122.6. The gain is holding so far!
Plastic Surgery pre-op appointment went well and I did get to see the surgeon along with the PA. Thighs will have an incisions down to the knee (maybe just past the knee). Mons area will be addressed with the tummy tuck. He surprised me and said he was going to try and do a drainless surgery. Less pain but chance of too much fluid pooling. Hope it is the right decision.
More cleaning/organizing today. Tomorrow will include at least one truckload to the dump and then cleaning of the floors, one last dusting, and clearing of surfaces before the showing on Wednesday's. **** is getting real!
Tonight we are going to relax and watch a show or movie on tv. It?s been rush, rush, rush for days. More Hello Fresh delivered today. Will report on how they are as we use them. So far I?ve been pleased with the lesser calorie options we have tried! One if the meals is pretty much the Big Mac salad I have been making for myself when we have burgers.
Glad you got back North safely Liz. You really are a jet setter! DD will be too very soon!
CC and Diane, fresh corn on the cob! Sounds delish! I?m going to have to find a stand this weekend. I like to buy extra and freeze but with a potential move, we need to use what is in the freezer instead of stocking it!
Weather was cooler here today as well, I wore long pants and a jacket! Unlike CC and Diane, I?m not ready for cool days during the summer yet. It took so long for summer to even start here that I would be happy to have hot days until the end of October (won?t happen, but I can dream).
Greetings all
Big sunny day here. I have been out and about getting payroll, picking up new art, doing banking and taking stuff to the gallery. After that it was post office and a quick grocery stop. It amazes me how often I stop at the store but have nothing proper to eat. I got some deli chicken and sweet corn for dinner. CC you must have telepathed me the urge for sweet corn.
Jeepers Liz only a few hours with Justice and then you are off? You guys are jet setters.
For some unknown reason I feel especially tired and achey today. No clue why. Contemplating taking advil.
Yeah CC it only rains on delivery days. At least you have the new stuff. I too like a chilly summer day. Enjoy the home cooking. I so remember my days as a child and we would drive along by the fields out of town looking for a roadside farm stand. Nice.
EEeeww DH found some sort of dead rodent in the back yard that the dogs had likely tortured. The corpse was tossed over the fence into the greenbelt without ceremony.
Not much else. Slowly working through the trip list.

Rainy day here. There are a ton of little farms that sell produce here, so we headed to Lutz's Farm for corn today. They are mostly self-serve with an honesty box to collect money. After that a stop at the small local market for hamburger. Our new outdoor furniture for the front patio that faces the channel came after that (but first we had to move all the old stuff to the garage. A friend is going to take it). I said to the poor guy delivering it in the rain that of course the day he delivers is one of the only daytime rains in the last two months...
Speaking of which, I am wearing a sweatshirt today. Woo hoo! Love a cool rainy day. The high was supposed to be 78, but i don't think we'll get out of the 60s today.
Watching a good show on Amazon Prime that I somehow missed on PBS called Professor T. It's about a Cambridge criminology professor who helps solve crimes. I do love a British crime drama!
I'm happy to be eating in tonight. We've had 4 prior days of dinner engagements.
Anyway, that's all here. Take care all!
116.4 - quick weigh in at the house. Scale may be a bit lighter but probably not a lot as the change from here to Florida wasn't great. I think the drop was more from bathroom time yesterday.
We left at 7:30 to drive home from the airport hotel this morning.
Good day at the Beach Club with the girls yesterday. Very hot but pleasant in the shade by the ocean or floating around the pool. We had our only somewhat healthy meal in 4 days for lunch. We arrived back north just before 10:30 and I walked to the hotel where DH had gotten a room. Good move as he had an almost 3 hour drive there at night for some reason (should have been 2).
When we get home I have to shower and pack for the next 3 nights. We need to leave by noon to meet my SILs for lunch, then drive to Central Mass where we will stay one night and have dinner with DD and her DH. Tomorrow DH, DD, and I drive to Saratoga Springs for 2 nights. Whew!
Busy like that off and on for the next 4 weeks then I go back to Florida on 9/13 potentially as our year-round base.
Looking forward to seeing Justice for a couple of hours during our turnaround. He has been enjoying hanging out with Brandy, my DSD's bernadoodle. She was a bit much as a puppy but now at age 4 is very calm.
Have a marvelous Monday!

Making progress on trip packing!
My MIL had beautiful Havilind china which no one wanted when she died. We couldn't even sell it to an antiques dealer because they said no one wants that stuff anymore. There must have been 20 place settings and every serving piece one could ever imagine. I do wish someone in the family had taken it.

Quality time with your Mom is so important.

Another overcast day but no rain. I am slowly getting my trip act together by getting out the suitcase getting laundry done, making a start of a list and so forth. More pot pie for tonight. I was tempted to blow off the gym but made myself go. The more disciplined person that lives in my head won out as opposed to the lazy free spirit. But tomorrow is full of the Monday errands routine so I may skip tomorrow.
Beautiful sunrise Liz. Like Paula I rarely see them. Too many trees to the east plus I don't get up. Sounds like a nice days worth of events.
DD don't we all have someone's treasured china? I have my grandmothers Havalind which has not seen the light of day since we moved. I would love for someone to have it who would value it but no clue who that would be. So cool that you used yours. My niece has my mom's stuff and I doubt it gets used.
Must be national lunch with mom day Paula. Glad you had a good one.
We started watching The Pitt last night. Very much like the old ER show. Good drama but DH gags at the gross stuff they show.
Well the dogs have started lobbying. Must be that time of day.

122.6, up! DH should be happy!
On our way home from seeing my Mom. A lot of driving for a lunch out but it made her happy and so know our days together are limited.
Beautiful sunrise Liz! I rarely see one!
Your time with friends sounded awesome DD!
