117.8 - my prediction of an uptick was incorrect - I guess I don't always go up after steak.

Yesterday I got my hair done - I had her change the front a little bit - we shall see if I like it when I dry it myself. Good bocce practice yesterday afternoon, then our steak at home.

Last full day before we leave for a week in Arizona. When we booked it (prior to most of the other travel occurring), I was looking forward to it. I am kind of travelled out though so I am somewhat dreading it. But it will be good family time and I love Sedona and look forward to seeing CC.

Today is water aerobics, beach club (we haven't been there to sit at the beach in more than 2 weeks), bocce game, then book club this evening. Lucky that we don't leave until noon tomorrow so I have time to finish packing.

Justice walk time! Have a winning Wednesday!

Traveling is wonderful, but if you are on the go, switching hotels or AirBnBs frequently, it is also work. There are lots of deadlines ,( as in must do this by such and such an hour), to meet. And again and again I beg myself to pack light so that it's easier to repack in each hotel, but it's so hard to resist throwing in that one more outfit or pair of shoes, just in case! Enjoy the beach club today! The weather for Galveston looks very nice next week and I am campaigning for a beach day where we rent umbrellas and chairs. BIL says they enjoy doing this, but when we travel with them it turns into go go go and it never happens. We'll see about this trip.

Paula this house thing is so stressful! Sending positive vibes.

It rained an inch in our town yesterday. It's overcast still today, but I think the rain has stopped. Still chilly, but tomorrow it might get to 70.

Today is cleaning and finally tackling that dust. Also a stop at the Farmer's Market for fresh tomatoes and green beans. The cleaning will serve us well because we'll come home from Galveston to a tidy house. Always nice. I probably won't get to packing until Friday. Also need to get a pedicure on Friday. The next salon pedicure after this one will most likely be in preparation for Brazil! DH started Duolingo for Portuguese. It's fun listening to him pick up new words. He insists he cannot learn a language, but he hasn't tried since college German. No matter what, he'll now be able to get a coffee with or without milk or iced if he wants it. Valuable skills indeed.
