"I fixed a drippy shower yesterday ...."
Your genius is beyond my ken. I have no idea how to do something like that. Seriously, that's awesome.

There are fewer events in life more joyful than fitting into "skinnier" clothes!
I swear ... one of my most effective relaxation drills is playing dress up in my head. Works especially well when I'm too revved up to fall asleep.

Oh my gosh did Kirby have a good time yesterday! He ran so hard he ended up with a bloody toenail (note to self, ball chasing should be on the grass, not the driveway). Makes me feel guilty that he doesn't have access to children all the time! He was wonderful with them. Far gentler than he is with me or my folks. I think the real clincher for the success of yesterday was that the kids (dad's wife's niece's kids) have 2 goldens at home, one of whom is 2. So they know how to be around big young dogs - when to turn their backs, how to hold their hands to not encourage jumping, where to pet... It was pretty magical. Great kids too.
Scale was down 0.6 for the week. Not great for an increase in dosage, but at least it was a loss. Shot day today.
My folks are headed out on a boat trip for a few days tomorrow. A break from traditional dinners for me! One win, I did opt out of ice cream last night. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it, but I was taking advantage of the fact that I wasn't craving it and could say no without feeling left out/deprived/pouty. So while I may not have much appetite suppression, at least I had that.
Today I'm getting my hair colored. I have to say I like my hair a whole lot better in AZ. The humidity make it look bad most of the time and it looks way worse after I sleep on it. It seems like I need to wa**** everyday here when in AZ it can feel clean into day 3. On the upside, I don't need to put moisturizer on anywhere here! I bought some lighter shampoo so I will give that a try to see if that's the problem.
Aside from a hair appt, I don't have to do anything. Love that!
Take care all!
Awesome NSV!

witeless-I certainly hope so. ****ly, I truly feel your frustration with the alarm debacle. Yesterday was a struggle for me dealing hours to get what was supposed to be a minor issue resolved that in the end ate up 3 hours over the phone with no resolution what ever. But
today's a new chance. Posting now because if I don't, the day flies by and I miss out. So enjoyed yesterday's goings on news, adventures - Diane so brave with the kyacking- way to power through! Liz, way to go with the house; I'm just plodding along trying to scratch items off my list- seems never ending and always expanding at the same time.
Off and running...mammography is first thing on list, followed by some bloodwork , followed by running all over creation doing this and that.
Hope to check back later today and catch up with you all...
Sending smiles and good juju to all!
Congratulations! Yay to well-fitting, much smaller pants!

I have somewhat droopy upper arms with vertical wrinkles. Not a good look but when it is hot I wear no sleeve shirts. I don't care about my arms showing anymore.
My first house cost $50K and was the cutest little cape ever.

Nice night yesterday with DH's daughter and son-in-law listening to an Irish session. We were home at 9:30 and in bed immediately since we both were awake at 4 am.
I signed the listing agreement yesterday so it is official. We are waiting for a date/time for the photographer, then the listing goes up. We (DH, DS, cat, dog and me) move to DH's house this weekend after hiding all counter clutter and removing all traces of animals. I fixed a drippy shower yesterday and am in the process of replacing a rotted screen door for the screen porch. Once my friend paints the cupola, our housekeeper cleans on Friday and a last straightening is done in the garage we are done with this phase of work. Hopefully the moving phase can be delayed until early October after the wedding. My broker said that lately a lot of sellers who have a specific date in mind are closing earlier and renting back for the extra time to lock in deals. I'd be fine with that.
I am trying to book a one week trip to our Florida home at the end of the month. Tricky timing as it has to be after the work in our living room is done and before my daughter's dress fitting.
Today is my town's annual street fair. The entire downtown area is blocked to traffic and 4 rows of booths run for the length. it is held the Wednesday of the week following July 4 every year. There is a group of 7-8 of us going who will meet for an early lunch at one of the downtown restaurants. I don't really want to buy anything but maybe I will see something for the wedding.
Time to get motivated. Have a witeless Wednesday!

4 inches! Now, that's significant progress . Moving on over to the "buff" side of of the clothing aisle is super satisfying. Once again...
well done and carry on.
