118.2 - that quick increase in weight is holding. Should be interesting to see what happens over the next week. I don't feel like I am eating much more than normal but I am eating different things (and maybe more salty?).

The boat ride with the "girls" yesterday was a lot of fun. The evening out was okay - great band but the ambiance and food was so-so. Lots of leftover pizza that probably will end up being thrown out.

Yesterday we took the boat ride at the town just south of here and today we go to the one just north. First my walk and water aerobics. Then with the girls for lunch, outdoor music venue, and a stop at a bar where there is a very funny bartender that they like. Dinner back here - some kind of takeout but I don't know what? We had pizza last night and I don't know what else these guys eat though it seems like pub food is their favorite.

Have a super Saturday!

Well, good thing for a higher price to accommodate that commission. Most good realtors are worth every penny though.

No AC at the studio?!?! Obviously unheard of in Florida, though there are some places in Massachusetts especially on the islands off of Cape Cod where they just rely on fans when it is hot.

Busy, busy! Enjoy your get together today. Nice that your Aussie sister is here and that she is going to help with your parents. When do you leave for Scotland? That trip seemed to come quickly!

Naughty little puppy. Invisible Fences are fantastic most of the time until they decide to stop working. It was batteries that were the problem for me. I was on the battery plan, but a couple of times they died early.

Good to hear that your Dad is feeling well enough to do an overnight on the boat. I hope they can come up with some way to keep him from having this infections over and over again.

And as I responded on the thread yesterday, I would go to Sedona anytime! I will be there this year October 19-22.

I would do Sedona anytime! And CC's place is gorgeous.

I am going to try Hello Fresh when we get back to Florida for the year. I couldn't seem to get pricing though without actually signing up. That bups me.

LOL that you counted the stairs. I always count them for some weird reason. We have 32 up to our condo.

121.7.

Just a quick check in for me today. Meeting with realtor went well. Pricing was just a little higher then what we thought it would be but commissions a little higher. We will show the house on Wednesday then see what if anything is to happen!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Greetings all

The sun is out and it was actually too warm in my studio! It has some windows that open at the top - those old transom style ones - but they were stuck shut. The outside had been painted awhile back. Staff to the rescue with a box cutter. The studio is very close to the bay here so the breeze was immediate. Yay. Prior to the studio I ran errands for dog food and travel stuff.Then I walked at the gym and used the stairs. And DH, the electronics wizard, got the fitbit to work. He paired it with his own iPhone instead of mine. No clue why that worked.

So DH had lunch at the Marina cafe and brought home fish and chips. Dinner solved.

Liz enjoy girls day. But whew you wear me out with all the stuff you do! Kudos.

Ok CC I am in for Sedona. Look out! So Kirby had to go to the lake with kids. What's wrong with that? I guess plenty if he gets muddy. Glad your dad is feeling better as he must be to do a boat overnight. You guys know how to do summer.

As do you DD! Wishing you a little peace and quiet before you head off across the pond. We did a tour of the underground places people used to live in Edinburgh. Cool tour but weird way to live. And isn't it amazing how time slips by when you are not heavily scheduled! And isn't it grand?

Just realized that one of my pre trip chores is to remove more debris for the house sitter. She knows what slobs we are but you still have to pick up for the house cleaner.
