Interesting: I'd like to hear more about who's minding the store.
The weather looks like it will be nice here too. Not Florida warm, but pleasant for April. Liz, your return to Cape Cod this year must be feeling different, as you won't be working to get your house ready for the market. And now you will live in a different town when you're there. How does this change feel? Are you at home now when you're there or still settling in?
Paula, has golfer in the family too. I'm feeling a little trepidation to try it out. I am not athletic in any way, and have flashbacks to PE disasters. But my golf clubs have been extracted from the basement, polished, and are waiting for an outing, so I'm going to give it a try.
Yes, coffee is on the schedule this morning. Its been so crowded lately that we are arriving after the ru****s no hardship, as both of us can putter around in the morning quite happily.
We are still working our way through Only Murders in the Building. We watched a few episodes last night, and will probably fini**** up this evening. Theater on the books for tomorrow evening. It's a happily relaxed weekend.
144.8 (.2#) from the tip top of my range. I have been eating just plain old crap food with total mindless impunity and it is catching up with me.
Just now caught up on all the days I've missed here. My total loss ...only reason seems to be my total lack of time management which ties into above mentioned lack of prioritizing what is and isn't daily important considerations for a happy, healthy and productive lifestyle. I have fallen into thinking that I should "get done all tasks, small or large, before doing "me".
So, instead of listening to the load of laundry calling, I'm off to refresh my coffee and visit a bi with y'all on TT!
Personal thoughts for today's meditation- Who's minding the store? and right order of daily activities that will bring growth and wellbeing.

Glad your "neighbor" owned up to her inappropriate comments...taking responsibility for poor behavior, however, doesn't mean you're obligated to be her friend again. My favorite response to such as that is to acknowledge the apology ("I appreciate your saying that; I did not ask for, nor did I deserve those harsh words."). You certainly are not obligated to refriend such a person just because they apologize.
124.6, uh oh, below my range. I will increase calories another 100 to 1300 daily (though I don't always get my calories in!) Yesterday I had 1094 calories but was pleased with my 115 grams of protein! That's quite a bit more than I usually have!
Sunny day so far with temps that should go into the high 50's. DH is going to try and hit some golf balls today. He will sub in a league Monday if it isn't raining! Treadmill or Jane Fonda step workout for me. I'm leaning toward Jane Fonda as I did the treadmill yesterday.
It was great to see DS3 last night. He only stayed for dinner before going back home. He is moving into a new apartment next week so has to prepare for that. The main reason he came home was to attend his psych appointment but a free dinner is always nice too! We actually talked a lot which was awesome!
Tonight DH and I will go out for sushi and then attend a Foreigner tribute concert. Looking forward to a date night!
Have fun dog walking, water aerobicing and hanging out with DSD today Liz!

I just realized that we are leaving Florida a month from yesterday. The weather has been so gorgeous that I'm not ready. I never am but then I feel the same way when I leave Cape Cod to return here for the season.
DSD arrived late yesterday afternoon. We went to Happy Hour at the club where she met a lot of people then to a quaint restaurant with music and good food where we ran into some more friends. Getting to know so many people has definitely contributed to my feeling that this is home.
This morning we have dog walking, water aerobics, then are going to the next town north for lunch and outdoor music. Beach Club for dinner tonight.
Have a serendipitous Saturday!

Definitely sounds like it is best to ignore the difficult neighbor after all her nasty remarks. Obviously you can't trust her to apologize and really mean it.

Of course the dogs had to dirty up the floors - that's their job isn't it LOL?
Now I have Purple Rain running through my head...

Your co-workers idea of going to a restaurant with your immediate group sounds like what I did with the people in my department. Much better than a big official send-off. After I left I didn't miss the work but I did miss the people.
I'm sure the coffee shop is also in the weekend plans?

That's pretty cool that you won't need so many drops. When my mother had it about 20 years ago she had that drop routine.
