Yay for your sales, and Wowzah about your food choices. They sound delicious.

119.2 and DH was 190.6 yesterday. He is under his initial goal of 191. He has done really well but still has those cravings he has to manage. The biggest plus for me on the meds is eliminating that aspect for the most part.

I packed all the clothes, etc. into my suitcases yesterday and they fit! No having to pare down. In the afternoon we shared peel and eat shrimp and oysters for lunch then listened to the Electric Frogs playing Rolling Stones and other music from that era. By the time we got home and walked the dog we were too tired to change and go out so had pizza for dinner.

Today I have to help DH get his new suit into his suitcase with as little wrinkling as possible. After the usual Sunday breakfast we must do several loads of laundry, clean the house, remake beds and bring some of the stuff in from the lanai into the house. Luckily with the glass enclosure around the lanai we don't have to bring everything in. We also need to remove everything from the counters and walls in the bathrooms since we will be having work done in them while we are gone.

We leave the house at 6 pm and should get to the other home by 1 am. Luckily there is no pressure to do anything on the other end and it looks like decent weather there tomorrow after a very cold, rainy week.

Sad to be leaving - I think we might come down the first week in August though. Maybe I will stay here between that visit and the bachelorette party since it will only be a few days apart. Food for thought.

Have a somnolent Sunday!

Sounds like you are making some sales and enjoying your visit there. Hopefully the second day will go as well!

Greetings all

Cloudy today. Too bad because the Kinetic Grand Championship Race started today in Arcata. Pretty funny. Three day race. The start is fun to watch. Tomorrow they go on the bay.

So I did a dangerous thing today. Stopped and looked at an open house. It's on a nice street here that I have always admired. Really nice finishes and affordable. Geez why did I look? About the same size as what we have but better with hot tub. Oh well, I will probably fiddle around and someone will buy it. The true appeal is that it would force DH to dejunk. Has an oversized garage for his debris.

Yay DD sounds like a perfect day. You may experience some anxiety for being not productive. But it will pass. Bring it on! More plants!

Yikes Ann, power wash the roof? Good on you but OMG. Be safe please.

Good luck with sale Paula. Glad you had a good first day. Its fun.

After the house detour I got dog food, went to the studio and bought a 25 lb bag of clay. Once again reminded about how much even 25 pounds can weigh you down. I am on the cusp of looking into the meds.

Have a good trip Liz. Cape must be so fun in the summer. Enjoy.

P.S. I can't imagine maintaining any home with bricks, concrete, limestone, cultured or other kinds of stone or hardware, decks, even big expanses of glass without a power washer. Besides if/when you need to repaint porches decks and porches you have to power wash them first to clean them well.
