No weight - off to Universal Islands of Adventure for early park admission in 5 minutes. No ho****er this morning so I need to ask for a credit. Ridiculous!

I expect to be exhausted by tonight. We are planning on being done by 5 when we have a reservation for dinner, then will drive back home.

Have a transporting Tuesday!

We really enjoyed the Harry Potter rides and theming. Hope you are having fun.

I picked up the special Finnish pasties, and brought them over to the church kitchen. I also went to my Dad's neighbors on either side to let them know. I think everything is done until tomorrow. BFF arrived, and is now sitting in the family room with my Dad letting him talk, God Bless her!

Pasties are delicious! And rutabagas are a must according to our friends the Carlson's who's mother made them from scratch.

I'm not sure I've had a pastie but they sound good! Glad others are lending their ears to your Dad so you get a bit of a break!

120.2, up a pound!

Skipped out on water aerobics due to still feeling punky and it was pretty chilly too. I don?t foresee going for the next week or so unless we get a surprise warmup. I took a nap instead and still feel like I could go to bed for the night right now.

Dental appointment today and the news isn?t good. At a minimum I will have to have a root canal, might need 2, and the 3rd and most likely possibility is a root canal and an extraction with implant. I?m looking at thousands of dollars! Wish I had signed up for the premium dental plan during open enrollment but wasn?t having any problems then!

After the dentist we did a Costco run. The Costco in Fort Myers is always crazy busy (think pre Christmas crowds). $430 later, we are well stocked for our proteins! I cancelled our Hello Fresh subscription so will be needing to do more planning and ingredient shopping!

Hope you have having fun at Universal Liz! Great pic if Mike you posted!

I'm sorry, Paula, that sounds miserable and expensive!

Greetings all

Another sunny day. The drive to Scrabble was beautiful as the bay was sparkling ad calm. But Scrabble was not so pretty - I lost all my games though they were close. These people are just getting too good for me! So I continue to whine.

DD you are on the home stretch. Good on BFF for listening to your Dad. It is what he needs. And nice that there are pasties. Can;t say I have ever had a real one. Hoping all goes well so you can soon catch your breath.

So Liz, is there a quidditch ride? What a great way to get tired out! Enjoy.

Saw Ann's home remodel pictures today. Fabulous and so fitting. What a place!!

Agreed Paula. Don't go to water aerobics if it is cold. That is why I quit my pool walking. The treadmill is warmer. Also drier. And feels safer.

Peps have you stepped out of the house yet? Hope the pain continues to decline.

So I stopped in at the studio and did some glazing. Also have tax stuff to run to and from the accountant for the studio. W-2 stuff for staff. Reminds me that I need to think about that stuff soon. And yeah CC what is this post office crap about posting mail at such time as they feel like it. Not cool.

I got an Asian sub sandwich for lundh. Quite good but huge. Two meals. Makes me want to skip dinner entirely.

What is in an Asian sub? Sounds interesting!

Sorry Scrabble peeps conquered this time around!
