Hoping Blitz is okay. Always worrisome when something is off for an extended period.

Skinny Pasta: 9 calories per serving for the fettuccine. Most supermarkets carry it in the pasta section: Skinny Pasta

Greetings all
The sun is out big today. It is even warm. Today I will celebrate by doing exactly what I want all day long. Actually that is what I do most every day but today I won't feel guilty about it. Not much different than any other day. I will likely go to the gym and studio. We will have dinner at our favorite ocean view restaurant and it should not be foggy tonight. There is a gallery membership meeting but I am going to skip it. Nothing urgent and I just don't want to go.
Yeah the blimp is noisy if it is flying low. It was high enough yesterday I did not hear it. I think it has a rear propeller. Once it was flying low over the freeway here and it was loud.
So the house is being cleaned and the dogs are happy to have their favorite visitor.
Hey Liz post a picture of the dress. Sounds like a fun event. And what is the skinny pasta?
Peps I hope Blitz is not sick. Sometimes that stuff just goes on but needs to be checked out. You sure do a lot for a retired person! The biggest joy is to be able to fiddle around and not feel like every second must be productive.
Keep healing Paula. Please take it easy. Good luck on house search.
CC hope to hear from you when you can. Guests sure take up a lot of energy.
We watched the series Ballard. Pretty good. I think there will be season two.

Good Tuesday morning, and..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANE S!!!!!!!
Quick post as I have to get Blitz to the vet. He's had diarrhea for two weeks. He's fine in all other aspects, but that long term diarrha is worrisome.
203.9 - up a full pound. I expected to be down today. Go figure. I shall blame my good workout, because it wasn't food intake!
Got a lot of "Dad" stuff done yesterday, plus many of my other chores. Still have a few things to cross off the list today, but the majority of what I needed to get done yesterday got done!
Read a little something about habits being the root of change. That sat well with me. Makes a lot of sense. Here's to creating "habits of change"!
Adios!
Happy Birthday Diane! Enjoy your day!
117.8 - productive bathroom time yesterday. Justice was also back down a bit after the same LOL.
i really liked my new PCP! At my office up north my PCP was okay but I liked the NP better. The new one here reminds me a bit of the NP. Young, knowledgeable, and personable. I think I am going to like having a woman physician. My referrals are in place for mammogram, bone density, and seeing an ENT. And I have a dermatology recommendation.
Today, the furniture update begins. The Habitat Restore is picking up the old sleep sofa. I need to move the other furniture off the very large, very heavy carpet so I can shift the rug over about a foot to one side to better match the flow around the new furniture setup. The new couches arrive tomorrow. For future, I need to work on updating the pillows as I have been using ones from my former Florida place and DH's. Sort of a mishmash of colors. This stuff keeps me busy.
Tonight there is a final summer Ladies night at the Beach Club. Clothing in citrus themes - I got a sundress from Amazon with lemons on it. It is actually kind of cute and made fairly well so it will be a good beach cover-up afterwards. I am going with a friend and her husband is driving us. It will be good to get out as I have been alone here since arriving on Saturday. I like alone time but am missing DH. Previously when we have been apart there was more going on and knowing that it is another week before he gets here makes it feel like a very long time. He is driving to NY to watch the grandchildren for most of the next week so he will be busy.
So I mentioned that I had that Skinny Pasta the other night and liked it? I think that was actually the weight gain because I ate a lot of it and I think the fiber made it take a long time to digest. I read that it can be an issue for some people. Note to self: Don't eat more than the recommended serving size even if the calories are low.
Have a tippy Tuesday!

Blimps are noisy? I guess I have never seen one very close. I assumed there were fairly silent,

It is funny how Monday becomes a highlight after retirement. Deceased DH used to call the feeling of dread about the work week Sunday Syndrome. No more of that!
I am glad you are enjoying the Cooperstown area. It really is quite beautiful. I liked the exhibits about woman's baseball when I went to the museum but there was much that everyone else lingered at and I didn't, that I ran out of steam. I am also not interested in ever going back.

Next week for house hunting! That's coming fast.
Sorry about your thigh. Maybe they will leave the stitches there longer to make sure it doesn't open anywhere else. I have heard the thighs are the toughest to heal.

later iPad check in due to gallery duty. Has some sales and enough to be fun. We spotted the Goodyear blimp leaving our airport . it is stored at our airport when not used. Guess it is on its way south to football games, I has not seen it in a few years but often in the past, noisy when close,
not much else out to fave scenic restaurant fur my birthday tomorrow. Crab cakes studio and maybe gym time, I feel lucky that there is nothing I really need,otherwise usual stuff
cc glad too hear from you, catch up when you feel up to it,
sunny here and all is well
dianes
told ya dd that you would like Monday's, nice
more tomrrow
cheers Dianes
CC, thanks for checking in. I look forward to your updates on the goings on with your guests. And we always need updates on Kirby!
Liz, getting established with a PCP in Florida seems like a very good plan. You're there more time now than you are on the Cape.
Peps your relaxing retirement day seems pretty busy! I do think Mondays are the best day in retirement. Instead of dreading the day, I'm excited for what the week will bring.
The drive to Cooperstown from Ithaca was long, but very pretty. I thought I wouldn't find much to look at in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but there were several exhibits that interested me, and I stayed in the museum as long as anyone else. I'm glad I went, but would not need to go again. Of the various hall of fames I've visited, my favorite was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I would go to that again.
Tomorrow we will go for a short walk after breakfast, and then visit some more wineries. We are going to go to 4, maybe. They are on Lake Seneca, and they all just look so pretty, I didn't want to cross any off the list. But none of us want to do 4 tastings, that is just too much. So we decided we could tap out at least once. Or DH and I might share tastings. But if we do that, we can maybe enjoy the scenic beauty of several places.
