The flowers are hanging in there. I have fresh bouquet of Zinnias on the coffee table. Ther are buds still on the Zinnia plants. I wonder if they will have time to open before the first frost?

Sounds like High Potential is a takeoff on Elspeth? We used to watch that but her character got to be a bit annoying at times.

Lack of light at either end of the day bothers me - I need maximum light. Though it gets light later in the morning in Florida than in Massachusetts at least we have an extra hour in total on the darkest days of winter. Right now when we go out to walk at 7:15 we are leaving before the sun comes up. In December, sunrise will move to around 8 am. Yuck!

122.8. I can tell the shot is kicking in a little bit. Didn't really want to eat lunch today but I'm still snacking too much!

House saga continues. It really is a full blown **** show right now! 10 more days to get under a no contingency contract! Showed the house to a divorced Dad today and hoping our buyers will let us out of our contract with them this coming week.

Yesterday we drove up to Door County for the afternoon/evening. Shopped a little, visited with our favorite B&B inn keepers for a bit, bought sal****er taffy and chocolate at the local confectionery and had dinner at our fav restaurant. All in all a pretty good day.

Today DSD and DS3 rode into town for the weekend. Will celebrate DH's 60th birthday tomorrow with family at Olive Garden and then have cake at home!

Today's purging was a a bookshelf, and I found a journal I'd forgotten about. I wrote about our first vacation to Door County. : ). We must have had a great time, because I wrote that I told DH it was so perfect, we can never come back, because any other visit won't live up to this one. Plot twist, we have been back a couple of times, and every time is great! Glad you had a nice day, doing some of your favorite things.

Nice that you get to do some celebrating this weekend in the midst of the house crisis. Hopefully you can put it out of your mind for a little while at least.

I think some snacking comes from habit (seems to be an easy habit to get into). I try to allow a mid-afternoon snack and my mind always seems to want it - the cauliflower hummus is my go-to for that.
