Greetings all
Overcast again. Spent the morning adulting trying to get insurance and tax info for the gallery. Tax place you leave a message and they will call you back in 3 or 4 hours. Well can't hang around for that. I think I have it mostly figured out and on the road to a solution. But boy did I have to waste a lot of time - on the phone twice to their tech support. Such baloney.
After all that I stopped at the store for a few things including some bananas to make the soft serve on the new machine. I was still cranky about all the morning's phone tag and tech issues and impulse purchased some Pepperidge farm cookies. By the time I got to the studio I had forgotten all about them., Duh!! Got a few new things made at the studio. The new glass space is all finished and looks great. The whiney crybaby glass members are gonna love it - or they should.
Meanwhile, got texts from DH that the garage door opener was kaput. He had it fixed but the whole thing likely needs to be replaced. It is all 30 years old so likely true. Another un fun expense
Liz glad you got the funeral dress figured out. Such items are things you end up not liking because of the cir****tances. Good that you could alter it and use it. Best wishes in your packing endeavors.
Paula great that you got a shower in. So glad you are not in pain. How long for compression?
DH birthday is tomorrow and I am going to a nearby bakery for a mini cake. Our football team plays so that is part of the plan.
Not much else.

Oh yeah - I remember that compression stuff. Feels good when you can get rid of it but very necessary now.

No weight for the foreseeable future. I'm really swollen but pain is well controlled! I'm moving around prey good for it only being 2 days post op.
I did take all the bandages and compression stuff off yesterday to take a shower and then put them back on!(well, DH did). So far incisions are looking good. I have a lot of swelling in my lady parts (sorry Peps) and am very bruised there too. Really the only place between my ribs and knees that is not compressed so I think all the extra fluid, blood is accumulating there.
Hello fresh this week is premade meals that DH can just heat up in the microwave. They are only okay. Nothing much else to report. Just gotta lay low!

Great dinner out with SIL and BIL (her brother) last night. DH and he seemed to get along well. He is a lot like my deceased DH in looks and intellect. I have thought at various times that both DHs would have liked each other.
The free Premier Protein is ALL chocolate and neither I nor SIL like that flavor. I was hoping it would be an assortment. They must have an excess of chocolate. SIL is going to donate them to the food pantry.
Today is our next to last full day at the house here before I leave for Florida. Likely a day of laundry and more packing. I am packing for our Bar Harbor trip as well as Florida. Hard to coordinate it all. I did determine my wake/funeral clothing yesterday. The dress I was afraid wouldn't fit was a little bit big but I was able to take it in so it fits now. It is the dress I bought for DH's funeral and I don't believe I have worn it since then.
Have a fantastical Friday!

Boob jiggling! That made me chuckle. Your Dad has a new friend to share his candies with!
I didn't realize there were so many dog shows. Is that year round or seasonal?

I read it to my DH who loved it because he would like it to be that way!

202.something today.
EARLY Dog show day today. Out of the house by 5:45 am. I was done with groups by 2:30 and was home before 4:00! Had time to rest, wash the dog, go shopping, visit dad and get dinner.
My dad was clearly on a "date" when I arrived. It was absolutely charming. He and a female inmate were sitting on a couch adjacent the aviary. They were giggling like 6 year olds. I sat down with them and gave my dad the Trader Joe's Peanut Butter cups he loves so much. He asked me to open one of the packages. He took them and offered a chocolate to the lady. The lady grabbed her boobs, jiggled them and laughed before she took a chocolate. My dad was rapt! A few minutes later after a bit of small talk I suggested that perhaps I would leave him to his company to which he happily replied, "Yes, that would be good! You should go now." I left grinning ear to ear. The attendant and I had a good chuckle on the way to the exit where she punched in the code to let me make my escape.
More dog showing tomorrow.
What gets me now is heat and spice. I used to love jalepenos and super spicy food. I don't any longer. Spicy foods and 'heat' burn my mouth and I find it unpleasant. I think as we age we become more sensitive to certain tastes and flavors.
A clean hoodie = formal wear! That made me guffaw aloud because I know just how close to the truth that is! Didn't DH buy the Ninja Creami? IF so, HE should make the first batch!
I find a lot of things too salty these days. I wonder if there is more in premade food than there used to be or I am more sensitive to it because I try not to use much salt when I cook or on my food?
Maybe if you make 1 thing with the Ninja and DH sees how easy it is then he will take over? Or will you have set a dangerous precedent???
