Blitz seems better, but I worry because he still has unformed bowel movements. It's no****er anymore though. The appointment is at 8:15. My plan was to be on the road by 6 am. I still haven't decided if I should delay departure or if I should let Ron do it. I'm leaning towards letting Ron take him.

I'm very curious about the tub painting. I think my tub needs to be reglazed. Is that a thing? At least I think it is.

It's foggy here this morning. Overcast through Wednesday, then there is a beautiful stretch of weather forecasted of high 70s and sunny. Not much color change yet, but the sun is setting much earlier than when I left. Saturday will be the last day the sun sets at 7pm until next spring. By the end of October, the sun will be setting around 5:30pm, and then when we fall back, it will be around 4:30 pm. Hello darkness, my old friend.

Big news, I did NOT gain any weight on this trip! Perhaps actually lost 1-2 pounds. I ate pretty freely, but I didn't do a lot of snacking. And I was pretty active most days. But I'll take it.

The next task today is to go buy some groceries. I'll go through the cupboards quickly to see what's still here. Most of what's in the fridge (very little) probably needs to be tossed at this point. It's reset time. I'm only going to get a few things when I shop though, because I feel like the nearby grocery store is more expensive than some other stores. I'd like to figure out a plan for buying more staples elsewhere. For example, their store brand can of black beans is $1.40, and at Aldi's it is $0.75. That can add up. Now I have the time to chase some bargains.

Paula I did not know they have Culver's in Florida. That's where we had dinner last night when we got home. Always the superior fast food choice if you need a quick meal. We drive past the original Culver's on our way to DS's home when visiting Midland/Madison.

I got home last night, and the texts from my parents have started up this morning. I will give them credit for not texting me a lot while I was away. Oh boy. Unsolvable problems. I will try to keep my zen.

Well off to get a few sundries and some more unpacking.

Any improvement for Blitz with the new diet? Will Ron go to the appointment if you can't make it or is it early enough to manage it with your trip schedule?

Perfect snack and I am craving beef barley soup LOL. Also, pot roast so maybe I do that first?

Greetings all

More sun today. Sort of energizing. I skipped the gym and went to the studio and did some glazing. There was actually a person in the glass studio for awhile. I picked up new stuff from the kiln and then went up to the gallery to deliver it and do some banking. The tourist season is winding down and our sales will taper off soon.

Liz we want to see your bathtub pictures and are eager to see how the painting works. Nice to have your home the way you want it.

And speaking of homes, sounds like you have some good options Paula. Not sure how the club stuff works but sounds good. I have never had a brand new house so that might be a fun adventure. Tee hee lunch at Culvers!

Good to hear from you Ocean Diane. We will hold you to your promise to post more. Your trio sounds fabulous. Must look at the Azores. Glad all is going well for you.

I just had a snack of a slice of ham and a slice of swiss cheese. A fine snack. Who needs bread.

DD welcome home. Enjoy some slow days. Christmas in NYC!! Shows??!! I am with you - way too soon for homecoming.

More beef barley soup tonight. The end of the pot roast is near.....
