No weight yet but I might get on the scale when we get home. We left Fort Lauderdale at 6 am and are picking up Justice at 8:30, so home shortly having not eaten or had coffee yet. But good to have the full day ahead and be able to have our usual morning back at home.

The fellow who fainted at that incredibly boring rules seminar was dehydrated. That has happened to him before. I guess he needs to drink a lot more water. But he did save the group from another hour of pain LOL.

Nice visit with DSS and DIL. We ended up eating at a sushi place - really good stuff.

Today after our usual morning we are picking up our neighbors at the airport then bocce in the late afternoon. These are the neighbors whose dog we had to arrange transportation for in the spring. They are taking a charter flight with the dog and the dialysis machine. Their car arrived on a carrier on Sunday.

Almost there to get Justice. Have a winning Wednesday!

Seems like you live in an idyllic spot except for those pesky fires and now rain. I guess there really isn't anywhere to live without some amount of risk.

Oh my Liz! That golf rules class sounded horrid! Hope the guy that fainted will be okay!

122.4 today. Back down a bit today and right in the middle of my desired range. Not as snack or hungry today. Sunday's shot must be peaking!

We had to leave with the dogs again tonight as our buyers wanted to meet with some painters and a carpet guy to get estimates. We hope there will be no more requests to get in the house before closing.

Weather very cool and gloomy. Soooo looking forward to warmer climes!

My early retirement was directly related to losing DH at such a young age and realizing that there no guarantees how long we have!

Im happy you can be there to support your friend that will soon enough be a widow. Such a difficult time!

Good for BFF for recognizing that you need your house back for a bit!

Good grief!!! They droned on about their rules to the point of causing someone to collapse?! That's so crazy.

My Mom did decide after all to stay in the hospital a few more days. My brother said now that my Dad is more rested, he is backtracking on the promises to hire help. He still is going to allow my SIL to set up my Mom's meds, so I guess that's a win. Anyhow, I'm going to go to the hospital with DH when he gets home in a few minutes.

Last night my friend said "When DH dies we will..." and talked about how strange to think of herself as a widow. They have a lovely marriage/partnership and it makes it so hard to hear she will be a widow. They have 4 awesome kids, and a slew of grandchildren to support her later, but of course it's not the same. She looked so tired. I hope we gave her the space to talk about what she needed to say, and to distract her for a bit also. One of the other roomies is pondering retirement (she just turned 65) and of course the roomie who is losing her DH said, Do it. Do it now. I am sitting on a pile of money set aside to buy a cabin up north. I should have bought it years ago. Just do it. Once again the sad lesson that we don't know how much time we have. If not now, then when?

When we got home, BFF said, It's time for you to have your house back. I am going to go stay with my niece now, until I leave for Boston on the 20th. Her niece and her niece's partner live in a two bedroom apartment, so it's not a place to stay for the long haul, but it will do for now. I appreciate her making these plans before we had to ask her to leave. She will be back a few days before we leave for Brazil and will housesit while we are gone.

I finally got to go work put this morning after a crazy week last week and it felt so good! And it is 60 degrees and sunny today, so I am savoring the serotonin that is flooding my system right now. Snow predicted this weekend, but that's for another day. Today, I will enjoy the sunshine and warmth.
