123.6 (-1.4) - still losing. Now that I am in the middle of my preferred range I need to make a more concerted effort to eat more. As I have commented previously how weird is that to have to work at it? I have frequently been skipping breakfast because I am generally not hungry until lunchtime but perhaps I will add my morning eggs back.

So nice to be here in Florida again. It feels like a vacation. Though it is warm it actually isn't any more so than what we have had up north during this hot summer. The beach was quite pleasant yesterday with a nice breeze as long as we stayed under the umbrella. We may try a walk this morning since we are up early.

My kindle almost died yesterday and I was feeling panicked! The charging port seems to be breaking down but I was finally able to get a charger in very delicately and got it to 100%. Time to order a new one. I looked back at my history and can see that I usually need a new one every 5 years (I bought my current one in 2019). So it was time. Hopefully the charge will carry me until the new one arrives up north. I can't survive without something to read and I prefer to do it on my kindle.

We are going to put pictures back up today in the living room. Though there are a few final things to be done by the contractor, the decorations won't get in the way. DD's bachelorette party is here in just about a month so I am glad we can get it back in shape and clean prior to that.

Not much else going on. No specific plans for the evening though we will likely go out somewhere. I also want to get a couple of things from the grocery store at some point.

Have a fructuous Friday!

Greetings all

Another nice sunny day.

Ocean Diane what a frightful event for your friends! Terrible. It's so good of you and others to help out. Hope they are on the mend. So sorry for the lost dog. Agreed. Bucket lists count.

Liz glad you are safely on the beach. You deserve it.

DD hauling suitcases up all those stairs! I think I would have just changed clothes in the car every day. Enjoy the visit and the rest of summer.

CC glad your dad is home. Agreed that hospitals make it impossible to rest. Remember a long time ago there were signs outside hospitals that said "Quiet Hospital Zone"? Now the inside of hospitals require ear protection. I remember when DH had his VSG there was a room across the hall that had an alarm going off constantly. It was worse than an airport.

I seem to have recovered from my homicidal mood. Nothing like a sunny day and a little time in the studio to improve attitude. I made some more items and have a lot to be fired tomorrow. I ran some errands and picked up meds and dog food. Both essentials of life.

DH had another vein done today and has one more Saturday. Can't believe they are doing it on a Saturday but it's true. Us retired people don't care what day it is. So he is ecsconced in his lounger with his legs i compression stockings. He is happy and dinner is all set for tonight so I am happy.

Bonnie onward on the new house. Have you explained to Swan?

Slow day here. Thats how I like it.

2 years ago my Aunt and Uncle loaned us their cottage in Ipswich for an entire month! What an adventure. They no longer have that cottage, so this time we're renting for just a week in Rockport Massachusetts, then staying a few days with my Aunt and Uncle in Amherst, and then back to a Boston for a few days.

I will have to save the name of that cream. Biting bugs seem to love me too.

I hope those antibiotics forestall any future complications. My SIL has a bladder cancer that requires scraping periodically. The first two times she got urinary tract infections. Since then they automatically give her antibiotics.
