I can lounge and read all day very happily. Unfortunately I rarely have the time to do so. DH has a tough time doing that other than at the beach.

You should have your place the way you want it! In the past I almost never bought any new furniture when I moved and rarely bought multiple pieces at one time. With the Florida living room walls and lanai redone, I am feeling the urge to replace most of the furniture in those 2 rooms. I may just do that with the unexpected extra money I am getting for my house.

Up early again today to travel from DH's house to mine. I have several appointments near my house starting with PT at 9:30, then we have to drive to NY tomorrow. I need to be packed up and on the road by 8:15 (it is 6 now). I had moved a lot of stuff here before we went to Florida in preparation for showing the house so now I need to move it back.

Our travels yesterday were smooth but it was a long day after getting up so early. Justice was thrilled to see us and we took him for a neighborhood walk last night which he was super happy about. So nice to have him snuggling in my lap. DH will take him for a beach walk which he loves after I leave, then come back to my house with him this afternoon. As an aside, when we were at our beach club in Florida we found out that the part of the beach it is on is dog friendly. So we can park at our beach club and take Justice down the path next to the clubhouse to take him for walks there.

I so wish we could stay put for a few days but not until late Saturday when we will get a full week back at my house before we have anything planned. Time to start packing. Have a tautological Thursday!

Greetings all

It's sunny and nice here. House got cleaned this morning. I had a 9am zoom meeting for the studio board which I attended in a bathrobe. Things are going well though the proposed face lift for the front of the building is pretty amorphous. I suggested someone come up with a sketch of how it would look. These people are all artists. Continued argument about who is supposed to paint the building - looking at lease would be much too efficient. After all that I spent some time at the studio and got some glazing done. After that, trip to the store to get chicken to cook for our totally spoiled dogs. Their kibble last night had some deli roast beef on it. They were highly offended and refused to eat any of it. Later I discovered one had ralphed on the bed cover so had to rinse that off. Bed cover is now in the custody of the laundromat which will do the washing for you but it won't be ready until tomorrow. Fine with me - it's not cold.

Also got a steak since we are sick of the deli enchiladas. They are good but it's too much for two sleevers. (autocorrect wrote "sleepers").

Liz hope you recieve this having safe and timely travels. I have often thought that going to the airport is like checking into a mental institution - you don't know what they will do you nor when you can leave.

Yes, the lounging gene. I certainly have it on both chromosomes. It's my dominant gene. Sounds like Bonnie and DD have ia bit of it too! Must be a midwestern thing. I do have a talent for endless loafing. My mother and grandmother were the kind of people who could not sit still for long and were always busy with something. Not me. Maybe at the root of my weight issues. Moving around does count.

CC glad things are better at the infirmary. Also glad you are not sick. Makes me think about covid and all the times we felt a scratchy throat and worried what that might mean. Edible bubbles?? What are those made from? And hey, enjoy the designer furniture! Why not?

Cheers. Diane S

Some of us have "the gift of lounging". I am a lounger. I like to get things done, and don't mind some busyness, but I also can sit in a comfy chair for a long, long time and be so content : )
