Looks like Peps and Grizz had a good weekend in Napa this weekend. Nice place to visit. I wouldn't mind going back there.
Somewhat relaxed day yesterday though I did get 3 loads of laundry done and Justice had a bath. We ended up having both lunch and dinner at the beach club. We weren't there other than for meals though. We went to our outdoor music venue for a short time but didn't stay as the band had cancelled last minute and they had a DJ instead.
Today the bus leaves as usual in a little more than an hour. We will be back at the Beach Club by 1:00 to watch the Patriots play. There was a good contingent of New England fans there last week.
Thinking about CC's neighbor makes me think about our next door neighbors here. They are a bit more than 10 years younger than we are and from an extremely well-to-do family. They are friendly to say hi to and actual friends with many of our friends, a lot of whom are closer in age to them than us. I am still irked about the open-house party they had just before they left last spring (they just returned this weekend). They invited a LOT of people and were making a lot of noise until after midnight. Most of our friends were invited, but we weren't. Am I wrong to be peeved that we weren't invited? I would have if only because I would know that the noise would carry over. And BTW I had invited them to gatherings twice previously though they were busy each time. Is it our age, our financial situation or what?
Oh well - it really is like being in college around here. Time to think about changing for breakfast. This is the last warm morning for a while. It is supposed to be 40 degrees tomorrow morning. Have a stimulating Sunday!

Narcissist much? The world revolves around her...

Ditto to what DD said about bone density. You are at higher risk than average. Mine was first checked when I was 60.
Three days! Wow! That came quick once everything fell in place.

I agree, jeez louise. Why is it that we all probably know her type? Do they have some kind of manual about crashing through boundaries?

Today's only outing was to Home Depot to return a hose that had a recall. With no receipt and having used Apple Pay (the number changes randomly making it impossible to tell them the card number used) I got store credit. Given the challenges of home ownership, I will no doubt use it easily. Being a beautiful day, I took the convertible, but still enjoyed the heated air scarf - the car can blow hot air at the back of your neck. Loved it!
Ugh, I forgot it was Saturday and the tourist crowds were NUTS on the roads to my house. Hundreds of cars everywhere!
Tomorrow I'm having lunch with the crazy neighbor. The latest is, I had mentioned to her that my other friend and I were wanting to do a Christmas cookie exchange party. Her response was to usurp the idea and make it a Christmas decorating party at her house (so she doesn't have to do her tree herself) and cookie decorating party AND asked "if I'd like to help her"! I really just floated the idea to see if she'd want to come to what we were planning, and she took it and made it hers. And then she graciously - ha - said I was welcome to invite whoever I wanted and Cathy could come to. The cheek! I don't have the energy to say anything about stealing our idea and morphing it to do her decorating work for her, but I'm irked. She really is seriously lacking in friendship social graces, but it's not like she didn't give me a huge lesson in that already. Sigh, we could still do a cookie exchange, but jeez louise.
I went to wash Kirby today and realized I was out of dog shampoo. Kirby was saved by the bell!
Anywho, that's all from my corner. Take care!
Re Osteoporosis : The women in my family had onset earlier than I did. As Diane pointed out, we had are own weight bearing activity every time we moved. I actually credit years of obesity as being bone protective due to the fact I was diagnosed at an older age than Mom, Aunts and Grandmas. So one benefit for all the other suffering incurred carrying all that excess weight.
Yes, you should definitely have a bone density test! You are also a prime candidate being a fair skinned woman with a small frame, and family history. Adding a VSG ups the risk.
Sorry, not clear: I declined. I thought maybe my provider was being a bit dramatic, but when I read about Prolia on line, there was information about being careful about timing injections.
121.9 today. Still good!
I never had my bone density checked. Should one at a given age? Is it a standard test? I know my grandmother suffered from osteoporosis.
DD, if your Mom needs a lot of medical supplies etc. hospice is great as there is no cost. Need a wheelchair or walker or hospital bed, they have it delivered. Need meds, they provide it. They also do home visits as needed to assess vitals, progression of disease etc. What it is not though is home nursing. Family still had to do the majority of the care and it's not easy! There is in hospital hospice if needed/desired though!
3 days left before we leave for FL. Really hoping to miss the first snow but it is going to be close! We will get our share when we come back this way for Christmas!
Liz, glad DS's flight didn't get canceled. What a mess right now!
Diane, just say no to unwanted guests! Enjoy the game with DH!
