I can imagine that derby week must be a huge deal there!
A friend's father poo-pooed the idea of a bidet when his daughter bought him one until he was in his last years and all personal grooming became a chore. Then he praised it for allowing him to independently use the toilet.

125.7. Getting close to the low end of goal weight range. Time to increase my calories to 1200. My weight is actually lower than what is on my driver's license! That never happens! Lol!
Workout today was good. I did 40 minutes on the treadmill with speed at 3.7 mph and intervals at 5 and 7% for grade. That puts the workout in the "vigorous" category for exercise. I also did about 20 minutes of a 30 minute resistance training you tube video combining hand held weights with lower body squats and lunges and some ab and butt work thrown in for good measure!
Need to go grocery shopping. Will be picking up stuff for shrimp orzo (tonight's dinner) and Liz's chicken Marsala for tomorrow nights dinner.
Also need to continue my SEO work on Etsy website!
But first.....shower time!

Agree with DD! Buy the expensive shoes! Well worth the investment!

I've never used a bidet! Our favorite Japanese Hibachi restaurant has them but I don't think I want my maiden voyage using one to be in a public restroom! Lol!
Derby week sounds fun! Enjoy!

I'm alive, I'm alive! Work on the home proceeds here apace. I've been doing more errands around town (picking up stuff, making decisions about everything from drawer pulls to wallpaper, etc.) and just not available much to be online.
The big news I have to report is that we now have the world's fanciest (and likely priciest) toilet that raises the lid, turns on its light, washes you clean with warm water after you have done your business, dries your nether regions, flushes itself, lowers the lid and turns off the lights, and for all I know styles your hair if you ask it to do that for you. Needless to say, we are both learning a lot about the joys of bidet'hood. DH is infatuated beyond belief, and I just think it's ridiculous.
This part of the world is now gearing up for the Big Event of the Year--Derby Week! I dunno what we're going to be doing, although I'm sure that bourbon and parties will on the agenda. Obviously, we won't be entertaining, since we'll either be moving our furniture in that week or just about to move our furniture the following week. Next year we'll put on the dog.
I haven't even had time to read the past week's postings here, which I hope to do this weekend. I hope everyone is doing well, that your loved ones are well, that your travels have been without incident, and that your weight has been stable. Xoxoxo

Shoes that don't hurt are worth it. It's an investment that will pay off every time you golf.
We're on the way to the airport. I was expecting a very bumpy take off from all these storms, but it looks a lot calmer this morning. See you all back in Minnesota.
120.6 - unchanged since yesterday
Golf yesterday was fun - not my best game, nor my worst. If I could putt decently I would improve my game immensely. But my feet were killing me from the golf shoes. I have bunions and hammertoes (aka old lady feet), so even shoes which are rated high for comfort can hurt my feet. These seem to be hurting more and more. So... I ordered AllBirds golf shoes after reading several reviews. Their sneakers are really the only ones I can wear for an extended period of time so I bit the bullet. They cost about $50 more than the ones which are going to a donation bin but I just don't think I can put them on again.
Yoga today, then I'm not sure what we will do. Maybe beach again for a while. Dinner is likely out somewhere.
DH is playing in a senior men's golf tournament both weekend days so I will just be hanging around. Maybe doing some sort of project... Probably should find a place to donate some clothing and the golf shoes. I do need to get DH's very old laptop on the new network. It is too old to connect wirelessly.
Have a fabulous Friday!

I'm sure you will be able to keep on trucking through the years :)

Listening (and walking) to Tina sounds like a good idea. I will have to ask Alexa for some Tina Turner music today. I always picture her all dressed up onstage with those incredible legs even when she was our age.
