Did you decide on a brand for your induction stove?

Greetings all
Big sun today. It is energizing. I already have my list for today including gym and shopping for chili ingredients for tomorrow's football game. This is the Oregon Ducks which is sort of our team since Nebraska has fallen apart.
All our thoughts are with Diamond D today. Grateful to hear the end was peaceful and that family could come and that some fences were mended. Most of us have been through this - grief, relief, regret, numbness, despair and eventually some peace. I just heard today from the woman who was my mother's main nurse and was at her death. She is family to us. Sounds like DD has lots of great extended family and hope she will share the weight of all the events to follow with them. In my case the burdens of decisions and actions fell mainly on me initially and that was pretty rough. So DD accept all help that is offered.
Peps your stuff sneaked up on me! Glad you are through it. Bet you feel better when bandages are gone. Demand drugs. Maybe heat or cold would help with the background pain.
Liz you are indeed so active! No wonder you maintain your weight loss well. Enjoy the cruise! Where is this one going? Enjoy time with DS.
Yeah Paula I think the watch does go by arm movement and I move in a rather peculiar way doing up stairs - need lots of help from the rail. I also think it does not get all my treadmill steps as I often hold on to the rails. So maybe I need to put my Apple watch on my ankle which would look like a jail monitor and be completely ridiculous. Or maybe I just need to go with whatever and not worry about it.
Who has the address list that we put together some time ago? Can anyone share it? I have no clue where mine is.
Time to make eggs and get out and about. One more bean dinner. If I am in the mood I may go stove shopping since the appliance store is near the gym.

Sincere condolences to DD and her family. Losing a parent is so hard, no matter how good or bad the relationship was.
Weight was 120.4, so I seem to be in somewhat of a holding pattern which I am fine with.
Water aerobics was fun, got in my sunning time by our pool. Put together a blanket ladder for our living room. The Airbnb we stayed at over Christmas had one and I liked the look for a functional way to store blankets. I use them more than you might think in FL.
I think DH and I might do our Anniversary dinner tonight. I'm feeling a lot better!
Busy days for you Liz, between water aerobics, spectating Bocce, a golf clinic and Justice walks you sure keep active which is a good thing! You will have to share the pic of your cabinet once you get it!
Peps, glad you are on the other side of PS. I'm sure things will look and feel rough for a bit, but in the end will be worth it. I'm so happy with my last round of PS!
Continue to feel better CC. We got this!

Diamond D, my love and sympathies are being sent your way. I wish I could give you a hug and help bolster you with the energy you will need in the days ahead. Please know your entire OH tribe is here for you.
I'm sorry to have missed so much over the new year weekend. I have caught up on most of the posts. Yesterday's posts really triggered memories for me. I remembered so vividly what it was like when my mom passed - especially the 15 minutes before she died. It will be 28 years ago on January 13. Like Liz mentioned, there is a sense of relief when a loved one passes after a long illness, but the sorrow is deep. The grief was like nothing I'd ever felt before.
I am on the other side of surgery. All went well. While the meds help, there is a level of background discomfort that is causing me to carry tension in the back of my neck - almost pre-migraine feeling. Post op appointment in about an hour. Bandages will come off and I won't look like a soap opera brain surgery patient anymore.
My deepest sympathy. Sending you a huge hug and strength to get through the next days and coming weeks.

What a rough time for DD and her family. Thinking of her!
When my mom died I was devastated and yet there was a small part of me that was relieved that the frustrations and challenges surrounding her health and how she chose to manage it were over. I wouldn't be surprised if there is that for DD as well. But regardless, losing your mother is difficult no matter the cir****tances.
I am still clogged and coughing, but feeling better each day. It's rainy here today with a feels like of 31. After today, 9 days of full sun.
I might start on dismantling the tree. We'll see...
