I have had pretty good luck ordering pillows through Amazon.

i do miss beans. Many of my healthy meals like chili, hummus, and black bean salsa were full of the beans I can't eat now. In fact I used to make vegetarian chili. All the stuff I can't eat now!

I hope whatever ailment that has come to bedevil you today, leaves quickly!

Liz, glad your SIL seems to be doing better. I never would never have guessed an endo treats osteoporosis! Things you learn!

120.4, a very nice drop. Less snacking today so there is hope for tomorrow too!

3.5 mile walk with DH today after lunch and then we took another little one with the dogs. Nothing like a Justice walk! Very cloudy but warm enough as it was 80 today. I will go back to water aerobics tomorrow.

I got an herb planter for the pool area. Matches the "wicker " we have throughout the lanai even though it is plastic and unfortunately seems to be made fairly cheaply. Hope it will hold up to FL elements. I'll buy the plants after we get back from WI.

I was going to recommend Costco for the pillows but agree that this is a bad time of year to go there. Hope your cold doesn't turn into a full blown sickness. ''Tis the season I guess!

Greetings all

The rain is back though not heavy. Storm dates keep getting pushed back. Fine by me. So I woke up with a pretty bad sore throat. It started last night. Not sure if I am getting a cold but I am in full sickness mode. Sent DH to get zinc lozenges and such. So I am lazing about and may not go out at all. No fever. Someone had a cold at Scrabble but wore a mask but I still might have picked something up. Rats.

Liz it is good to hear your SIL has perked up. Nice. Hope she finds the doctor she needs. I did not realize there were endocrinologists that dealt with osteoporosis but makes sense. But beware if a vertebrae fusion is recommended.

CC I adore your cookies. Sounds like you got all the right equipment. And the egg white powder. I have heard that stuff is a good protein source though maybe not when part of a cookie topping. Roof done?

DD such a relief to hear your mom is content with the hospice. We can all "feel your pain" on the reports of her fussing. Peace on earth indeed.

I have concluded I need new pillows. No clue how old these are but it may be a source of allergens (and maybe even the sore throat cause). Unfortunately our Bed Bath and Beyond is gone and that was the best place around here for bed stuff. We no longer have a kmart here and there is no general merchandise store in our town. Guess I will have to order. There are probably some at Costco but I don't want to get within 10 miles of that place at this time of year.

So I thought my Apple watch was trying to electrocute me but I guess it is just the buzz that it uses to notify me. Still confounded by its many features but I will slowly work through them.

We watched more of House of Guiness last night. Pretty good. We also stared a new series called The Vince Staples Show. It is very odd. I think it might be a satire of racial stereotypes but not sure.

Ate chili for lunch. Boo Liz I feel for you on no beans. I guess some kinds of chili have no beans but I am glad to have them. enjoy the pot roast. I must find more slow cooker recipes.

Studio buddy just got a new iPhone and wants to come over here and have DH help set it up. Fine with me. It is like watching Abbott and Costello when DH tries to answer her questions. Neither one listens well. Of course I will have to have wine....
