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.
124.4 on Moms scale. Couch sleeping sucks. She is doing pretty well but continues to need reminders about post op restrictions.
I worked on putting together some photo cards while she napped today. At least I got something productive done. She wants me to pick up some dilly bars at DQ with a gift card she has. Guess my dinner will be from DQ tonight! Not complaining!
Im hoping to head home tomorrow afternoon. I ordered her bath wipes and hair washing caps so she can get cleaned up (can't take a shower with foot bandage on). I hope they get delivered early so I can help her with it before heading home. I could delay my departure until Friday morning if I have to but I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed!
Another beautiful day in Aruba for Liz! Enjoy!

Oh man! Hope you are not too banged up! Emma likes to come up behind me and pounce right behind my knees. She is only 9 lbs. though! Kirby can do some serious damage! Praying the spot on your Dad's scan is nothing! Damn cancer!

You're probably right! We leave on Sunday. 
Wow! That was quite a zoomie! Good thing nothing was broken.
Best of luck to your Dad. Post-cancer it seems that there are often scares (which hopefully turn out to be false).

Kirby's zoomies finally took me down. He was hauling tail around the yard and came by from behind me clipping my right leg. I went down. Wrist, knee, ankle all torn up. He was not sorry and tried to walk on me while I was balled up on the ground. Little jerk!
I have lunch today with an acquaintance. I'm wavering on canceling. I can feel myself stiffening up. Maybe an Advil will set me right.
We were blessed with a half an inch of rain from thunderstorms last night. One of the best Junes for rain recorded in AZ. Yay!
My dad is having a biopsy for a suspicious spot on his remaining ureter picked up on his last Pet scan. I am praying it's nothing.
That's all for me. Hope you all are well!
What day do you leave? You do realize that your body is going to hold onto that last pound as hard as possible before it admits defeat.

200.9 UGH.... and I've been trying so hard to get this last pound off... I have been so good about my food intake. Utterly frustrating.
Today is my last "busy" day. Beginning tomorrow it will be all about packing and getting ready for the trip, whi*****ludes doing some major cleaning around here.
Luckily, my packing will be pretty easy. We don't have anything particularly fancy planned, so casual it shall be. Lots of shorts! I checked the weather as far ahead as I could. 70s and 80s for the entire trip except in Amsterdam where it is predicted to be in the 60s with some possible rain.
Must run! Client will be here soon.
