116.4 - 118.6 (somewhere in there)
We didn't go to the resort next door for Happy Hour after all. We went to our own resort because they had a woman singing and it wasn't busy. Dinner at a New Mexican restaurant across the street. Really fresh and tasty and fairly healthy (not a lot of added goop). The reviews were mostly good but some people complained about small portions, which of course was actually a plus for me. Not too expensive either.
The rental car never moved yesterday but it will today. Boredom has set in. We will do our morning walk and then I will do water aerobics while DH goes to the gym. We plan to actually go to the Butterfly Farm today, out to lunch, then pick our friends up at the airport just after 2. Tonight we have dinner at a restaurant on the highest point of the island near the lighthouse. Hopefully there will finally be a sunset as we haven't seen one yet. It looks like there will be more sun today, so maybe?
Water aerobics is much more challenging here than I expected. He works the arms and shoulders a lot for strength in ways that are tougher than my Florida class, but good for me.
Time to get walking. Have a thirsty Thursday!

Hmmm...I use these in my coffee too. I don't think coffeemate would be any healthier would it???

Well said: "Cancer is a thief in so many ways, and peace of mind is one of the things it steals." My SIL lives through it every time she has an appointment upcoming with her oncologist.

I had progressives at one point - I do remember that they took some adjusting to.

Can the doctor have someone come from visiting nurses a few times a wee****il she can shower to help her bathe?

LOL, Justice does that too especially when he is excited about going out on a walk. It makes my knee collapse sometimes.

Hmm. Just trying to grab headlines? https://nypost.com/2025/06/03/lifestyle/ozempic-fans-flock-t o-most-unhealthy-bottled-drink/?utm_source=instagram&utm_med ium=social&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_content=nypost_stories&fb clid=PAQ0xDSwKt0mpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp6SfkftdJDOmp5bhgFTqGlkRc JAMgNHhJpzIIkCvIOhDXe2k6-QQQ8kPW2i9_aem_hfHp2_IiCwXLkDEjDa3g Ig
Liz I like your idea of searching for the best happy hour. I will live vicariously through your quest.
Peps maybe that last pound wants to go to Europe and then stay there? I'm reconsidering my patronage of Chik Fil A. For a long time we didn't eat there because of the owner's support of anti equality organizations. But over time the controversy faded, and it wasn't until I read your post that I remembered.
CC hoping for good news for your Dad. It's tough always living with these episodes of uncertainty. Cancer is a thief in so many ways, and peace of mind is one of the things it steals.
Paula, remember when you could sleep anywhere? One hot summer in the city my roommates and I would sleep on the living room floor because we could open the door to the fire escape , put a fan in front of it , and sleep a little cooler. I would not want to sleep on a couch either.
Diane good for you getting your walking in, even when you are tired and didn't want to. I must follow your example.
Another day with some drama, some laughs, a few paperwork things knocked back. Tomorrow is paperwork all day, but at least paperwork at home, which is more comfy, and probably more productive. I wonder when I should "call in sick". Probably a few more hours, and it will be an email rather than a call.
I'm living in the Emerald City here. The rain makes everything so very lush and green. Its a bountiful season.
Greetings all
More sun and wind. Ok with me. I did my walking and really had to force myself as I was feeling tired today. No particular reason but I got through it. My new favorite song helps.
Love your travel reports Liz. Indeed try all the nearby resorts. It is your duty as a tourist.
So after walking I went to the studio and made some new stuff. Then off to the eye place for new glasses. Finally normal glasses after three months of limping along with readers and such. Gotta say the new ones are kind of weird but I think they will work. I had gotten out of the habit of using progressives and must re- learn.. Stopped at the hippie grocery after that for a few things.
Paula glad your mom is doing ok. Yay for dilly bars! And for DQ food in general. I do not envy you couch sleeping though.
CC who knew how hazardous a big dog could be? Hope your injuries are minimal and heal fast. No fun. My dogs would have probably killed me by now except they are small. By all means take an advil. Sending good wishes for your dad's prognosis.
Peps that pound will depart when it is good and ready. But it will happen and I predict soon. Meanwhile, European desserts await.

Oh my, that fall does not sound good at all. When all that beautiful muscle is hurtling at you, its intimidating. We have a hill in our backyard, and when are golden would come tearing down the hill directly towards me I would think, keep your knees soft! She never took me out, but she did one of our friends.
