What a day yesterday was! Good thing after all that I did the furniture/rug moving the day before because my furniture came about 1.5 hours early. I just had time to change out of my bathing suit after water aerobics but not to shower.

So, the loveseat came up the elevator to our 3rd floor condo but the very large, very heavy sleep sofa wouldn't fit. The stairs consist of 4 sets of 8 stairs with a turn between each. It took the movers almost an hour to get it up and at one point they almost gave up. The guy wanted me to sign a waiver of liability to go further because he thought it was stuck. I looked at it and suggested that they angle it a different way which worked and they managed it the rest of the way with a lot of grunting (I wasn't going to sign a waiver but didn't need to in the end). They really should have had a third guy to help because it had to come up vertically so the guy at the bottom had all the weight. It was a "white glove" delivery so they literally puffed up all the cushions and smoothed down the slipcovers with white gloves on. It looked great but when they sent pictures to their supervisor they were told to steam the covers. The same thing happened when I got my chairs last year. But the supervisor kept not being satisfied though I thought they looked great. This process went on for an hour until I told them to tell the supervisor that I was happy with how they looked and I needed them to leave so I could shower and get to a meeting. 2 1/4 hours for 2 couches to be delivered!

Anyway, they are here and I really like them. I need to fine-tune the placement of the furniture, then move the pictures behind the couch but that is just me being finicky.

Nothing specific planned for today, though I may make a call about having my kitchen counters buffed up. Then I am done tweaking things around here (for now).

I wi**** was going to be a beach day, but I don't think so. But you never know here. The forecast is always just a guess in Florida,

Have a thunderous Thursday!

One advantage of chihuahuas is that they have small feet so if you catch them first you can clean them quickly. But they are also a little more fastidious than some dogs (at least mine have been) so they don't like getting muddy/dirty.

So sorry to hear about Blitz. Does he have a specific disease?

Yum! Scallops, one of my favs! Thanks for the good juju regarding house hunting!

Greetings all

Mixed day today but nice. I did my gym walk and managed to avoid the cameras there for a promotional video. There is a beautiful yoga studio there with an ocean view and I hardly ever see anyone in it. Maybe it is mostly morning classes since I am never there until mid afternoon. After that I did my usual studio stop and glazed and finished a few things. Life in the slow lane....

Yikes Peps so sorry Blitz is sick. I sure hope the dietary stuff gets it under control. Not fun. Does he want to eat? I assume you are doing rice and such. Poor baby.

Fingers crossed on house stuff Paula. I hope you get the one you like best. Glad you are healing quickly.

Hey Liz the place looks great! And I cannot believe you moved furniture, walked Justic and then went to aerobics. That is a lot.

Dinner out last night was good. I had scallops - something they have not offered before. Good food and great view. Pic in a bit.

So the dogs have managed to make footprints all over the clean floor. Thanks dogs. They have a big digging project going on under the shed and I am afraid to look.
