I have been AWOL from the gym. I will commit in front of you and everyone else to go work out tomorrow.
Wow CC, that traffic would be super irritating. Is the public land everyone is hiking state owned? They need to create a parking lot somewhere, and run shuttles. This is not safe.

Brilliantly sunny, but windy and cold here today. I braved the hikers and went to the store for ingredients to make Senate Bean Soup. Really jus****er, a ham hock, navy beans, and an onion. I plan to add carrots. It's simmering now. Apparently it's been made at the Senate building every day but one for 110 years. Can't be all bad! I do love online shopping apps. They told me the only store with a ham hock was Walmart in Cottonwood, so I braved Walmart. Which was a breeze compared to the road to my house. One friend almost hit a person walking down the middle of the road, who decided they wanted to be on the right and with zero situational awareness, walked in front of their car. 3 point turns in the middle of the road to get a parking spot, bumpers sticking out several feet into traffic, walking 4 abreast on the two lane road. All multiplied times hundreds of cars. Dreadful. (They just closed 1 of the 2 main roads into Sedona because of "multiple accidents". The speed limit is 35, mind you. How do you manage to get into an accident?).
I did reschedule the car update...
They are getting closer to finishing the decking. Slow going.
My folks are having quite the nasty storm. Their power is out as it is for thousands with a feels like of -3. Thank goodness for generators and phone hotspots for internet! The local tribe has opened their casino for a shelter to help those without a generator.
Anyway, will report on the soup. Take care all!
Greetings all
The sun is out and the dogs are basking on the deck. DH is basking in his big chair. I am making a plan for the day whi*****ludes quite a bit of studio time. When it is sunny in the winter my south window gets some intense sun which results in clay stuff drying out quickly. Kiln opens today but I don't think I have anything. I must get more stuff made this year. I did the gym yesterday but think I will skip today. The chicken last night was good but now there is a lot leftover so need another plan.
Yep Paula tile floors demand cleaning. Since we got rid of the carpet our floors seem more dirty. I know the dogs track in the same amount so no telling how much was in that old carpet when it got tossed. We have been a month without the house cleaner and it shows. Enjoy the mail order dinners.
Safe travels Liz. Justice will no doubt groove on the warmth. You too.
Not much else. I need to make some eggs and get going. It does not seem like Monday but this month has been a blur.

121.2, well within my up, down, up down range! Fast food didn't do damage!
Water aerobics was fun this morning! I won't go the next several days due to the cold front that Liz mentioned. Perhaps a good walk instead! No biggie if I have to bundle up a bit for a walk!
Thinking I will take down Christmas decorations tomorrow. Also need to clean the floors again. Seems like the all tile floors get dirty fast. Carpet probably just hid it more! Dusting is in order too!
Hello Fresh came today, so that will be 3 meals this week. My favorite chicken Schwarma bowls, a chicken fajita lettuce wrap and just in time for the cold weather, chicken chili!
Safe travels home Liz! One warm afternoon to enjoy before it gets chilly!

117.4 - down .8, why I don't know.
The house is more or less ready though the kitchen faucet broke yesterday so last minute cleanup of dishes is via the bathroom sink. DH is delegating responsibility for getting it fixed to his DD and husband. Will be interesting to see if they take care of it or we have to do it when we return in late spring.
A few last minute things to do this morning like putting the tabletop Christmas tree back in the basement. We still wanted to be able to sit by it with coffee this morning. We leave in about 45 minutes and should be home by 3 at the latest (if our flight is on time). We had been taking Breeze airline between our local Florida airport and Providence previously but JetBlue just added flights to that airport from Boston so we are taking it back. The airport in Florida is tiny so it is a challenge for them to juggle two major airlines.
It will be 80 when we arrive but tomorrow the high is supposed to be 63 with a low of 38. Yikes!
Have a Midnight Kiss Monday!

You must be so happy to be done with the driving! I felt that was all we did while we were here. We may have driven the equivalent of one-way from Florida while here. Yeah, I saw the forecast. I am guessing I won't be in water aerobics on Wednesday either (though it may not be held with the holiday anyway). Welcome back to Florida! I hope to be back at my home by 3 today.

What an amazing holiday you had this year! Your heart must be full. And prospects of a wedding and possibly DD coming back home on top of that. Lucky you!

My tech skills are fading fast. Amazing how things change. We will need to check out that series. My DH loves rom coms (exploding aliens not so much).

I didn't know this was a prime travel week there. That's not fun when you are a local!
Sounds like Kirby is quite pleased to be back at home. I would reschedule the software update too.
Good news that your Dad might be up to visiting in February. He must be feeling much better!
