- You are definitely suffering from their deferred maintenance.

It's funny, I scooped them out onto a cookie sheet and froze them, then put them in bag to bake later. It never occurred to me to eat any!
And yeah, this house... I was talking to my dad who called from the hospital and he said, "you got Kimbled AGAIN?"I said, "Yes! I've been Kimbled 4 times this month!" We now use the former owner's name as a verb.
Hoping this slips in before the network OH is on goes down again...
117.2 - 3rd day in a row. Weird what the body does.
Thanks for the Safari advice. It does sound like it might be worth the expense but I don't think we are ready for a multi-week trip next year. We may see if we can get on the list for the following year (this organization does one per year and will take up to 20 people each time). At least one other couple (one of the ones we went on the charter with earlier this year) might be interested in going in 2027 so that would be fun.
We had our bucket list meeting yesterday. We threw out one destination (too far away from anything else and not enough to do there). The rest we kept and categorized. Obviously the Safari trip bubbled up. We categorized the trips into inexpensive/easy to get to (Bermuda, Bahamas, etc); expensive but definitely worth doing (Safari, Greece); and opportunistic - worth doing if combined with something else or if a good price/trip with friends comes up (Napa Valley, Alaska, etc). So we may knock off one or 2 of the easier ones in a year when we aren't too busy, then work toward the ones worth it. Gives some structure anyway.
Today after DH has his PCP appointment we are going to the beach club, then home to clean up and back there tonight for the Welcome Back party. It has a Margaritaville theme. Should be lots of fun - anyone back for the season is going. DH wants to talk with his PCP about what his ideal weight should be. All his test numbers are great for cholesterol, BP, etc. but he is still in an overweight BMI category as he is not very tall but has a lot of muscle in his legs and arms (not so much in his core). I think normal BMI would have him at about 165 which I think would be terribly thin for him (he is low 180s right now).
Our club is sponsoring a fundraiser for people in Jamaica. We have several employees from there whose families and friends are affected. They need food, water, electricity, you name it. One of the employees is going to coordinate getting all donations packed into barrels and will bring them personally to Jamaica to distribute (our Club will pay for the barrels and transportation). Makes it feel like a more directed donation in a way?
Time to get motivated for our long Justice walk. He is ready! Have a tippy Tuesday!

I may have to subscribe to Apple. There are a lot of good shows on there. We had given up some subscriptions where DH and I were doubled up so maybe it is time to add a new one.

Nice that you are home and able to sit, relax, and visit with people. Must feel like a big weight has been lifted.

I hope you didn't get caught in the rain too much. I checked the forecast at one point and it wasn't actively raining but the forecast looked ominous.
Justice still has his dewclaws. They are really floppy ones so kind of jaunty when he walks LOL. The new vet here asked if I wanted them removed because she said sometimes they can causes problems with the nails but said his were pretty accessible so it probably wasn't that important to do. So I left them. He is almost 11 after all and might as well continue to keep them.

You can't get a break with that house! It is so beautiful but boy all that fancy stuff comes with lots of maintenance!
More than 3 kinds of Christmas cookies? Wow! You are a real baker. Of course I'm afraid to make cookies because I am afraid I will eat all of them.

Thanks for stopping in! Always great to hear from the Tribe! I have stayed on tirzepatide for 16 months past when I hit goal to keep that food noise away. I only take 2 mg a week split into 2 doses and it works fantastic for me. DH just lost 40 pounds via WW and as you just saw in the post above he is struggling mightily with the cravings. He hates taking drugs for anything but boy is in in a battle with his appetitites.

Hippie deli sounds delicious. Pizza is a near perfect food, and i could eat it several times a week.
Greetings all
It was raining this morning but the sun is out now. If I laze about long enough the weather improves. Air drying hair before I go out and about. The kiln opens and I will have new things to run up to the gallery. Just completed a business license form for the gallery and they wanted this weird form completed about industrial waste water. Jeez we are just a little retail store.
Safari Liz. You should do it. I would if I felt up to it. Agreed that eco tourism is good for animals - supports keeping them safe. Makes me think to ask DH about bucket list plans. He has mentioned Catalina island at times. FISH Lol.
Hellooooo Ocean Diane! Good to hear from you. Glad you have a holiday trip planned. Good on you for doing seasonal decorating. We are the neighborhood Scrooges as we don't do it but others do and we sure benefit. Wish I had advice on fit bit but I have grown unhappy with them - can't read the tiny numbers.
So peps enjoy the Mouse House. I used to know a guy who grew up in Anaheim and he had worked at Disney several times. He called it "working for the Rat". I think he played the trumpet in the toy soldier parade. He said all the workers tried to have sex in their Disney costumes. Do Mr. Toad and report back.
DD glad you survived the weekend. Glad to hear your dad had a fun time. He needed the break. Your presence was therapeutic in many ways. Enjoy your free day.
CC years ago I got a pseudomonas infection after one of my many hand surgeries. Nasty bug. I had an allergic reaction to an oral antibiotic and had to get a different one with benadryl or else go to hospital. Glad your dad is getting the iv stuff and that Claudia will keep him at it. Sorry to hear about the broken pump. hope it does not mean a third porta potty.
I got a dinner entree from the hippie deli - bbq pork and potatoes and corn. Looked good. We will find out. Meanwhile I wish I could just live on pizza.
We started watching Down Cemetery Road on Apple. It is good - a mystery thriller which so far has nothing to do with cemeteries.
The bra ads continue. They all reference senior saggy boobs. So I am indeed offended.
