I would hope your buyers release you at this point - such a disappointment to have to possibly start over though.
Completely agree with DD! Very impressive abilities you have post-surgery and over 60. I haven't been able to sit cross-legged comfortably in a LONG time.

So sorry about your aunt. It just takes a second for a slip and fall to happen as we age and the consequences are so much worse than when we were young (when we probably wouldn't fall but if we did we'd bounce back up with nothing broken). Hopefully her recovery won't be too onerous.
It remains to be seen if I'm right about the nickel allergy but once I suspected it, everything I read on it fit my situation. Though I did my own pedicure yesterday, I could have actually gone to a salon because my skin is completely healed. It has been 2-3 years since I have been able to do that because I always had broken skin from the blisters.

I do feel mostly recovered from my PS. Still have some lifting restrictions but even those won't be around for much longer. Incisions only hurt when touched and even then, not so bad. If I sleep on my side which I'm finally able to do, I need to put a small pillow between my legs so my thigh incisions don't rub on each other!
Good for you for getting back on that treadmill and extra points for adding the incline!
Greetings all
Pouring rain early this morning but it has subsided. Yikes, it is too early for the rainy season for me. I wi**** was always summer. I went to the gym and did my walking and felt better this time than last time. I guess I have to accept that some days I will just hurt more than others. Today I did the whole routine and even a bit of incline. After that it was studio time. I collected new things from he kiln and made some new stuff. Studio buddy showed up for awhile. I know she is missing art work but is hopelessly mired in the home building process. She wants to make her own decorative tiles for the bath and kitchen. I once entertained that idea but realized it would never get done and we needed a geezer proof bathroom pronto I sort of suggested that but...
Liz you guys are cute pumpkins. Sounds like a good event. Who knew that there was nickel in chick peas or anything else for that matter. Cool that you figured that out.
CC I am with your roofer - tarantulas would elicit squeals. Glad the roof is getting repaired.
That book sounds interesting Peps. I think I mentioned we watched the series "Adolescence" which was sort of about society failing teenagers and phones and social media were a large part of it. Enjoy a Monday of puttering.
Ditto DD. Funny about the chair. A boomerang chair. So sorry your aunt took a fall. She must be pretty uncomfortable and not much to be done but just wait and heal. Hoping she can get some relief.
Tastee sandwiches last night and again tonight. My DH is a peculiar person but he always seems grateful for whatever dinner I throw together.
Paula still channeling house sale energy. Are you feeling recovered from your plastics? I was amaze you went house shopping so soon.
Not much else. Diane S

I saw your pumpkin patch pics on Facebook. I am very impressed with the photo of you sitting cross legged. 1. Because it's challenging at our age espeically with creaky hips. 2. So soon after surgery! You're healing so well.
123.5. Second week of being on shot. Still eating sweets and salty snacks but meals have been smaller portions again. Will need to reign in the snacking!
DH and I and DSD and DC1 went to the pumpkin patch today. Thankfully the rain held out for us! I got a small sliced apple with caramel sauce which ended up being my lunch and of course had my lavender latte! We also brought home an apple pie. This place makes the best apple pies. Just the right amount of tartness for me!
DS2 will get into town tomorrow. He requested poke bowls for dinner so of course I will oblige!
DSD heads home tomorrow.
No word on if our buyers are going to release us from our contract. They are supposed to let us know by noon tomorrow. Even if they do, I'm not sure we have the time to get it done ourselves before our deadline next Monday. We will have to decide if we ask for an extension, offer for our sellers to add a bump clause but keep our contract going or just drop it altogether. Wish I had a crystal ball that would give me those answers!
Tarantulas! Yikes! I'll let you keep your scorpions and big hairy spiders! I know I get some new creepy crawlies to deal with when we move to FL!
Glad you are able to get the roof leak fixed! Way too nice of a place to have to put rotating buckets down in your bedroom to keep it dry!
Costco burger is the best. I'm sad we sold our grill so early in the clean out process, I miss a good grilled burger!
Nice you will have a room at your friends vacation honey. We are hoping friends will want to come and visit us in FL.
Hope your aunt heals okay. Not much can be done for broken ribs I'm afraid.
I'm not much of a reader, but this book sounds very interesting! My kids were born in 98, 99 and 2003. They had phones in high school, not middle school. I was not a helicopter parent at all, probably because I had kids later in life and my own childhood required a lot of independence!
Super adorable pumpkins! I agree with DD, y'all are looking great!
