Whoa - I sure hope that there are no hidden terms with that deal! I had that happen once with one car when not expecting it. Of course when I had to buy one no such deal being offered...

Greetings all

Oops missed yesterday. Gallery duty. Not a bad day up there and quite a few visitors. I need to get busy and make more stuff.

Big sun today. Our team played early so we watched it delayed. They won by a ton so it was not much of a game. Studi buddy stopped by and she and DH discussed conspiracy theories. DH looks at a lot of stuff on tin tok and I hope he does not take it all too seriously. But he also likes to watch old Johnny carson monologues .

Skipped the gym and feel like I need to get on the laundry to do something useful. I made a trip to the pharmacy and grocery store. Decided I needed to meal plan so I got a small pot roast for the slow cooker. Good sunday food plus the dogs will eat if it we get sick of it.

Well Liz glad you are home safe and enjoying warmth. Bet Justice is too.

CC do we need to worry? Hope all is well.

Hey we got a letter from Nissan saying that if we buy our leased car at the end of the lease they will knock off 10K. We were going to buy it anyway. Good deal. Must see if there is a catch.

Paula glad you continue to heal. Yikes! No place to inject! Such an issue. I foresee some major clothes shopping.

Continue the relaxation DD. So nice.

Pic of sweet peas below. They are kind of sad.

5:45 pm - Justice and I have arrived, food shopping done, Justice dinner served and I am having a glass of wine before my dinner. 85, sunny, with a nice breeze when I arrived. Ahhhhh...

I also felt like some places were cleaner for a while (though it seems to be trailing off these days).

It didn't occur to be either that I wouldn't be able to inject in my normal spots. I promised DH that I would wait at least another week, maybe 2 to inject. I do know that my body needs the extra calories for healing right now.

We did the virtual home visits via Zoom. Worked pretty well. Probably the only good thing to come from Covid is we all learned how to communicate virtually!

118.2

I have been awake since 3:30 and up since 5. It is freezing here this morning (48) so I even turned the heat on. Looking forward to Florida warmth!

Yesterday I finished my packing and related errands by noon. DH and I went to Chatham Bars Inn (see photo below) for a drink, followed by a stop at a place in Wellfleet for some music in the afternoon, and capped off by dinner out at our favorite local restaurant. Lobster Fettuccine - ymmm. DH has another whole meal worth from my leftovers.

We leave here for the airport around 8:30. Since we were up so early there is a chance we can do a Justice walk first. I'm feeling a little nervous about juggling Justice and my bags alone today but I'm sure it will work out. The biggest challenge is bringing my iPad and kindle onto the plane so they are accessible. I need to stow them in Justice's bag somehow.

Tomorrow's post will be from warm Florida. Have a substantial Saturday!

It never occurred to me that your surgery would eliminate some injection sites for a while. Maybe DH can do your arm? Interesting too that the food noise has gotten so loud. Maybe partially because your body is calling for more as it is healing?

How do you do a virtual visit? Does the realtor just video it or is it a FaceTime-like walk around?

I love that you are enjoying retirement so much! I haven't been to that area in a long time. We will definitely have to do a day trip there but it sounds like waiting until off-season would be our best bet.

124.8. I'm eating everything in site. Food noise is horrible. I have eaten theater sized boxes of candy the last 2 days and DH and I are both hitting the ice cream. Funny thing is I have not eaten candy like that for well over a year! Thankfully I still can't overeat in the amount of food I consume in a given setting. I will need to start back on my shot soon. Problem is where to inject? Right now my belly and thighs are so tight that I wouldn't be able to get a fold of skin to use. Perhaps in the love handle area. I never did master injecting in the arm.

Today was busy with virtual house visits. We had two we liked and about 4 we said no to. We will do more virtual visits on Sunday and Monday. This will help us greatly in narrowing down actual visits once we get there!

Glad you and Justice get to return to Florida soon Liz!

DD, I'm so happy you are enjoying your slower paced vacation with DH and that retirement is going so well for you!

CC, we miss you!

Peps is busy with a dog show I think and I bet Diane is walking the treadmill, at the gallery or shopping the hippy dippy deli! We shall see when she checks in!
