If you are both accustomed to having your own vehicles, maybe consider holding off on selling them both until AFTER you are in Florida. When my parents moved when my dad retired, my mom was going to sell her car, but my dad suggested they wait for a year. Mom decided to keep her car after all. She liked her independence and not relying on my dad for rides. Just an idea...

124.1. Still up but probably not after today. I could eat breakfast but clear liquids after that. I'm hungry!!!!

I have to do pre surgical skin prep with hibiclens tonight and tomorrow morning. Hate that stuff!

I'll try and get to bed early since we need to leave home at about 5:15 am tomorrow morning get to the hospital.

DSD is coming with us to the hospital. Nice company for DH but I kind of would rather her not be all up on my stuff. Oh well!

Hope your car gets all the work it needs Liz!! Waiting for repairs is not fun so hopefully you can just leave the car and pick it up later!

Speaking of cars, we plan to sell DH's and only bring one to FL. We will have to see how that goes. We both like our independence to come and go as we please.

Surgery is on Wednesday. We need to be at the hospital by 6 am.

117.6

The summer did go fast didn't it? I can't believe it is September already. Much quieter here on Cape Cod which is good for getting around and having beach space but always feels a bit sad at the same time.

Yesterday I did sit on the beach and read for a while after I got some stuff into the wash and while DH was at golf. After lunch we went to the music venue where our friends met us, to a great dinner, and had a fire in the fire pit here. Somewhat late night for me since we have been getting up really early lately (4:30-5).

Today we slept until 5:30 which is better. After a Justice walk we have to drive 1/2 hour away to take my car for service. No idea how long that is going to take because no matter how much I tried I could not get a human on the phone and had to use their AI system to make the appointment. The AI couldn't understand that I wanted multiple things done and didn't give a time estimate anyway. So DH is coming with his car under the assumption that we are leaving it there.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Good that you had a hot tub day as that will be restricted for a while after your surgery. Is it scheduled for tomorrow?

123.9, still going up!

Mostly a lazy Labor Day. DH, DSD, DS2 and I went for a hike, I made lasagna for dinner and the kids and I went in the hot tub. Otherwise lots of couch time with phone surfing!

Even though I will have been off my GLP1 for about 2 1/2 weeks by surgery time, the pre-op instructions from the hospital said I needed to have nothing but clear liquids after breakfast tomorrow.

Good luck at scrabble tomorrow Diane! Enjoy the guestless time at home Liz, continue to make great memories with DD, DD! Hope you and Kirby had a great holiday CC. Peps, are you resting up from all your travel or on the road again?

Greetings all

Sunny today. I had enough errands that I had to make a list. I went to the studio to pick up newly finished stuff and work on a few things. I then delivered stuff to the gallery and did the post office. I had to stop and get some liver sausage so I can get the monthly pills down the dogs. DH has strict instructions to not feed them stuff all day so they will eat. Fussy dogs. The ocean and bay up by the gallery were sparkling and beautiful and we had a great month last month.

The art museum was cool. It is just big enough for me and not one of those giant mega museums that wears you out. Three different art shows and all were good. Then lunch at a bar. Studio buddy might actually finish the house this year or enough to make it livable. I have given up trying to figure it out - she just marches to her own drummer and it is not very fast and stops often.

Started the series Hostage last night. Pretty good. Scrabble tomorrow where I am sure I will get killed. Then it is off to Costco to get the Ninja Creami. I feel like I need to pack provisions for a trek into that place but I am probably over reacting. Just need to be armed with a list.

Yay DD you are living the good life Scottish style! Charming inns, massages and cheese! Enjoy.

You hoo CC how soon until you go south? Summer seems short this year.

Liz glad the place has cleared out a bit.

Big salute to all the workers of the world! Yay.

Diane S.
