Rats!!! When it rains, it pours? By 2030 I think you will have repaired something in every part of your house. The previous owners apparently weren't into maintenance as much as they should have been. You will restore your resort to it's intended glory!
HOME!!!!
Was wonderful to see my pack and be in my own digs! Buster and Grizz were so, so happy to be home, too!
Drove 778 miles yesterday. Two dog walking stops, a stop to check out the Bonneville Salt Flats, and two gas and food stops. Dropped the 5 Cairn Terriers off in Acampo, which was about a 45 minute detour. Arrived home at 11 PM. 16 hours on the road! I took a gummy before going to bed and slept well, but I feel a bit done in this morning!
Even with the water retention from 5 days of sitting in the car I braved the scale. 209 on the dot. I'm perfectly okay with that number. I'd been dancing between 204-206 for several weeks, so a minor jump up to 209 seems reasonable to me.
I need to take stock of the upcoming 2.5 months and create a schedule. I did call the PS to see if my surgery could be moved from Jan 7 to December 3. Fingers crossed.
I have to get ready to run off to a club luncheon... Perhaps more later when I'm a bit more coherent!

The trials of homeownership continue... I have a leak with 3 days of rain remaining in this storm. This stucco ledge on the roof deck has failed and is mushy, leaking into my bedroom and the cat patio underneath.
The roofers come Monday morning to give a repair estimate. Argh. I have it covered with tarps, the the design of this section is terrible as the connected roof section to the left drains to this stucco part. So even covered I have barely slept in two nights as the leak in my bedroom moves around requiring bucket roulette.
So not much else happening here and very little cognitive function with the lack of sleep! No rain for a few hours, so I'm going to nap if Kirby lets me. The little stinker is well rested and wants to play!
117.6 for the third day in a row.
I did yoga yesterday, then got my 3 shots. The RSV arm seems quite sore this morning. I am debating about going to water aerobics this morning.
Someone hit the taillight on the loaner car we had for Thursday to Friday while our car was serviced. It happened in the parking lot at our Club and no one left a note! On any other day someone probably would have seen it as it was parked close to the bag drop for golf but the golf courses were closed due to the rain so there weren't too many people around. Weird accident too in that the taillight is fairly high and it is the only part of the car that got damaged. Must have been the corner of a bumper on a high truck or a side mirror. A $1000 cost which we are responsible for. DH was in a mood about that yesterday.
We went to the Beach Club on our way back from getting the car and paying that bill and had dinner off of the Happy Hour menu. Because of the weather we were the only people there. We were out of the rain but still had a nice view of the water and I had some great mussels.
Today appears to be drier than the last week plus has been - only a 55% chance of showers vs 96-100%. But cloudy. The only currently planned activity is water aerobics if my arm allows for it. But first a Justice walk during which I shall assess arm functionality.
Have a sunny Saturday!

Nice that you get to do some celebrating this weekend in the midst of the house crisis. Hopefully you can put it out of your mind for a little while at least.
I think some snacking comes from habit (seems to be an easy habit to get into). I try to allow a mid-afternoon snack and my mind always seems to want it - the cauliflower hummus is my go-to for that.

Sounds like High Potential is a takeoff on Elspeth? We used to watch that but her character got to be a bit annoying at times.
Lack of light at either end of the day bothers me - I need maximum light. Though it gets light later in the morning in Florida than in Massachusetts at least we have an extra hour in total on the darkest days of winter. Right now when we go out to walk at 7:15 we are leaving before the sun comes up. In December, sunrise will move to around 8 am. Yuck!

The flowers are hanging in there. I have fresh bouquet of Zinnias on the coffee table. Ther are buds still on the Zinnia plants. I wonder if they will have time to open before the first frost?
Today's purging was a a bookshelf, and I found a journal I'd forgotten about. I wrote about our first vacation to Door County. : ). We must have had a great time, because I wrote that I told DH it was so perfect, we can never come back, because any other visit won't live up to this one. Plot twist, we have been back a couple of times, and every time is great! Glad you had a nice day, doing some of your favorite things.
122.8. I can tell the shot is kicking in a little bit. Didn't really want to eat lunch today but I'm still snacking too much!
House saga continues. It really is a full blown **** show right now! 10 more days to get under a no contingency contract! Showed the house to a divorced Dad today and hoping our buyers will let us out of our contract with them this coming week.
Yesterday we drove up to Door County for the afternoon/evening. Shopped a little, visited with our favorite B&B inn keepers for a bit, bought sal****er taffy and chocolate at the local confectionery and had dinner at our fav restaurant. All in all a pretty good day.
Today DSD and DS3 rode into town for the weekend. Will celebrate DH's 60th birthday tomorrow with family at Olive Garden and then have cake at home!
Busy weekend for you! Sounds fun though. Have fun Netflixing and chillin' with DH (wink, wink).
