Cilantro lime rice sounds yummy! I think we are going to that Mexican restaurant tonight since you inspired me.

The cost of homes in Florida usually does go down after the snowbirds leave as there are just so many fewer people. But the market in our area has changed a lot over the last 2+ years from being a sellers market to a buyers market. Lots more homes competing against each other. People who bought within the last 2-3 years and reselling are taking a loss. I know 2 couples in that situation and they may have to take a significant loss (about 10%) if they sell it now so they are thinking about renting their homes for a while (both already bought another home).

118.2 - official weight of the week.

The end of another work week for Peps and DD. One week closer to retirement!

DSD got home smoothly yesterday thank goodness. She had to work before she left, DH had golf, and I had to go to the dentist with the car so she took an Uber. Thank goodness the airport is so close.

I never made it to my golf association ****tail party last night. The anesthetic for my crown prep lasted from 2:30-7:30 and my mouth drooped until it wore off. I couldn't smile or even drink anything without a straw or a napkin under my mouth. I don't remember it ever lasting so long - he must have used a lot!

Today we have someone coming to clean the carpet in our bedroom and walk-in closet (the only rooms where we have wall-to-wall carpet). I have yoga, then I think we will probably go to the beach club for the afternoon. Looks like the weather will hold in this gorgeous spring pattern through tomorrow but then we start to get more humid with a threat of showers daily next week. That usually starts during April in south Florida so we were really lucky this year.

Have a fulfilling Friday!

PS: Just saw a news story that Eli Lilly sued HenryMeds and 3 other telehealth GLP-1 providers on 4/23. That's why HenryMeds stopped dispensing tirzepatide.

Yes, pamper yourself - you deserve it!

Napping is a good idea while still on drugs. I went on a bit of a shopping spree on-line while still high from round one of my plastic surgery. I told DH to take my credit cards away this time around!
