119.6 - the official weight for the week. Not terrible with a lot of going out to eat since our friends arrived.
Yesterday's golf etiquette lessons involved things like pace of play (go fast), how to properly fix divots and how to rake the sand bunkers after you tramp around on them. We learned a ton of rules like how to deal with going out of bounds near the trees vs properties or when your ball goes into the bunker. We only got to hit the ball once which was driving it over some mangroves - my ball made it over! It was 68 but super windy so we were freezing. This morning it is 46!
We went to the art museum with our friends and joined at a level where we can bring 2 non-members to the museum and to member-only events for free. We also will have reciprocal privileges at tons of other museums. It is a really great museum with interesting exhibits coming in all the time and member events are quite nice so we were glad we got a chance to get that set up.
This morning I am going with DH to his cardiologist because he had an event which his pacemaker monitor reported to them and they are concerned about. DH knew immediately what it was when they called because he said it was so weird. He said it felt like his heart stopped and he started to faint, then it just went away. He didn't tell me until the doctor's office called the next day - very concerning!
After that we will take our friends to Fort Pierce just south of us to lunch, then the Navy Seal Museum. Tonight is dinner at the Kilted Mermaid, an eclectic restaurant with live music and interesting foods like fondue.
Time to get showered. Have a fine Friday!

Yeah, I think I would want to strangle the guy too. Have you tried some calls since he fixed it?
Those javalinas are odd looking creatures. I saw them in Mexico.

I agree that the guest taking the wine back home is weird. The only time I have seen that is when the host insists that they take it.

So sorry you had a difficult day and sorry for that struggling family.

Snow!!!
Those dumplings sound interesting but it is hard to fathom what they would be like.

I'm sure there are many things you will enjoy in retirement. DH and I were just discussing how much we enjoy having the time to sit with our coffee and read the news in the morning. Do you think managing your eating will be easier without those tempting school treats around?

Hope you enjoyed your early Thanksgiving! Sorry about your tough meeting. You are so empathetic, it would be hard not to absorb the desperation emanating from the parents...
I can see why homicide crossed your mind. How could the problem go on unfixed, for two years, after you brought it up multiple times? ARGH!

PS - I feel vindicated for liking to eat really early!

New valve in place under the sink. He also helped me change the filters on my water system (I couldn't get them unscrewed) and put a speaker cover back on one of the outdoor speakers that blew off. I could have done that, but it involved a ladder and working over my head, both of which I avoid whenever possible. Oh, and he caulked around my water filter things as water inevitably drips behind the wall when you unscrew them.
I'm sure I've mentioned how bad my cell coverage is at my house and that wifi calling hasn't helped. I couldn't take it anymore and looked into a landline, but I can't get one out here. The internet guy said I should have my a/v guy check the settings on the router. They control that, I can't see it. So though I'd mentioned it to him multiple times, I finally sent an email with everything I've tried that hasn't worked. This is the email I got back this morning: "Good morning Ceci. I just checked on your set up and it looks like I never turned on the setting in the router to enable WiFi calling, I apologize for this. It should be fixed and working now."
You guys, it's been TWO YEARS of phone torture!! Calls dropping or cutting out, people saying I sound like a pixelated robot. And he forgot to turn that on. I was stunned. I wrote back and said, "I don't know whether to murder you or hug you. I'm leaning toward murder..." He was apologetic l but I feel like some kind of pain and suffering remuneration is in order! TWO F$&#ING YEARS.
My bff and our old boss and her husband are coming here tomorrow for 2 days. I'm trying and failing to clean. I have to go do that. I'm so tired and am not up for visitors! I'm sure it will be fun.
Another visitor I had today was kind of fun. This javalina and his "squadron" (good collective noun) dropped by for a snack tonight:
Okay, off to clean and stop procrastinating. Take care friends!
