Poor DH - I hope he gets better quickly before you leave for your trip.
And congrats on the new decade!

139.6, into a new decade, at least for today!
Still bitter cold. I won't be going outside, walking poles or not! The snow missed us. We have just a little remaining on the ground from the last snow we had!
Church was online this morning. DC1 hanging out as usual on their day off. DH is sick with a cold and coughing up a storm. He is at urgent care seeing if he can get steroids to speed up the healing process. His asthma always make any respiratory illness much worse!
Sausage mushroom soup on the menu for tonight. Gotta stay warm!

Snow is great for a day as long as one doesn't have to go out in a vehicle.

Aaahhh, life by the pool sounds delicious!
Here in Kentucky it's snowing and will continue for at least the next 24 hours. Temp is 24 and feels like 14. Brilliantly, we're still in bed watching the falling, drifting flakes and a YouTube fireplace crackling on the TV.
Midday I'll suit up in all my Antarctic finery and head out with walking poles to impress the neighborhood and myself. Actually, I'll be shocked if anyone else will be out there. I'll impress myself if I don't fall down.
With apologies to those who live in real snow country, these days are magical for those of us who don't have to deal with white stuff all winter. Makes me feel like a kid when my mom made snow ice cream for us all.

Good thing I post the date here - gives me practice in writing 2025.
Good day yesterday in Fort Lauderdale. We took a long walk in the morning and ate a healthy brunch which held us all day. We hung out by the pool with a DJ playing music all afternoon, then ate at a restaurant with better food at 1/2 the cost of Friday night. I had the best fried rice I have ever had and some really good sushi. DH and I stayed up late talking and drinking wine. I am a little fuzzy this morning as a result.
No rest for the weary! We need to get dressed and packed over the next hour to meet the family for breakfast then hang out at a different pool for the day. DSS has rented cabanas. Probably another DJ - seems to be the thing here. We will leave mid-afternoon to drop DSD and DSGD (is that the abbreviation for step granddaughter?) at the airport then return home. If we get back before 5 we will pick up Justice, otherwise we will get him in the am.
Have a sagacious Sunday!

I pay no attention to the supposed calories burned. Even if it looks like somewhat significant I have never lost weight through exercise.

Greetings all
Another mixed cloudy day. I fixed poached eggs and then spent time reviewing the latest communication in our gallery lease negotiations. This person has made everything unduly complicated and is inserting concepts that do not belong in a legal document. Drives me nuts. Getting close on the numbers but now need to get rid of the other nonsense. As usual I overthink everything and need to just get 'er done.
Went to the gym which was decidedly dull. No peculiar people to observe. But I now burn a full 50 calories in my walking. Whoo hoo, that is not even half a donut. After that I went to the studio and made some new stuff.
We are now in Season 2 of The Tourist. Complete change of scenery but still a quirky compelling story. DH loves it and there are no exploding time traveling aliens.
Yay Paula on packed bags. Enjoy.
Hmm Liz, the fancy restaurant sounds overrated. I think those of us that eat smaller portions become pickier about what it is and how it tastes. Nothing bad about that! And nice atmosphere counts for a lot.
Stay warm all you midwesterners. Predictions sound bad. But Paula I suspect you secretly love it when the weather is bad at home and you are in the tropics. I know I did when we lived in Nebraska. Hoping it snowed while we were somewhere else.
CC I hear you on being embarrassed for someone else when they behave in a peculiar way. Not so much dancing for me but more like making a scene over something stupid. Glad the music was good.
The little Florida eaglets are not so little. They look like plucked chickens now. Eating like little pigs.
Not much else. Cheers. Diane S

I think the GLP 1 meds will continue to be approved for various conditions (alcohol and drug addictions, ADHD, inflammatory diseases etc.) These medications are the closest thing to a miracle drug since Statin**** the market!

Very! But who knows if insurance companies will cover it for that.
