Yes! No more road trips until January. And that will be to Palm Springs which is an 8-9 hour drive with no time changes! Then I have no long hauls until March.

119.2 - why it's up 1.6 after 3 days at the same level baffles me but I'm sure it will settle down in a day or 2.

Yesterday it finally cleared in the afternoon after a week of rain and the sun actually came out. We went to our frequent Saturday afternoon venue for music then came home and finished the deconstructed pizza I made the other night. I was able to attend water aerobics before that even though my arms were a bit sore from the 3 vaccines. Still slightly sore this morning but not much.

This morning the bus leaves at 7:30 (of course). At some point today I need to give Justice a bath. He has a rather doggy smell. We have a Nine and Dine at 3 (nine holes of golf followed by a dinner). It should go off as planned now that it is finally dry though that was questionable up until late yesterday. We are playing in a foursome with good friends and we are all dressing up in pumpkin outfits of some sort or another (Halloween themed game). If all 4 team members are dressed up, points are deducted from the final score. Will provide pictures afterwards.

Have a surprising Sunday!

Nice that DSD feels comfortable inviting her other family members. We have both been lucky to be able to blend our families.

What a wonderful opportunity to step back into your younger shoes! Definitely tossing the awkward ones is in order, but the others could be a great gift for your kids eventually.

"A bit done in"? I would be completely wiped out after all the traveling you did. Are you going to stay put for a while?

Oh no! Hopefully they can improve the drainage design on the roof when they repair it?

I walked no more than 3 at a time. Buster and Grizz were a pair (as usual), then the two feral Cairn puppies were another pair. The 3 older adult Cairns I walked as a threesome. With three of us sharing walking/potty duty it really only took about 20 minutes to get all 12 dogs walked a pottied. Though, admittedly, I got up and out earlier than my traveling companions so that my dogs could have a nice proper walk by themselves before getting in the van for the day.

Sorry about the tail light Liz. I agree that the person doing the damage was a jerk not to leave a note.

123.4 today. Dang sal****er taffy! Lol!

DSD had a little breakfast party at our house today for DH with relatives from his first wife's family. I knew one was coming over to visit and was surprised when it ended up being 3 extra!

Dinner out with a lot of the same gang tonight.

Must be vaccination season. DH got 2 yesterday, Luz got 3 and I just got 3 a few minutes ago. Used my waiting time to get caught up with you all!

Peps, I somehow missed the walking terroir story, will have to back and see what I missed. Glad you are back home to your pack, including DH.

Nice to see you posting again CC. Missed hearing about your life and about Kirby's antics!

I've journaled off and on, but not with any consistency. The few I did when the kids were little are so fun and I wish I'd done more. I've already tossed some teenage ones because jeez, no one needs to know their Mom was an awkward kook. They already have physical proof of that living with me, they don't need to read it too.

One impressive self improvement plan from when I was 13:

Eat more fruit

floss every day

Stop saying stupid things

Still a good plan!

How fun to read journals from your youth. I've never kept a journal.

Ben did daily journaling to God. It was mostly a *****fest (sometimes about marriage, family and the stress of raising kids), so I decided after he died, they were not meant for anyone else to read and I deleted the ones on the computer and tossed the ones that were hand written.
