Wednesday, November 27, 2024 - Thanksgiving Eve?

Still no weight today (at Universal hotel this morning).

Be forewarned that OH has been very finicky this morning. So copy what you write before pressing Submit!

Yesterday actually went well - my knees and feet didn't hurt much, just a bit of strain in my back by the time we quit at 5. DH's Ex had a rental scooter due to knee problems after having one replaced about 6 months ago and the other one needing to be done. DH commented a couple of times about how old she looked though she is several years younger than we are. A 9 hour day with half a corn dog for lunch. I'd never had one. It was pretty good but half was enough. Last night we had burgushi at a place called Cowfish. They had sushi and hamburgers but also these things that looked like sushi but were made of beef and cheese. Interesting concept.

This morning we are meeting for breakfast in 2.5 hours, then we drive back to our place, picking Justice up along the way. By the end of the day 9 people will be at the condo and we are all going to the clubhouse for prime rib night. We had to explain the dress code to the kids - no denim and no activewear shorts. They are at the age where that seems very foreign to them. Tonight 3 of us are sleeping at the hotel across the street and 6 in the condo (plus Justice). I wonder if Justice will sleep with someone? He is a great snuggler.

In re-reading this, I just realized that most of the comments on company are around the food. No wonder we all focus on food so much.

No news on funeral arrangements yet though that is no surprise with the logistics involved. I need to call some family friends who I am still close with today. I don't relish that.

Time to let the light in from the outside. Have a thoughtful Thanksgiving Eve!

DF is doing bloodwork at his urologist's this morning while I sit in the car. Funny observation: I have never seen so many old men getting in and out of cars and going through the same door.

Afterwards they must have joined us in viewing the movie Conclave, as there was not a person under 60 in the theater. Hello my people!

LOL - My eldest DD had to see a urologist in her last year because she had a surgery which required their skills. The waiting room would be all older men and us.

With no bladder or prostate and down to one dodgy kidney, my dad spends a lot of time in urology departments. He always says despite his age and missing parts, he's still the healthiest guy in there by a mile!

That's awesome!

Your first corn dog?!!!! I hope it was a decent one, as some are much better than others, says the lady who has tried so very many. They're one of my favorite junk foods.

We stayed at the Royal Pacific Hotel years ago during the great recession, when they were practically giving away the rooms ~ top drawer vacation, we loved it. Years later, when my kids were in college, we ended up in Cabana Bay at Christmas (long story, my whole family was supposed to go, but they all cancelled). Still one of my very favorite Christmases. I woke up before everyone else and instead of running around trying to orchestrate the celebration, I drank coffee by the pool under a palm tree. Must do that again some day.

Slept in this morning, and it feels great. Its time to get going on a few things. DS and his girlfriend arrive around 9pm this evening. DD isn't here until tomorrow morning at 8am. She leaves Boston in the wee small hours of the morning, hopefully before any of the big weather they're talking about on the east coast.

I think the weather people like to make stories bigger than the often are so they get more screen time. It looks like Massachusetts will mainly have rain.

I got up, peed, weighed, started getting ready for a quick shower. Brr, very cold in the house, put on my robe and went downstairs to turn up the thermostat. Came back upstairs, and discovered I needed to poop. I had not eaten or drank, not showered yet and soaked my hair, so I did what any sane, thinking person would do, and weighed myself again. I paused for a moment to admire the lower number, and then got on with the day. Some days, things just work out for the best. :)
