A day of rest for you Liz! Yay! Hopefully the weather will cooperate so you get a good Justice walk in. I?ll be missing my new found water aerobics and neighborhood walks while in WI.
Feeling a bit better about DSD situation this morning, not that anything has changed, but dust has settled a bit and sleep was had after a very long day on the road. It is still undetermined if she will stay with us or aunt now. Her choice! The blow up happened because I received an email in the car yesterday from the Air Bnb we are staying at stating their pet policy which was not on their listing whatsoever. Listing simply said pets welcome! Anyway, the email states that 2 pets max are allowed and that there is a $70 charge per pet. In the past, with other Air Bnbs, limits and extra charges have always been disclosed in the listing. I text her letting her know limits and suggested that she either leave the cat home with her husband that has to work and is unable to attend Christmas or have the cat stay at her aunts house which is near our Air Bnb. She blew a gasket and reamed me out a new one for ruining her Christmas with the news and she needed to take her emergency anxiety medicine and it is all my fault! I?ll try my best to just let it go! Lord please help me!
Travel today so far has been good. Got through Louisville and Indianapolis with no major delays. Fingers crossed the same goes for Chicago and Milwaukee. After Milwaukee we are home free! Can?t wait to hug my boys!
Safe travels for those traveling and/or having family traveling!

118.4 - unchanged, even after a popcorn snack yesterday afternoon, meatloaf and potatoes for dinner, then a small slice of homemade carrot cake back at the house. All worth having btw, which is my mantra - no point in eating something unless it is worth it. I checked my weight a year ago and I am a pound less right now. So I have stayed in the same relative range for about 15 months. Thank you tirzepatide for making maintenance easy.
Safe travels to Paula, CC, and DD's family. Lots of movement today on Christmas Eve Eve.
We have NO plans today!!! Probably a short food store run, maybe some cookie baking, then leftovers for dinner. Definitely Christmas music over the charged Bluetooth speaker, followed by a Christmas movie. We watched White Christmas last night. Still makes me teary eyed in certain parts.
This morning we hope to get in a true Justice walk. Yesterday we only made it halfway down the road as the wind was so strong that with the cold air we were all frozen. Justice was happy to dash back to the house. There is a chance of slight snow here this morning followed by rain. But there might be enough snow on the ground in Central Massachusetts where DD lives for there to be a white Christmas at her home on Thursday. A small amount not affecting travel is fine with me.
Have a tree lighting Tuesday!

You really have been Kimbled but I'm sure it will feel great once you have things up to snuff in your home. Kirby will likely have a grand time, but I bet he will be tired when he gets home.

I'm glad you stopped - that is a long time to drive! DSD sounds like she needs some more maturing. She will get better. Remember my DS was pretty difficult for quite a while. In fact, he still has a hard time with the idea that we will be going north less and less over the future. Which is kind of funny because I have seen him more in Florida than up north since he moved to Maine 18 months ago.

We need Christmas music at the house. Always lovely to listen to. We have been listening in the car but didn't have anything set up at the house so I charged the Bluetooth speaker yesterday so we can listen today.

I bet you were a bit off because you needed more sleep - hopefully you don't also have a bug. What is your plastic surgery date? I am jealous. I'd love to have another facelift and eyelid lift, but I don't want the uncomfortableness, the downtime, or the expense. I might feel different in another year though.

Feeling better and the magic of deer in the backyard! Christmas must be coming!

Aargh, I lost my post. Let's see, I took Kirby to the kennel. He was so excited to get to see all the other dogs, didn't look back at me. I suppose that's a good thing! of course, I worry about him and hope they're being nice to him.
the deck work is now focused on the final part, which is the stairs. According to the guy that's doing the work. It's the hardest part. I don't doubt it, they've been at it for at least two days and have at least another day to go. The project manager came by today and said it was a good thing. I had them remove all the stairs as well because they had also nailed all of that straight into the stucco with no flashing. I'm getting Kimble'd all over the place!
I just made an emergency run to the grocery store because I ran out of Diet Coke. Well, I would be fine tonight, Saturday Ceci would have been very upset with me for leaving her in the lurch.
I need to pack, but first I need to work on my list of what to pack. It shouldn't be hard, I don't think we're going anywhere while I'm there, so I don't need anything dressy.
I remembered to put the pool cover pump on as we're supposed to get a lot of rain while I'm gone, and I moved all the cushions into the cat patio.
Last night was really fun, I'm glad I put on my big girl pants and went.
Anyway, I should get to packing. Hope everybody's having a good day!
120.4, same.
Far from a Magical Monday for me. 13 hours on the road today. We bit the bullet and stopped just past Nashville instead of the intended Louisville. We just didn't have it in us to travel any longer. Unfortunately we have to pay for both hotel rooms since it was too late to cancel the one in Louisville. Oh well, a good night's sleep is worth the extra cost.
Another big blow up with DSD. That girl is going to be the death of me. So much f/ing drama. I'm honestly at my limit with her and won't be able to bite my tongue much longer. It takes a lot to make me really mad, let's just say the F bombs were flying around our car today (DSD didn't hear any of it) I mostly just vented to DH and the dogs since they were my captive audience.
I'm glad it appears the rest of you did indeed have a magical Monday. Hoping for a Tremendous Tuesday!

ipad check in from the gallery. It is slow but fine with me. I decided I might as well sit here with a cold as sit at home. The sun popped out for a bit and I was able to warm my back in the south window.
unfortunately colds last a week or more for me. So I take a cold pill and endure. Listening to pentatonix Christmas which is great. Earlier I had to get payroll and go by the studio to deliver and pick up new stuff
thinking of cc traveling. Good luck.
sounds like you all are ready for Xmas. Enjoy all the family fun. We will be with our elective family on christmas
Watched the movie Wolfs last night. Pretty good also started some alien series which is awful
more when I have a keyboard
