121.9, same as yesterday.

Rainy day today so the art fair exhibitors were given the choice to stick it out or bail without penalty! We packed up and bailed! I doubt they had many shoppers. I am a little disappointed that I didn't get rid of more stuff. I'll try FB marketplace. Sales were going quite good until the storms rolled yesterday. I guess our favorite Door County got hit very hard with winds yesterday too and there is a lot of damage and loss of power even yet today.

Your day yesterday sounded wonderful Liz! Lots of fun stuff to do and good friend to do it with! No mention of the Sunday bus leaving for breakfast. Did you break tradition today?

DD, so glad that your nephew will be moved into his new condo so you can get packing and have an uninterrupted party at your house!

Car is unpacked from the art fair and I went through everything that got wet and dried it off. Feeling nappy but it is already 3 pm so I think I will just relax and go to bed early tonight. The dogs had me up at 3:30 this morning! Grrrrrrr!

The colors for your bathroom sound very pretty. Welcome home! You've made a beautiful life in Florida, I can see why you want to spend the most time there.

Nephew is out picking up a coffee table from Facebook marketplace. His bed will be delivered to his condo on Tuesday, so he will be moving this week. Whew! He looks good, every day stronger and building a new life step by step. BFF will be here off and on until October 1. There is some disruption, but not as much, since she works fulltime. We've already talked that if she is staying indefinitely, she needs another living situation. She is also welcome to stay at our house while we're in Brazil. The kids will come to stay Monday night, and maybe Tuesday, but after that, they should be sleeping at their new house when their Dad has them. So I should have my office/closet back by this weekend. I feel a weight lifting.

Overcast again today, so I will read the paper and pick one cabinet/storage area to sort out. A couple years ago I kept a journal during the summer where I noted 3 things I did each day: something for good health, something to improve our home, and something for joy. I am going to implement this again.

Thanks for the review! I think I will skip it.

What a shame the storms came in so quickly that the exhibitors could not prepare. Crazy this time of year. No shows outdoors like that in Florida in the summer as that kind of storm happens so frequently.

Being introspective about this huge change in your life is to be expected. When was the last change this huge? When you got a full-time job? I think I felt a little scared that I wouldn't know what to do with myself when I retired. The feeling certainly wore off after I got used to my new lifestyle.

At least your Dad is not angry or scared. It's good that he is in a safe place and maybe it is good that his mind is doing some traveling?
