Good evening everyone! Getting caught up on reading. Good news about food plans working, enjoying pain killers, and it seems like most are over the crud, and Diane's rumba did not spread dog poop, just doggie treats.
The weather at home is punishingly cold. One of the many reasons I'm so happy to be here. But I wish everyone else didn't have to suffer.
Just spent a few minutes with DH trying to get logged into our Netflix account now that we are back in our apartment. Computer words and Netflix words are not part of my vocabulary, since they didn't have computers when I was learning to speak Portuguese in 1980, but I'm proud to say I figured it out.
Sad news from home, my Mom's cat died. He was very old, so I shouldn't be too surprised. Everything she saw him, DD asked him, please don't die before Grandma. He held up his end of the bargain. Good kitty. Even though he the most bonded with my Mom, he was still company for my Dad. I hope this doesn't add greatly to his loneliness.
We had two wonderful days in the Serra in the wine country. Lots of pictures on Facebook. I'm actually hoping tomorrow is a little quieter. DH and I would like to go to coffee tomorrow and maybe hang out at the pool. Hopefully not crowded because it is the weekend. A lot of people are away on summer holidays.
The weather is wonderful, but a bit strange for January here as it is only in the mid 80s. We are again with the windows open. Not complaining at all. The sun is very warm and the heat is coming tomorrow and Sunday.
Greetings all
More sun today. I spent quite a bit of time at the studio catching up on stuff. Lots of people there and studio buddy came by for awhile. I stopped by the hippie dippie grocery for a few things and dinner.
So CC we will be interested in your review of the new gadget for measurement. Sounds like a good idea in theory. Hope it actually works. And geez what a load of tumbleweeds! Hope your family stays warm in MI. The reports of the upcoming storm and chill are scary.
Peps it may well be that your Dad does better in the morning but still the communication issues are disturbing. My mother spoke less and less as time passed. But Yay you for staying in onderland. New normal. CC may well be right on the work out cycle.
Enjoy the beach resort Liz. Sounds good to me - 3 days of staying put on a beach. Hope you got some good stuff with the credits.
I am loving DD's Brazil reports. Looks like a wonderful time.
The big bear eagles have an egg! Finally!

Another beautiful day here! Good water aerobics class this morning and then sunning by the pool!
Left over grilled fish and veggies and some yellow rice for dinner. Super easy, just had to zap in the microwave.
Art fair attending in Sarasota tomorrow. I think we will hit up a Mexican restaurant that we really enjoyed 2 years ago when we spent the month of January in Sarasota. They have wonderful table side guacamole!
Two more nice days here before another cold snap comes later on Monday. Booooooo! The cold snap, not the nice days!

For sure time of day makes a difference in cognition

Yay for staying under 200! I think CCs comment on less inflammation from muscle repair could very well be what is going on!

I believe time of day also makes a difference. I find that if I visit in the morning he is more coherent. My brother thinks this is true, too. I wonder if this is our wishful thinking, or if there is some truth to that?
We couldn't apply our credit toward gratuities but we had prepaid them anyway.
Sorry about your Dad. That happened gradually for me with deceased DH because I was with him all the time but I know it was harder for the kids because they could see the decline more clearly even from week to week at points.

Yay on staying under 200!! I wonder if giving your muscles a break from training means some of that inflammation from the constant repair is giving you a boost? I know you're probably anxious to get back to working out, but maybe this is your "true" weight without the repair/inflammation response?
