I love that you are able to do those virtual tours. Such a great advantage.
I am happy to be warm but also this is my home now which makes me happy being here. DH's home on the Cape is great but I will always feel like I am just visiting.

Medication with dementia is tough to wrap one's head around. Over-medicated may keep them non-combative and not scared. I never would have thought that but it was what happened with deceased DH. When he couldn't understand what was going on in the last stage he was frightened and lashed out (like a dog does when they don't feel safe). Sometimes medication is the only solution even though they may end up out of it. Such a sucky disease.

Yes! Screen AND glass sliders. So year-round no matter the weather.

124.8. Right where I should be!
I over did activity yesterday and paid for it with swelling and increased pain and awful fatigue! Doing better today!
More virtual home visits today and another day of them scheduled for tomorrow. I think we have 4 out of 10 on the yes list to see when we get to FL so far with a few ranking higher than the rest!
So glad you are back in FL Liz. The view from your lanai is beautiful and I loved the pic of your Justice walk on FB.
Congrats Peps on your dog show ranking! You looked great in the pics BTW! It is nice to see a man in a suit. Kind of rare these days! You seriously don't look like you have 200 lbs. on you. I would guess 170!
DD, you are having such a great vacation. So many hotels in such a short time would drive me nuts though I think.
Has anyone heard from CC? Or have her phone number to check in on her? I'm getting a little worried something is up!
I bet it feels great to be back in the Florida warmth, Liz! Me, I'm ready for autumn. It's been a little warm here - 80s to 90s. Not the nicest dog show weather for a breed that prefers the climes of northern England and Scotland! I have to admit though, that I like the idea of being able to wear shorts, and flip flops all year long!
Weight was back down to 202.9 this morning - a much preferable weight for my brain. It's nice that I don't have to do anything but stay the course for my weight to normalize these days.
Buster had a great dog show yesterday - Owner Handled Reserve Best in Show (basically #2 of all the owner handled dogs entered - meaning he beat several hundred dogs!)
Dad is being prescribed new meds. The ones he takes have not been doing the job. He's been more agitated and frustrated lately. The palliative care providers are concerned that his quality of life is diminishing. Umm... duh???? Yet, I understand the new meds could make his daily life less frustrating for him. I know the meds will help the memory care providers deal with him, but I also don't want Dad to be over medicated. It's a fine line. I think my visits will need to increase in the coming months. Lots to manage with Alzheimer's and dementia.
Super Sunday from the Sir Francis Drake Kennel Club!
119.2 - up 1.2 since yesterday morning. Could be the scale change but on the other hand I have already pooped 3 times since weighing. I had that skinny pasta last night which has super low calories but maybe a lot of fiber? I ate a lot of it. Oh and some of the popcorn left over from the girls trip... (I did dump the rest of it)
Lots to do today: set up new iPad, unpack, dust some surfaces, think about moving furniture around in preparation for the old sofa leaving and the new ones coming in this week. Oh yeah, and pay my federal tax estimate today.
But first a Justice walk while it is still in the low 70's. It is just getting light out here at 6:50 so I will wait a little bit.
Have a super sunny Sunday!

I packed somewhat badly for Bar Harbor so had to make up some odd combinations. I thought I would put dresses on in the evening but it was too cold. I only had thought about what to bring for the one hike so I had to wing it too. It worked out.
Lots of that packing/repacking stuff for you! I have vowed to keep that kind of travel to a minimum in the future (says I now with nothing like that currently planned).

Great to hea you made it to Florida with no issues Liz. Enjoy all it has to offer.
Paula, it is true you probably need more calories right now, but how annoying food noise is back so strongly. I am not getting a lot of bang for my buck with the Wegovy anymore, but as long as it is covered by my insurance, I will continue to use it.
Diane, I don't think your sweet peas look so sad. The real question is, do they have fragrance. That is what sweet peas are for.
It was about. 6.5 hour drive to Ithaca from Rockport, but most of it was quite scenic. We met up with our friends around 6pm, (we're staying at the same hotel) and went to dinner. They were pretty tired, as they left Minneapolis at 6am this morning. Tomorrow we are going on a morning hike, then to some wineries. My only problem is we are going straight to the wineries from the hike. I brought dresses for the wineries, not knowing this was the plan, and I didn't really bring much in the way of cute tops for warm weather. I'll deal though. This is part of how it goes when you travel with others, priorities are not always the same.
I've been on the road for 17 days, and this is the 7th hotel I've checked into! When we leave here Wednesday, we will stay 2 nights in the guest suite at my Aunt's retirement community, and then 3 nights at DD's apartment. Some of the time at her apartment will involve us helping her with the final touches of completing her move. She still does not have painting hung, and there are a few pieces that need to be moved to the basement storage. It's all been, and continues to be a big adventure!
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...
