Hope all goes well for all family members at the dentist this afternoon.
Greetings all
It is overcast and quite cool here today. I almost feel guilty for enjoying it as so much of the nation is under a huge heat wave. People here are fearful that as global warming occurs, more people will move here and upset our idyllic little spot. Oh well.
So sitting here doing my version of porch sitting which is drinking coffee and net surfing. Scrabble group got canceled which is a relief as I still have the dental adventure in the afternoon. Tesla is having her own dental adventure and will be coming home with two fewer teeth.
DD that is so cute that your nephew showed you his kitchen purchases. Remember being young and acquiring some small but adorable household thing after much shopping and consideration? Wishing him the best with his new place. And yay for extra lasagna
Gosh Liz your SIL is awfully thin. Has she ever tried cbd oil and such for appetite? Good that she ate a decent dinner. And good on her for doing all that she does. Yep Justice is going to love his new yard.
DH has taken Poppy out for a walk. She has been a little off today as Tesla is gone for the day. She sure fussed a lot when DH left with Tesla early this morning. Little did she know what was in store for Tesla. I have some ground chicken I will cook for her.
Not much else. The remainder of the pot pie is dinner tonight assuming my dental adventures permit me to eat that.

Your SIL is a fighter for sure! Good to hear she is feeling better than she was in Madrid.
I in no way regret offering a place to stay for my nephew, but for the next few weeks I need to be more strategic. Right now I am blissfully alone in the house, but I think BFF will be returning with her 3 grandchildren for the day. They are great kids, but use lots of energy. Instead of going to work out right now, I'm going to enjoy the quiet, and then go workout when they get here.
Yesterday I didn't get my newspaper finished until 9pm. My sitting on the porch is an invitation to sit in the other chair and chat. There is a lot to process, because nephew, and then his Mom are in a great deal of distress. Things are not good. So listening is a gift I can give. I can keep doing this because there is a time limit (August 5 is closing date on the new condo.) One kind of sweet thing, nephew showed me a Rubbermaid collection of storage containers he bought. He unpacked them, showed me the various sizes and the snap on lids. It is his first purchase for his new home.
So today plans are to work out, and then do some gardening and yard work. Also laundry. I don't need to plan dinner because there is a lot of lasagna left over from last night. Looks like a nice day is on tap, although could be humid.
One thing I wanted to get better at: the eternal "we should get together". I've sent texts and have get togethers with 3 different friends on my calendar. I hope to continue reaching out and getting together with people whose company I enjoy.
117.4 - same as yesterday
Yesterday I had a couple of hours at the beach while DSD worked, DH went golfing, and the fence guys put fence poles all around the backyard. I expect the latter will finish today and Justice will have his safe enclosure which he will be thrilled with. There is nothing he likes better than being outside on a sunny day.
DSD and I went to the other end of the Cape to meet SIL for dinner. It was meatloaf Monday but they had run out of meatloaf! But my fish sandwich was quite good. It was so encouraging to see SIL eat almost her whole meal! She has apparently been making a concerted effort this week to gain weight, making pancakes for breakfast, and also trying to increase protein as much as possible. She has shrunk a lot from about 5' 8" previously to about 5' 4", but her weight got all the way down to 101. That is ridiculously low.
Today we leave early for Martha's Vineyard. Should be a nice day to pay tribute to deceased DH. Weird to be carrying around his ashes though.
Time to get my act in gear. Have a tidy Tuesday!

You are really being proactive on the junk removal. I was not: One huge effort before putting the house on the market and a second not quite as bad one when moving out.

That's where assigning priorities comes in - makes it less daunting.

It is very disturbing to hear that medical people may be jumping the gun on declaring death to hasten organ donations. It seems like rules about when death can be declared need to be established that are consistently applied regardless of location. Stories like this will make all of us pause when considering donating our own or a loved one's organs.

DH is the same with his handwritten lists but he did use this. He had complained that there was too much to accomplish and he needed to focus. So he attacked the priority 1 tasks first, then the 2's etc.

LOL. You can probably mark me safe from spread sheets. I'm kind of technology challenged.
Did you micro blade before? DD does it, and while a bit pricey, it lasts years, and looks really nice.
