Greetings all

It is cloudy and windy today and there are the usual beach warnings. I suspect the rain will begin soon and it is supposed to be a lot. So I went to the gym and did my walk and then the studio for glazing. The place is now so popular that there is barely any place to park. Across the street is a no parking zone but one of our board members is on the city council so maybe we can get it changed. I think it is no parking because they don't want people in vans parking over night.

Liz my feet hurt for you! I suggest Claritin which I take every day for allergies (dust and pollen I think) as it is non drowsy. I was googling nickel allergy and saw that there is a Reddit group for people with the allergy that you might check out. They said avocados and some grains are also bad. Who knew? Anyway, we hope you get some relief. And go for the lift. Why not?

CC dining out is always an issue for all of us. Restaurants = too much food. Good that the weather is nice and you can be outside as much as you choose.

Hello Ocean Diane!! Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear that Sadie is ailing. The steps that CC suggested look good. We never could get our old dogs to use a ramp either but they were not too hard to lift. Any paddling? Enjoy your trip to pac northwest.

Peps glad the teaching day was good in spite of technical issues. Tee hee that the woman did not recognize you!! Hope the RV sells soon. To sell a house you are supposed to bury the St. Anthony statue but I am not sure if there is a patron saint of RV sales.

Lordy do I need a new hair do. My hair has become what they used to call "fly away" and sticks out all over the place. This never was an issue for the younger me. First world problems.

Good for you for keeping up the walking! Proud of you!

We dine out a lot and I can never eat a full meal so either I split one with DH or bring leftovers home (if it is that kind of food). I even leave food on the plate which used to be a big no-no for me.

Yeah, lots of stuff in the "good for you" list is high in nickel. And it isn't always predictable because it depends on how much nickel is in the soil where the food is grown. Sigh...

Time for a new spring haircut!

118.6. Holding pretty steady but Milk Duds were consumed today, so we will see!

I've been consistent with water aerobics which is one reason I think my weight has been steady! I really enjoy it!

Signed my vendor contract today and got all my questions answered. We will start setting up this coming week with an official opening date of March 1st.

Liz, your blisters sound miserable! I'm so sorry you are going through this!

Yahoo on the contract! I'm glad you are enjoying water aerobics. I was hoping to start back tomorrow after all our travel and the cyst removal but it will probably be too cold.
