Day 2 after the IPL (laser treatment). My face feels fine (it pretty much did by the end of the day of treatment). No redness or swelling but I have super dark raised spots where the dark spots under the skin used to be which is what is supposed to happen. They are supposed to slough off sometime in the next few days so by Friday my skin should look pretty good. There will still be some residual spots that don't seem to have been affected but I have 2 more treatments, each spaced a month apart so that should take care of them. I bought a large brimmed hat to wear outside at the beach and playing golf as I need to be as shielded from the sun as possible, so not just suntan lotion. Yesterday I suntan lotioned up, then put makeup on over that because the dark spots are really noticeable.

DH thinks we should have a "bucket list" of trips for the future. He suggested that we develop separate ones then combine them. I don't know easy that is going to be! Interesting comparing what I know is on our lists. Though we both like beachy places, he would travel much further to get to an exotic one than me. I don't see the point in traveling 24 hours vs. 13 if the main focus is the beach. The hardest part for me is prioritizing them. And a lot of our travel has just "happened" because an opportunity arose for a trip at a good price or with friends. So that kind of travel may still supplant our "list". But it is a good exercise anyway.

Today the bus leaves at 7:30 (as usual on Sunday), but that isn't a problem for me as I was up at 4:30 thinking it was 6:00. We apparently had a power outage last night and my clock started over at what must have been about 10:30.

We are scheduled to play golf with friends at 2:40 though there is the possibility of thunderstorms this afternoon so we shall see. DH and I did go practice at the range yesterday afternoon. Tonight we are going out to dinner with several friends at a brand new restaurant near us which everyone has been waiting to go to. We were lucky to be able to get a reservation. One couple is here from Omaha just for the week so we had a limited time span to fit an evening in. They will be back in late November for the winter season.

Time to get ready for the bus. Have a solid Sunday!

Watching someone else eat sounds like a unique form of torture to me.

For some reason though people say they want veggies they never seem to eat that stuff at parties. I end up having to figure out how to use it later.

Welcome home! Glad you had a wonderful time and got some pool time in, too!

Hi everyone! I haven't read the posts from the last few days, but I will go back and read them tonight. Just wanted to pop in and say hi! The two devices that I have OH password saved on didn't make the trip. Usually I have at least one of them with me, but I forgot to pack the Kindle. It felt weird not being up to date on all that is happening. Reading and posting here are now a part of me.

We had a great trip and the weather was nice, and I even got some pool time in, which since I'm the only one who likes to swim in the foursome, doesn't always happen. But folks are getting older, and resting in lounge chairs possibly seemed more appealing than before. : )

Everything in the house looks fine, so back to real life I guess!

122.5, up a smidge.

Spent the whole day packing up the majority of my kitchen. Man I have a lot of stuff. I highly doubt my new kitchen is going to hold it all! Yikes! Will need to continue tomorrow!

We have been watching a cute show called Nobody Wants This on Netflix. The second season just started so we are back to binge watching it!

Liz, I did fillers once. Never again! It was so painful! Not the injections themselves since they numb you up but I needed to massage the area several times per day and that was super painful! Hope you have a better experience.
