. Most pool heaters don't function when the air temperature gets too low (to conserve energy). I usually go on Wednesdays too but I am not counting on it.

I have those crabby days sometimes too. Might have come from those weird dreams the prior night. Both were doozies!

That really is spectacular!

She flies to our even tinier airport 10 minutes from our home from there.

Oh, and I was apparently hot during the night and had a dream that I threw a screaming fit in front of guests about the thermostat (in typical dream fashion, my house was not my house and my dad was not one of the guests, but I know that my annoyance at how hot he likes it was the source!).
So today I changed the sheets and took the comforter off for the season as it doesn't seem to be cooling off soon.
