Where in WI will you be?

Greetings all

Sunny but cool today. Perfect for me. I washed my hair and stopped by the accountant to finalize our taxes. New staff person there is very nice and capable. Hope this person stays.

Then I went to the studio and made some new stuff. I really need to step it up as my gallery area is empty. A couple of things sold today. I sold over $1000 last month. These things are little gee gaws. Hardly high end art. Lots of sales today.

CC so Kirby has discovered deer poo. Congrats and enjoy.

Yeah Liz sounds like the house your DD has is a tear down. A friend of mine recently had to deal with a house in Topanga Canyon. It's also a tear down and full of stuff to boot. She found someone to buy it will all the crap left in place. Bulldozer time. But it sounds like DD place has stuff worth saving. What a job it would be to be a professional sorter of that stuff! I talked to a lady at a thrift store one time and she said she loved seeing what stuff came in to the store. To me, working at a thrift store would be the Little Shop of Horrors!

Peps I hope you can get that Uber to the sea in Carmel. What a great place to be. hope you are having some luck. What are you doing in North Dakota? Shows? Fargo has some. Never went to those.

DD glad you have nice weather. It's such a tonic. So much influence on mood and wellbeing. Enjoy.

DH had another vein sealing procedure today. More to go on the other leg. It seems to be no big deal but sounds icky to me. He brought some deli wraps home. Guess he is tired of being a vulture eating the chicken corpse. Costco chickens are so giant it takes days for us to eat. This one may be consumed by the raptor terriers.

There is a bear in our neighborhood. It's been spotted at the end of our street and also in a field back behind us. It's a cinnamon colored bear and is quite impressive looking; now known as the "Little Pond" bear. It seems to have learned the garbage schedule. There is a green belt and creek and scraggly woods behind us so I guess thats where it hides out. But there is also a homeless camp (allegedly I have not seen it).

Paula good to hear that DC is doing better. Major mood lifter for you.

Cheers. Diane S

Kirby is now a true Carter golden having had his inaugural feast of deer droppings which he then yakked all over my floor. Twice. Dogs are GROSS.

My folks are gone for a few days, so all by myself! Except for the yakker. I made the enchilada soup today so I'd have something easy to eat the next few days. It wasn't as good! I think I put in too many onions. Should have stuck to half an onion. I also got lazy and did canned fire roasted corn and used the whole thing. So too much corn. I think the two things watered it down too much. Or my taster is off.

First post shot day and eating less has been easier today. Another possible cause of my overeating of late was it's apparently that time of the month. Except I'm peri-menopausal, so who knows when it will bother to show up! This one was 58 days between. Last time was 54. I'm a clock winding down... I'm ready. Bring it on.

Today I worked on the next newsletter for my HOA and found out a bunch of people never got the last one. So too much time spent today trying to figure out how the management company messed that up. Apparently it's their email system and we are not the only community they manage having this issue. Hopefully our manager will have it straightened out for this next one.

The scale was down a teeny bit so I am 0.2 up from 40 pounds lost. Again!

I think that may be everything for me. Hope you all are having a good day!!

PS - I laughed out loud reading Diane's description yesterday of she and DH continuing "to feed upon the carcass of the Costco chicken." Excellent visual!

Good news that your eldest is doing well.

Genius!
