Greetings all

Early for me to check in today. DH is at lunch and I am enjoying having the house to myself. I need to go to the art supply store today for a few things for a project. DH will likely bring home Mexican from lunch so that will be dinner. I will go to the gym and walk. Must confess to using the elevator yesterday.

Liz you rock that paddle board! Not easy I bet. Doubt I could do it. We are proud of you for getting the most out of this trip. That sushi looks great. Fab trip.

Infusion DD. Is that for osteopenia? Glad the allergy did not happen. Years ago I had an allergy to an antibiotic. I had to switch to a different but related one and the doctor told me to take benydril along with the replacement drug. That worked. Yeah be sick on the training day. What could they possibly teach you? You can teach them!! Yay for the Oddessy.

There is a small but good local pharmacy that is no longer filling ozempic scrips. Rumor is it is due to cost. Not a good sign.

Hey Paula I think you should resume Florida house hunting. Go for it.

And yeah Liz, We live in a podunk area so it will take one to four weeks for us to get real id. But at least we got appointment to do it.

I don't think I have lost any weight but my pants seem looser. Tops seem tighter. This seems contrary to the laws of gravity.

Time to get moving. Walking with Rod Stewart.

People tell me it takes good core strength to be upright on a paddle board. I know several people who only use theirs kneeling. (Which requires really good knees I imagine!). The picture you posted on Facebook while paddling was just amazing! You are entering your new decade the best possible way! May the coming years bring all the adventures your heart desires!

Just got back from my infusion. So far so good. My lips and mouth started to itch during it and I thought oh good grief I'm having an allergic reaction, but it subsided thank heavens. I'm never allergic to anything, and I didn't want to have to sit there for observation or whatever it is they would do. I took 2 Tylenol as a precaution, but so far no aches or chills.

Paula, I understand the lure of Florida, especially when winter has been around for so many months and still will.not.leave.

Peps, I have apathy or perhaps even antipathy towards a lot of paperwork and other procedures. I'm still enjoying the kids, and we're entering my favorite units: Romeo and Juliet and Greek Mythology/The Odyssey. But yesterday I had to sign up for what training sessions I wanted to attend next week. I looked carefully and could not find the choice, none of the above. I might be sick that morning, and just come in for the work time in our classrooms.

Hope everyone has a great Friday that leads to an even better weekend!

Home prices are definitely coming down in Florida, though insurance and HOA's on condos are going up. I can't cope with the cold up north anymore - I would have to be like hermit up there in the winter.

I hope future SIL gets a good match!

People that co-owner sure can suck the energy out of everyone else.

Early start for me today. We had appointments at the DMV to get real IDs. Just in case we ever get on an airplane again. I was my usual skeptical self as the DMV is in a big mall here and I thought it would be really crappy and inconvenient. Turns out it was fine. The place was well run and efficient. We should get the id's in a few weeks.

So the day is overcast but it is not raining. I have forgotten how many storms are lined up over the Pacific. I will live in the moment.

Last night's chicken with Japanese bbq sauce was pretty good though salty. I had forgotten how salty that sauce already is and had salted the chicken. DH approved so thats the main thing.

Liz that trip looks to great. So the yacht cruises around in the day to various locations? Snorkel ops? Menu sounds great. I love lamb but DH hates it and cannot stand the smell of it.

Peps you are entitled to a bit of apathy after all the years of energy investment. What a marathon you had yesterday grooming the dog after the other events. I bet you are in for a big weight drop soon. Shows this weekend? One of our gallery members is an art teacher and she just announced she is taking early retirement as well. We all celebrated!

Feeling chilled today. Time to head to the gym and studio.
