Weight 118.2. 10 days until the wedding. Eldest DD arrives from New Jersey late tonight so I am getting the downstairs room ready for her to stay and work in.
Deep thoughts about life changes yesterday: ThinLizzy navigating the world without DH but with support from her DD; Diane S learning about a new life being created on her birthday; a wedding coming; several of you planning for retirement. On the last note, it is scary but it seems that for most it just works out. Some spending adjustments just happen: fewer meals purchased during the work day, less gas, less money spent on work clothes, keeping the car longer so the loan is retired, etc.
Today we are taking DH's car to be fixed (it failed the annual required inspection last week so has not been drivable). Then we will go out to DH's home to put the wardrobe delivered Friday inside the house and mow the lawn. Not sure if we will bring Justice though he really does love taking walks there. My home is in a neighborhood with paved streets and though pretty with views of the pond doesn't offer as much for a dog - DH's neighborhood is mostly interconnected dirt roads ultimately ending up at the ocean beach where we can continue the walk. Lots of good smells and space to run.
Time to put the laundry in the dryer. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Time to leave already? That is a sound cleaning plan. Have a safe flight!

May I ask the name of the group? I hadn't thought about joining a FB group, but that's a good idea, thank you!
Lizanne, I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. It is such a good thing your daughter has been with you, and you can lean on each other for support and in love.
Congrats on the baby news! So cool that could help them out financially!
Congrats also on your consistency with the treadmill walking! You are doing better than me!
Neither DH or I have much of a pension. He gets about $100/ month from his deceased wife, my hospital stopped putting into our pension funds many years ago, so I only get about $300/ month from them. Thankfully, I get a good pension from my deceased husband (State pension plans tend to be very generous) and I can also use his leftover sick time pay to buy up health insurance premiums which should take me to Medicare age. Social Security and 401 Ks will have to round out the rest. I guess we'll get a better idea of actual costs/spending next year after we are both retired and move! And yes, kids will have to go off cell phone plans and current health plan come next year!

Hooray for getting to see them spend money on a miracle rather than waiting to leave them money! Way more amazing to get to witness the part you played.
Love must be in the air! Liz's DD getting married in less than 2 weeks, my DSD getting married in May, Liz's DS has a new beau, your DS has a new girl and I just got a text from my DS in Madison that he is not seeing his new beau any longer because he is "a conservative". Lol! I'm sure he will find plenty of Liberals to date in Madison!

Sadly, Red Lobster was a disappointment tonight. Ordered grilled shrimp and scallop skewers and the scallops were awful and the shrimp dry and over cooked.
