129. I'm disappointed that I am no longer losing but shouldn't be since I am nicely maintaining at goal. Always wanting more I guess!
Treadmill exercise complete! Today I did 40 minutes at 3.6 mph with intervals between 3-5%. Increasing a bit each week!
Did a webinar on Esty SEO optimization this morning. Gotta figure out how to increase traffic and sales!
Boys are getting their way for dinner. Grilled teriyaki pineapple chicken. High of 63 degrees today but feels like 53 with wind! Still a *****illy for me, I'll be wearing a coat!
Liz, happy you had a great visit with DD and SIL! Hopefully they home safe and sound. What is a love the pearls luncheon?

Glad you had a good time with friends visiting!
I was eyeing the Sweet Magnolias series on Netflix, thanks for the heads up. I'm currently watching Younger on Netflix. It is about a 40 year old divorced woman trying to get back into the workforce and she experiences age discrimination so she reinvents herself as a 26 year old, gets a job and has to live a new younger life. Totally brainless thing to watch, lots of sex and drinking themes. Perfect for my treadmill workouts. Two 20 minute episodes gets me through my 40 minute workout!

Glad you are back home, albeit still in the attic! Of course little spats during home improvement and other projects are normal not to mention differences of opinion on finances!

Have fun with your new trike! So glad you have a great church community that is so helpful!

My second convertible had this terrible bang when I went over bumps. It took them a while to figure it out. It turned out that the car door was just a little off kilter even though it seemed to close and open fine. They fixed it completely then 2 weeks later that car drowned in a flash flood LOL.

I think building and remodeling are incredibly stressful, so yes, totally normal that you are sparring a bit. Deceased DH said we would never build a house because he saw a lot of divorces after the stress of house building. Just a lot to decide, a lot of $$, and naturally the usual overrruns. These days I like to have things done when we aren't around (of course we haven't undertaken any huge projects like yours).

I love the support system you have there!

A week of houseguests, beautiful snow, then post-houseguest catatonia...
I didn't eat well while she was here, but we did split a lot of entrees, so hopefully that minimized some damage. Lots of chores piling up here, so I need to get on those today.
No time change here! Every plant, animal, and weather event in AZ may want to kill you, but at least we don't have to monkey with our clocks!
I binge watched Sweet Magnolias latest season on Netflix yesterday while not moving an inch. Save yourselves the "diabeetus" and avoid if you can. Sugary doesn't begin to describe it.
The dealership is coming to get my new car Wednesday to try to find and fix the rattle in the backseat. Nice that I don't have to drive it up and back especially with more rain and snow coming late this week.
Hope all is well!
Totally normal! I alway**** divorce level frustration during major home projects! We come at issues quite differently! But in the end it all works itself out rather well.
128.8 lbs.
I'm back! And glad to be back in the attic. The floors are beautiful! This week a lot gets done--the kitchen cabinets and appliances, most all the final painting, the primary bathroom. But what I'm jonesing for is the laundry!
I think the remodeling and close quarters stresses are getting to us. We're spatting over costs. As must not be unusual, we're over budget, and I occasionally freak out over $$, and he freaks out because I want to do things "on the cheap" (my words, not his), and then we make up. I mention this to invite all of you to say, "Oh, that's normal. It will pass." So let me hear you!
This week's weather will be gorgeous--sunny and in the 70s. Looking forward to it so much.
BTW, weren't Bonnie's pix in her fancy long red feathered dress amazing!?
And Ocean girl-- I'm glad to hear your tricycle finally arrived and is assembled. Lovely community you've got there.
