I really can't remember the last time I ate pancakes. Not a fan of them either. They're like thick clouds with no flavor and lots of calories from the syrup you have to slaver on them just to have something to taste.

What a deserving paean that is to the professional life you chose for yourself. You're one of the goodest ones!

119.4

I thought I would see a posting already from Peps this morning like yesterday since he is so many hours ahead in his day. Hopefully that means he is having a fun day!

We had the usual day yesterday doing a lot of nothing, then went out to dinner at that older, expensive restaurant. My fish was about the best I have had but both DH and our friends were disappointed with their meals. A very expensive not great meal though the atmosphere is really nice.

DS is on the road today to pick Justice up and bring him to our Cape house. His birthmother and stepsister on that side are staying with him for a couple of days this weekend so he can show them that part of Cape Cod. His birthmother is familiar with where my house was because her parents had houses there and she has lived in that area for the last 15 years. DH's part of the Cape is very different with Cape Cod bay on one side and the National Seashore on the other. DS worked and lived within a few miles of DH when he first came back to Massachusetts after working in California following college. Of course we didn't know DH then.

DH just left to go fishing this morning. He and 3 of our friends chartered a boat for the morning. I am doing my usual walk and water aerobics this morning while they are gone. Not sure what we will do for dinner tonight as this is the last unplanned night. We have 4 nights left here.

Have a theme full Thursday!

This spring has not had consistently good weather anywhere.

Jealous that you went kayaking. I brought mine to DH's Cape house but we need to figure out how to get them around - he doesn't have a pond within kayak walking distance like I did. We are thinking of putting a hitch on his Jeep and buying a utility trailer to pull them around. Neither of us can manage a roof rack which is what I used to use when I was young.

Thank you! It means the world to me if I made a kid feel seen and valuable.

I know for sure that you impacted people in a positive way during your professional life, by extending kindness and empathy. There are people who were in a bind or tough situation *****member to this day that you helped them out.

Yep the places that sell the snorkel masks have a selection of common eyeglass lens types that you can get off the shelf. Not exact but good enough. I got DH custom made snorkel mask lenses because he was blind as a bat. Now that we have both had cataract surgery those masks are probably no good. Who knows. But like Liz says they are not a big expensive deal.

LOL Peps too young to be from Florida.......

126.3 (I think). My appetite suppression hasn't been near what it was and the food noise is back. I'm thinking my body got used to the 2 mg and might need a bit of a boost. I think I'll try 2.5 on Sunday and if I'm still feeling hungry and snacky might even move up to 3. My calories are sitting between 1400 - 1500 most days but I feel like I could definitely eat more most days. I don't mind feeling hungry before meals but don't like the snack attacks and cravings for sweet and salty things!

As mentioned before and on FB, we did get out kayaking today. 1 nicer day and then back to crap weather tomorrow.

Going to grill out veggies and beef tenderloin for dinner. DSD left some leftover roasted Parmesan potatoes from our fancy dinner on Saturday so I think I will warm those up too!

Bible study and who knows what else tomorrow.
