So far not sick, though my hypochondria was in high gear last night making it hard to sleep! Like listening for strange noises in the dar****pt thinking is that a scratchy throat? Post nasal drip? A headache? So far I think I'm fine though I was sure I was coming down with it last night.
The jet skis are buzzing around, sounding like a cross between a horde of angry mosquitoes and a monster truck rally. The sun is finally came out today. I spent some time sitting on a lounger outside with Claudia while we threw the ball for the dog and blew edible bubbles for him...
Today is shot day. I was up 0.2. Blergh. Emerge can't ship 12.5 to Michigan, so I'm stuck with 10 until September. I might be able to eke out 12.5mg toward the end with the cushion of 10 I have.
My dad is feeling somewhat better. As Claudia said he's being "feisty" meaning "mean" and made his own breakfast of eggs when he was mad she wouldn't let him have his usual yogurt because dairy makes you mucusy, which all together is better than yesterday's catatonic. She is feeling a lot better too.
I went to the store to buy stuff to make them another soup. Also mailed a ginormous check to the designers for the second payment on my furniture. I keep reminding myself I have no college tuitions or weddings to pay for and may as well enjoy it.
That's it for now! Take care all...
The flight gremlins have struck our group. DS woke up to a message from American Airlines his flight was cancelled, and they rebooked him for tomorrow. Except the boarding pass wouldn't download. It said he was checked in, but really, are you if there's no boarding pass? He spent almost an hour on the phone with them, while they untangled why he still had a boarding pass for a flight they canceled and why he didn't have one for the flight he was now checked into. Good grief. But anyhow, we bet to keep him another day. :)
The weather took a turn here! Its 68, overcast with a cool damp wind. I'm wearing lots of layers. It will be a good day to walk through the shopping district, which we haven't done yet. And maybe try out some restaurant that doesn't have much of a patio (because I definitely wouldn't pick such a place on a sunny day).
In addition to swimming (I managed to get in!), eating lobsters and watching whales, I finished a book, The Last Flight. It was entertaining. I started a new book today: The Midnight Library. It's is compelling so far.
I had to laugh ruefully at the saggy skin discussion. I am a melted candle. There's even loose skin on my calves. But I too am much happier about how I feel, so I can cope.

These days Delta makes a road trip sound like a viable time saving alternative. Hopefully you are flying the friendly skies (ooops, wrong airline)...Which sky Does Delta fly?
We've been having resort weather here for a few days, but it looks like the heat is on again. I love having open windows, but August is around the corner.
Thankfully, there is nothing on the todo list that absolutely has to be done so I can choose, even if it's just doing nothing which would be a novelty.
Enjoy the summer traveling and vacationing adventurs that many of you are having. This burger is content to hang around between her two buns for the time being.
Up early today to travel home mid-day. We are flying from Orlando which is 1.5 hours away so have to leave at 9 for our flight at noon. Hopefully it gets out at some point but we are watching closely as it is a Delta flight. They cancelled about 1/3 of their flights out of Orlando yesterday and another 1/3 were delayed, usually by about 2-3 hours. We won't mind a delay but I really need to get back for some appointments tomorrow.
The inspection at the house resulted in 2 asks by the buyers, both of which are totally reasonable and I will take care of them. The next hurdle is them obtaining a mortgage. They were pre-qualified and seem to be in a good place financially so I don't think it will be a problem.
The condo here is as clean as we can leave it in preparation for the bachelorette weekend in a month. I didn't do regular PT exercises yesterday because I used my arm to scrub - I can feel it this morning.
I'm looking forward to getting back to Justice and also getting back to my own house for the next couple of months.
Time to move the laundry to the dryer. Have a winning Wednesday (I just realized that I used my W word yesterday thinking it was Wednesday LOL!

Seems like you all have a wonderful relationship. How lucky to be able to have this close family time while your children are in that busy time of life.

I have had COVID twice and DH has had it three times. Neither of us ever had a fever. By all rights I should have also gotten it the last time DH had it, but I didn't. So hopefully you will get a pass.

So glad you get that family time, it is precious!

We went whale watching today! DH always wants to go, and I always beg off because I'm afraid of getting sea sick. The weather has been calm, so I thought I'd take a chance, and I was totally fine. We saw several humpback whales. One seemed to come up close to the boat quite deliberately, and gave us several views of her beautiful tail. There was also a pod of dolphins who were feeling rambunctious, and treated us to some hijinks. Very satisfying outing.
DS has to leave tomorrow. It's been so delightful to have the 4 of us together. DH really enjoys it so much also. I was telling DD that it took us longer to run an errand (DH, DS and me) because the two of them had to try all the buttons/features in the rental car, and walk around the car to figure out where all the cameras were. This is the kind of "fun" I'm no good at : )
We were talking about some older (than me) relatives and why they did the things they did. I said to DD, I'm sure you and your brother have some things to say about us, to which she replied, don't worry, we say them to your face. Haha, at least we know what they're thinking.
I hope it skips you! I've had Covid 3 times, and DH did not get it from me. He had it once, and I didn't get it from him. It's a mystery how it infects some, and then skips over others.
