Patriots Day in Massachusetts is the day of the Boston marathon. Everyone used to have it as a holiday years ago, but now only businesses along the marathon route give their employees the day off. But it is school vacation week up there.
I was shocked to read that the Pope died this morning. I saw that he was able to give his Easter address yesterday. Must have been his time. I am not catholic but my DHs and children are so the only church I have stepped foot in for the last 50 years is the Catholic Church. And we had such a close relationship with the priest at the parish near where we lived for 20 years that I somewhat felt catholic. RIP Pope Francis.
"Linner" yesterday at the beach club was disappointing food-wise. It was really just a somewhat revised regular lunch menu with some breakfast items added. Weird at 3:00. The view and service were beautiful of course but we just had a fairly regular lunch.
This morning I see a new dentist here. This is the 2nd health professional I have moved to in Florida (the first was Justice's vet). I was supposed to have my teeth cleaned at my former dentist at Christmas time but they cancelled the appointment and couldn't fit me in while I was there (not the first time they had done that). So it makes sense to do it here from now on. I am keeping my summer doctor appointment up north, but need to work in getting a new PCP here as well as a dermatologist.
This afternoon our painting/handyman is coming to look at my master bath. I hope he has ideas on how to smooth out the sandy paint and mural.
Have a popping Patriots Day!

The joys of homeownership: there is always something that needs to be attended to.
I hope you are able to put that former friend's actions behind you soon. Being a board member is definitely not easy (and not for the faint of heart).

Your husband's people managing skills are awesome! Folks like him keep our idiotic, pathetic species from destroying itself. These days we need so many more of his ilk. You're a lucky woman.

Your DH as always is such a gem. I hope your parents recognize that too.
So little time left at work for you - must make it a bit easier to go on Mondays right now.

Our new home is on a corner lot with a pretty big front yard that hasn't been fertilized in a while. We have ambitions. ;-)

You really do look incredible in your FB pics. Just tell that body dysmorphia to go away!
Retirement when you and your partner are both healthy is definitely amazing. Like having a long vacation that doesn't end.

Good idea, CC. I'll try that.

Do you have a lot of land at your new place? Somehow in my head I was thinking not, but maybe that is just because I know how extensive your property was previously and anything would be smaller.

Such a long drive but nice that you spent the day with family. Lemonade pie? Never heard of it.

Such a terrible response by the chef, Liz! Diane, I bet the pots will be easier this year with your concerted walking efforts! The sweet peas are calling... DianeO, I haven't played mahjong except online by myself, probably would be a lot of fun in a group. Ann, good luck finding a spreader. Hope you give NextDoor or your neighbors a try. Peps, woohoo for shorts and muscles! Paula, lemonade pie sounds good and I love black jelly beans. My grandma without fail had a crystal candy dish in her living room with black jelly beans and those sugared jelly orange slices. Yummy. And surprisingly good together as a kid stuffing one's mouth before Nonnie came back in the room. Not that my black teeth and tongue didn't give it away! DD, you are kind to give your Easter to your parents rather than doing what you wanted. If karma is real (and I like to think it is even if it's just paying peace into your soul), you are racking up the points!
Quiet day here. Beautiful and 69. Kirby and I sat outside a few times while he worked on his smoked Easter bone. His lion's mane chest fur gets so wet when he chews on things laying down! I am tempted to put it in pigtails out of the way. I meant to plant the last of my plants in the pots, but petered out oomph-wise. I did walk Kirby being careful to avoid walking in front of my neighbor's house. I can't call her a friend anymore. I did return a hammer she left here under cover of darkness last night leaving it on the wall by her driveway. I don't want to be the "vindictive" "bad friend" who also "steals tools"! After venting to my board friend, he said that we should get free counseling when we join the board given all the drama and upset. He's not wrong. Maybe we could get it paid for by the directors and officers insurance.
Can't say I've been eating well with all the upset either. I go very carb intensive when I feel like this. Blech. Makes me sleepy. And chubby despite the shots.
To add to the list of my homeowner to dos, one of the motorized blinds in the high window in the living room is acting up just as the sun has reached that side of the house in the late afternoon. I'm not sure who can fix that out here, but I'm cooking like an ant under a magnifying glass! It's always something.
Anyway, Hope everyone is good! Take care!
