OMG - what a terrible set of cir****tances for your friends! Good thing they have support for their return home. You just never know.

We made it to Florida yesterday and had a great time out to dinner with our friends. We hadn't seen any of them in 2 months so they were amazed by my weight loss. I wore a dress that I haven't put on since a month after I met DH.

The plane ride was very relaxing but on our way home from the airport around mid-day DS called in panic because the internet went out at the house and the provider had to be called from DH's phone because they won't talk to anyone else. Actually they don't "speak" to anyone, but we were finally able to work with a technician via text (actually I did because DH doesn't understand technology at all). They couldn't figure out the issue so set up an appointment for this afternoon. DS ended up going to the library to work. But all is well in the end as I googled the error code and someone posted online that it was their cable splitter that was bad, so DS removed it and all is functioning smoothly. It felt like another 3 hours was taken out of my life stressing over that.

Anyway, we got to the Florida condo mid-afternoon and the work we had done in the Living Room is beautiful! There are a few last details he needs to finish which we discussed this morning but it is at a point where I can put it back together in advance of DD's bachelorette party at the end of August.

The Cape house is listed!!! Fingers and toes crossed. Two showings are already scheduled for today and an open house on Saturday.

Injection on-board today and weight tomorrow (with a different scale of course).

Spending the afternoon at the beach (under an umbrella - too hot otherwise). Have a timeous Thursday!

I think I remember those arduous steps - didn't y'all haul a sofa up those? Is your cottage the same delightful one you rented last? Have a lovely time with the kiddos; I know you will.

Ocean! Howdy and good morning, ma'am.

OMGosh! I am astonished at the overwhelming misfortune your friend and her BF are experiencing. So good to have friends to provide for needs and comforts. Prayers that the cleanup (business end of ordeal) will go glitch less.

I tend to get caught up in the chaos new experiences naturally create and lose the joy of the adventure. Your post reminds me to appreciate and have gratitude every day for my body's ability to do and enjoy the journey.

Peps, that is such a problem- dealing with clothes too large for you ( reminds me of the retort "are you bragging or complaining?") If you buy new, don't get very much. I have a feeling you'll be needing to size down even more.

****ly, I use a cream, Triamcinolone Acetonide, for poison ivy- works well so could be great on bug bites. It's a prescription, but I bet your Dr would call it in without a visit, maybe.

To all in vacation mode- enjoy! Ditto for all at home, too.

Speaking of the day- off to finish up the house for tomorrow.

Good your Dad is home, and his mood is improving :)

Good morning! Travel went well. We were on Jet Blue this time. We got to DD's neighborhood about 12:45am, and found a place to park a couple of blocks away. This involved pulling suitcases down derelict sidewalks and down a flight of stairs to her street, then up 3 flights of the stairs of death. We travel to have experiences that are different than our daily lives :)

I'm so happy to be with DD again, and waiting for DS to arrive Friday. Saturday we leave for our beach cottage.

Today, no big plans. Since we rented a car, we will take DD to run some errands that are harder to do using using public transportation. Tomorrow night we are having dinner with some friends we refer to as The Boston Parents. DD lived with them the first 2 years here.
