201.9 for me this morning.

Liz, it must be nice to have your house back to yourself, even if it is just for a day or two before the sisters come. It just struck me how fortunate you were to find DH who already synced with your snowbird lifestyle. Ron also is a Sunday brunch guy. He grew up going out to breakfast after church and still really likes to do that.

My plans changed yesterday. I hibernated. I stayed in my joggers and played games, read, puttered and watched a documentary about the BTK Killer. However, I did make Ron a delicious dinner while he was at church. So maybe the tree didn't get up, but I still surprised him with a delicious home cooked meal. He was delighted.

Grooming this morning and will most likely do puppy tails this afternoon or evening.

I would kill for some sunshine! Or wind (or even rain... ) I'm just not a big fan of cold, gray gloom. Thank goodness I have things to do today or else it could be another lounging day! LOL!

December tomorrow! YIKES!

119.4 - still

Last day of November! I can't believe that December will be here tomorrow.

All the company got home safely. Those departing from Orlando were about 1.5 hours late but that's not unusual out of that airport and those flying from our local airport were early. We were guestless by about 5:30.

All the laundry is done! Today beds need to be made and towels put away. Also, we need to go through the remaining snacks and drinks to determine what to retain and where to store them. The refrigerator needs some stuff to be tossed and I will make and freeze a turkey pie with the remnants from dinner either today or tomorrow.

This afternoon we are playing 9 holes of golf with friends then having dinner with them at the clubhouse. They have a new Sunday menu with pasta dishes made completely from scratch available as full or half portions. I love half portions!

One more day without guests tomorrow, then DH's 2 sisters arrive Tuesday for 9 days. However I just looked at the weather in Massachusetts and I wouldn't be surprised if they delay their arrival by a day due to the likelihood of snow on Tuesday. Luckily they are fairly self-sufficient so we don't have to entertain them all the time.

The bus leaves at 7:30 as usual on Sundays. I wouldn't mind skipping but it is a tradition for DH. After that we will have our usual Justice walk before we begin work on the house. Have a silent Sunday!

I am still in range - it's just that long held fear whenever my weight goes up that it will continue to do so.

Putting the tree up does sound like a nice surprise- I hope Ron was pleased!

And compression shirts for men are definitely a thing.

Compression undershirts for men are indeed a thing!

Greetings all

Air drying hair on this semi sunny day. We kind of got footballed out earlier so we are lounging peacefully. DH decided to experience his Irish heritage this morning by boiling a huge pot of potatoes. Nice comfort food but not exactly on plan. Anything to avoid cooking. That said, I am considering getting a new stove so maybe I won't hate cooking so much. Our stove is ancient and slow. I hear the new invection stoves are super fast. (auto correct says infection).

Yep Liz you are running a b and b. Fun but I bet you are looking forward to some down time. And as we call it, "quality time in the bathroom". Difficult when there are many guests.

Peps you da beast. Kudos on the work out. Hey I am still getting Facebook adds for bras for old ladies with saggy boobs. They are not pretty. Some have astounding engineering and look totally awful. No thanks. I will sag. Hug those pups.

So I will hit the gym in a bit and do my 20 minutes of walking. Not much but it matters.

The gallery is having an anniversary open house today. 13 years. I am staying away. More room for the shoppers.

DD one tote from the basement sounds like a good plan. No need to rush. Enjoy the home cozy feeling. There is truly nothing like being snowed in and not needing a thing so one can bask in the snuggly feelings.

Hmm Liz Christmas shopping done? We are only beginning to formulate plans. We will likely go to a friend's house - the one whose wife died just before last Christmas. So it will be bittersweet plus we all have to pitch in a lot as he has Parkinsen's disease and can't do what he used to. His late wife was an absolute master at entertaining and had 7 Christmas trees with ornaments from all over the world and it is always such a pleasure to go there. So we may not know ahead who all will be there so I need flexible gifts. Like bottles of local wine or boxes of CBD gummies...

Well off to prepare for the gym and maybe the appliance store. There is a large new one here in town.
