123.6. Staying within about a 1 lb. range.

We are currently traveling to the La Crosse area. Today we will visit my Mom and then we have dinner reservations at a Supper Club in the downtown area.

DC1 got a date cancellation and a text saying I don't think we are going to work out just as they were planning on asking this person if they wanted to date exclusively. Of course they are quite disappointed. I'm hoping it doesn't cause a downward spiral.

Thanks for sharing your lives, like Ann, hearing from you all is a highlight of my day!

Too bad for DC1. I do feel sorry for them - so hopeful, yet so terribly fragile. Hope Vale navigates the let down without a downward spiral.

Me too!

Oh, sorry for DC1. It requires so much courage to put yourself out there. Hurts for Mama Bear too, knowing their cub is hurting and there's not a lot you can do to take the pain away. Here's hoping they bounce back, and continue to have the courage to seek happiness.

I am so sorry for DC1. Hard to find out that they were at a completely different place.

Greetings all

Lzing about here. DH is on an errand so I get to choose my news shows. I will get up and going in a few and stop at the gym. These days I go every day when I don't have too much other stuff so this is it. Got the July 4 grocery items yesterday to take to tomorrows festivities which should be interesting. This is the group that one friend won't go to because of the other annoying guy. The leader of this group died last December so our holiday gathering tradition is jeopardized. Glad this other friend is stepping up for july 4 though in the past she has been a grumpy resentful hostess. Oy vey, people. Our holiday is Halloween due to our neighborhood so I am mercifully spared a big cooking day.

Yow Liz that wedding is indeed an event. Big doings! I sure hope the less well SIL does alright. Good on her for making it there thought. Family gatherings matter. Glad your DH is there.

I am loving that DD and Peps check in earlier now that they own their time. So grand. Porch time. Peps I will see you Saturday.

DD so nice that your DD has a new apt with storage. Agreed on the shelves. There are lots of inexpensive options. Boxes stacked on the floor end up in the Twilight Zone. Just had a conversation with a friend from way back about our various hoarder relatives and how we had to call 1-800 Got Junk.

Yoo Hoo Ann good to hear from you. Yep your DH is right. Get that painting done now. Now or never. Have fun nesting in the newly remodeled digs.

Paula sorry that DC1 is having issues on the dating front. Not easy. Hope it does not lead to more issues.

I have started the dog blanket washing marathon. It is really not so bad - thinking about it is worse than actually doing it. I should remember that in all things - the dread that comes with contemplating an unpleasant task is worse than actually doing it. This is sure true for me for exercise and shopping and all manner of things. Need to remind myself of that.

Pot pie tonight. DH scored my favorite coffee on sale at the grocery. Small pleasures.

I agree that contemplating a task can sometimes make the task more daunting than it really is. And it feels so good when the task is done.

Ann this is the floribunda rose Bonica. Grows in the midwest. Thrives on neglect. DS

Beautiful! I wish I had more sun in my yard, I'd give it a try!

Something that thrives on neglect would be right in my wheelhouse!
