We did a quick (34-hour) run to Kentucky the last two days for a few medical and other appointments for DF. We also had dinner with his daughter Tuesday night, which was lovely. You'd think that driving nearly 1,000 miles in 36 hours would crater two old goats like us, but happily it doesn't. I guess one can build road trip stamina, and we've certainly done enough road trip reps to condition our sitting muscles. :)

Today will be easy--a few errands, laundry, and ironing.

On the fat boob topic, I wish I had a bit more fat in mine. I infrequently receive a post-mammo message that I need to have a follow-up ultrasound because my dense breastage makes it impossible for the hospital to give me an all-clear. Honestly, I also think the hospital just wants to bill Medicare for a second procedure.

CC, I had no idea Pledge was good for door sills. Thanks for that.

Sorry about the puppy's teeth, Peps. Sounds like someone's going to get a wonderful pet.

Liz, we're all rooting for the weekend to be wonderful. The newly landscaped bench looks great!

Diane S, is there someone you can call (Geeks LLC?) to come over and figure out the new TV?

DiamondD, enjoy your personal day. I have zero doubts you deserve it for any or no reason.

Paula, ditto re your free evening. I love being with DF, but I treasure any multi-hour slot to be alone these days.

Lizanne, thinking of you.

Ya'll do your thang!

Weight 120.6. 2 days until the wedding. The housekeeper comes for the last time this morning, DS arrives around noon, DD and her DF arrive early afternoon. Some of their friends arrive late afternoon so there is dinner out with a few of them this evening. In the meantime I am getting my hair done and DH is escaping to his house to do some work there to prepare for the move in from my house next week.

Yesterday I signed the papers for the house sale in 2 weeks. All paperwork is in.

I may have mentioned in the past that we have a memorial bench for my eldest DD and deceased DH on the harbor. My daughter wants to have some family photos taken there after the wedding (it is fairly close to where the wedding is). Unfortunately the town didn't trim the bushes at all this summer along that side of the harbor even though it technically is a town park. Some of the residents on the street cut them further down but no one trimmed in front of the bench. So DH and I did it yesterday afternoon so the views in the pictures will be much improved. I did feel like a bit of a criminal though. See picture below for the difference. We just evened out the really high areas with the lower ones on each side.

I am looking forward to having no major commitments after we get to Florida in 18 days.

Time to get moving as I have to be out of here in 90 minutes. Have a thoughtful Thursday!

Oh, there are a few doggie dentists, but the problem is that a bad mouth is genetic and can be passed down. Don't want to breed dogs that need orthodontia. In my line of dogs there is a predisposition to have a narrow jaw as a puppy, but the jaw self corrects about the same age as the baby teeth fall out and the adult teeth come in. Bug is not showing this correction. Fingers crossed....

Greetings all

Fat ass boobs unite! It's good to know that I am not the only person in the world whose mama report says almost entirely fat. Guess it's a good thing as it means non dense. Also, If I were on the titanic I would have my own flotation device. Come to think of it, I have always been a good floater.

So I started the day with my treadmill walk. I increased the time by a tiny bit as I realized how pathetically low my distance was. Baby steps. Still have not figured out the tv issue. After that it was studio time and glazing. Not sure if my preferred kiln will fire this week.

Yay DD on good report from your clinic. You are so right to do this and so is your clinic. Enjoy the weekend any maybe meet DS girlfriend??

Ok Liz get ready to enjoy the benefits of all your planning and effort. Have a great time.

Yeah Paula I remember seeing medical reports in connection with legal issues. They always said "well nourished". None said "over-nourished"'

CC seems like no one wants books anymore yet we hate to toss them. I am actually impressed you unpacked them after only two years. Has it really been that long since you moved?

Peps sorry about Bug's teeth. My dentist back in the midwest told me he once fixed a sheltie's teeth with a vet running the anesthetic. Wonder what sort of bet he lost!

More chili tonight. I did not eat any last night as I had a half cheeseburger left from lunch and was not hungry. Just ate some tuna salad which hits the spot.

It's been overcast all day. Fall is coming....

The charting of "fat" in the medical chart was often "well developed and nourished ". I remember reading a boyfriend's doctor visit notes and that is what it stated (many patient charts I read stated the same). He asked what that meant and I said they are nicely calling you fat. Today's chart usually include your BMI and where you fall in that spectrum. My chart actually reads medicine induced obesity as a condition I have which I have no idea where they came up with that!
