I agree with DD - time talking to friends is always worthwhile.

Since I retired that extra hour of light doesn't seem as precious. I've gotten so I prefer light in the morning more.

Catching up with friends is a very worthwhile use of time!

Happy Sunday! Another glorious, clear blue sky day! I may even wear shorts today. I'll have to wear a sweatshirt, or hoodie, but my legs can handle the cool weather. The upper body, no so much!

210.7 - hmmm one day without a workout and I drop practically 2 pounds. Hoping to start the work week back in the 209 range.

I didn't do too much yesterday. I did get Bug completely groomed. She is starting to look like a big girl, but she's still very much a puppy.

I am not a fan of the time change either. I attribute my growing dislike of the time change to my age. It takes me longer to adjust now than it used to. I used to have no issues with the change either way. Now I seem to be aware that something is off and it takes me a few days to get in the new groove. Example: it's 11:30 and I am "forcing" myself to eat something before it gets too late in the day.

I will soon have to decide what chore I should do to occupy my day. I've wasted a good 3 hours doing nothing, but catching up with friends. My guilt says I should be productive, but my leisure brain says, "Enjoy!"

Oh yes, this spring forward is a pain, but I do love it in the summer when the sun is up around 5am and setting around 9:30pm. It will be dark again in the morning when I'm driving to work, but we are gaining daylight so fast now it won't be long until sunrise is around 6:30am. What I don't understand is why this one hour spring forward hits so hard. I go back and forth to Eastern Time frequently a d I don't need a week to adjust.

I love cruising through the China donated at St. Vinny's. I would buy it all, but have to restrain myself. I occasionally pick up a serving piece that compliments my own pattern. I use different silver pieces I've found in my bathroom to hold q-tips and cotton balls.

No big plans today either: read my papers, laundry maybe make some soup.

Sunny and 50 today, and tomorrow even warmer. Dreams of spring begin.

121.1 - up probably because we had steak again last night. I don't really enjoy having it that often (every few weeks would be fine for me), but DD loves it so that is what DH planned on and cooked.

DH was really good at keeping DD's visit a secret. We actually did have something scheduled today which we would have had to cancel last minute but luckily the event was actually cancelled. Today we are going to the beach, playing bocce, then out to dinner at the beach club. DD and SIL leave around 9 tomorrow morning.

But first the bus leaves for breakfast at 7:30. Have I mentioned that I hate the time change? It is 7:20 right now and not fully light yet.

Have a sunny Sunday!

Thank you for that info. She is at 73. Apparently it was also low the last time she had a CBC but her doctor didn't follow up on it.

Ok, me again. I have been out and about and got dog food, did my walking at the gym and went to the studio. Finished uo a few things. But before I went out I started lentil soup in our new slow cooker. The old one had a broken handle and tried to scald you every time you opened it. So we shall see how this new one works. Just vegetables and lentils. Maybe toss in a can of tomatoes in a bit.

Sounds like all are having a good Saturday. DD your "rounds" sound pleasant. Any good bargains?

Peps any weight uptick for you is muscle!! You have been a gym rat all week!

Paula more people need to take character building classes. A good thing.

Well I got some of my list done today. But the day is not over.
