Steak and salad likely felt way better in your gut than the ice cream. It is weird that we still sometimes want something that we know based on experience may not sit very well in our stomach.

I feel like my shoulder is ready to kayak. I need to get out on my pond before I not here anymore. I love seeing your kayaking pictures!

Nice job with the weight while traveling. I would want to sit on that porch as much as possible too until school starts.

greetings all

It's been foggy today. End of warmth. Works for me.

Spent time at the studio today. Building painting is underway and it will be an improvement though colors are not fully selected. Gave my 2 cents.

Sooooo glad Justice is doing better. We hate to see our pets uncomfortable.

Talked to one of my high school friends today. It was fun. She is sort of an invalid but has a lovely multigenerational family living with her. All good.

Eating today has been garbage. Must reset.

Peps sounds like your trip is winding down. But if you can, do the flaming gorge out by Rock Springs wyoming. Its fabulous. You can just drive around it though it takes a bit.

CC what a chore to brush a golden! Lots of work. My little creatures need it too. They hate their brushes.

AAA membership. A good thing.

Liz, I am not quite sure how you travel so much. I am so ready to be back home. Maybe it is because I am only in one place for two to three days tops and then move on. I am on my 6th hotel in 10 days. I have decided that I am cancelling the last part of the road trip. I'm going to go straight home from North Dakota. However, I still may go via the Badlands. I'll have to see how much time it will add to Monday's drive time. As currently planned, the drive from here to my overnight stop in Wyoming is 11 1/2 hours. From Wyoming I plan on driving straight through to California and be home by Tuesday night. I promise if the drive is too much, I will stop in Reno for the night.

Morning Dog show was good. Molly won the Owner Handled group and got a regular group 4. Afternoon was a complete and utter bust. No love for Molly in either group.

I stress ate today. Just a small serving of ice cream at the dog show, but it was still a stress eat. I paid the price. I felt like poop afterwards. I had to force myself to rally. Once I did, I was fine. The sugar must have worked its way through my gut...

I would really like a steak and salad for dinner. There is a steak house across the way. I will check it out. Perhaps they can do a take away dinner.

That's all I've got today, too!

ETA: So glad Justice is feeling better today!!!!!

Weight the same. The bus left at 7:40 for kayaking this morning, 20 minutes before the scheduled bus departure! Perfect morning on the lakes and got home before it got too hot. Showered when we got home and then nap time! Retirement is grand! I actually am more fatigued than I would like. Might need to increase carbs a bit. Still not getting in my goal of 1000 calories daily but I'm feeling less food aversion as the shot week is coming to an end. New injection tomorrow , staying at 5 mg.

Glad all of the sick family is now healing! Funny that you pulled the I told you so on your Dad CC! Welcome home DD! The visual of a squirrel screaming at you is funny! Dang rodents! We have a woodchuck digging around the foundation of our garage!

DS is not good with mechanical issues and likes me to problem solve for him.

Sounds like you've problem solved brilliantly for yourself by gifting him a tool with which he can handle any future car issues. Good job!

Greetings from the porch! We got in about midnight and DBIL picked us up and deposited us at home. It's one of the love languages of DH's family. They will pick each other up from any place and ridiculous time. We told him we would take an Uber, but he insisted. Very kind.

Things look good here at the house and all my plants are blooming. There is squirrel damage though. They ate some succulents and a begonia. They might have been coming back for another feast, because when they were running across the yard toward the porch, they actually kind of screamed when they saw me.

I think Triple A is always a good idea. We have the kind that will tow you 100 miles, and have used that feature more than once over the years.

Matted pet hair! Argh. We had a fluffy, long haired cat who matted seemingly overnight. We finally had to except he needed to be clipped once a year. His brother was never impressed when he came back home looking like a rat for a few days.

I would really like to hang close to home these next few weeks. We will need to go see my parents, and my Aussie sister who is visiting.

The weather here has not really improved. It's warm and sunny today, but a thunderstorm is predicted for the afternoon, followed by a week of below normal temps. I think Monday's forecast was a high of 68! Boo!

We got upgraded to Delta Comfort again. Has a few more perks than economy (or as DH calls it: steerage). The best is closer to the front. I finished a book on the plane: The Perfect Marriage. It was a free Prime download. I've read more complicated psychological thrillers, but it was entertaining and quick to read.

Well I suppose time to start laundry, and think about a trip for some groceries.

ETA: I am up 1 pound! Yeah!!! If I'm retaining any water from traveling, I may find myself a bit below my vacation starting weight in a few days.
