Super cute!

Greetings all

Yet another sunny day but there are beach warnings. No need to warn me though I was tempted because there have been spectacular sunsets lately.

So I am lazing about air drying my hair and will hit the gym in a bit. They have been painting the stripes in the parking lot so limited spaces. First world problems indeed.

DH went out to lunch and brought home a cheeseburger so that is dinner. Makes my day when I don't have to come up with something though I did pick up a pot roast for tomorrow. I have gallery duty in the pm and expect it to be slow so it will be nice to come home to completed dinner. Tomorrow is also Tuba Christmas in the local shopping center which I guess I will miss.

Those nails look great Liz. Is that something one could do for a day or two and then remove? And DD yours also look great. Understated elegance in both cases.

Peps OMG on your SIL. She really needs to tell her doctors her meds. Why not? Hoping she feels better soon and gets good care.

Paula nice that you met people with a connection. I bet the clubhouse is a fun place to hang out and meet people.

CC we love your window cleaner. I wonder why there is not a version for high rise buildings? But uh oh, clean windows might result in bird strikes. Did you ever get the plastic owl for that? We finally have some little sparkly hangings to keep the swallows out of our porch cover.

WE had some discussions about Christmas today. Our host wants to keep it small and simple which is fine with me. His late wife always did it up HUGE - like 6 Christmas trees - but he just doesn't have the energy. We will all help. Also gifts will be bring one and draw one and not everyone for everybody. Works for me. What do you all do for gifts? I gotta think of a gift that could go to anybody and it may be a half case of local wine. Except one guy does not drink at all. I am grateful for something low key and festive. I found out my brother's plans fell through and he did nothing.

DH is continuing to exercise on his balance board. yay.

I agree with CC on Venmo - too easy to pick the wrong person. It's a great service but one has to be careful.

Thank you for the book suggestions! I am going to read a few of the ones which were available in my online library then pick one. And now I have a good reading list for me!

So glad your Mom made the right choice. Hospice does a good job of monitoring existing conditions and should be able to keep your Mom more comfortable.

Happy belated birthday to your DD!

202.1 - somewhat disappointing, but eh... life goes on and I can live with it. It's not like I'm being perfect, but it's not like I'm NOT trying to get down either... Sigh...

SIL ended up in the ER yesterday after a blood draw on Wednesday. Doctor's office called and said get to the ER NOW! Her sodium level was dangerously low. Turns out she has pancreatitis, most likely a complication from the tirzepatide she's been injecting - even after she was diagnosed as malnourished by her PCP! (Her PCP is unaware that she's on the tirzepatide.) In a way I was glad that it happened here, so my brother could stay here overnight and I could talk with my SIL about coming clean with the ER docs about the tirzepatide. She was PISSED that my brother told me she was taking it. All I could do was shake my head... Like I'm gonna judge?????

It's going to be a trimming day today - both dogs and human. I'll get a workout in, too, after my nutritional therapy session...

Sun has finally poked out. YAY! Too many days of gray sky make me a gloomy Gus!

Did anyone notice the Super Moon last night? It was breathtaking! The moon appeared roughly 14% larger last night on the horizon. There is another chance to see it tonight. I highly recommend taking a peek!

Back on track with my injections on Thursday at bedtime. However, once again, my vial was a few units short. It really irks me when I get shorted.

Wishing everyone a fantastically frivolous and festive Friday!
