I'm having a deliciously slow morning! No specific plans today besides the usual tasks of living. One task I will get done is emptying outdoor terra cotta flower pots that need to be stored indoors. It's still sunny, and not too cold, but winter arrives this weekend with temps in the 30s and snow.
When we got to the hospital, my Dad had just left, but my brother arrived so we were able to tlak a bit. My Mom was really sleepy, which I took as a good sign that her aggitation was diminishing and she could actually sllep. Deer hunting starts this weekend. If she is still in the hospital, I will make sure to visit because everyone else will be up North at deer camp. If she's home, my SIL or my Dad will stay with her. Next weekend (the 14th) I will stay with her so my Dad can go with DH and DS. Back in the day my Mom used to come and stay with me during deer hunting weekends and we would go shopping and have brunch with DD. Feels like a long time ago.
BFF did move out yesterday ****il January). Ah, space. More room in the fridge and freezer and DH can have the downstairs bathroom for his own again.
Weight 118.4 (unchanged). We got home with Justice @ 8:45. So nice to be relaxing here with Justice next to me drinking good coffee. Dog walk up next.

No weight yet but I might get on the scale when we get home. We left Fort Lauderdale at 6 am and are picking up Justice at 8:30, so home shortly having not eaten or had coffee yet. But good to have the full day ahead and be able to have our usual morning back at home.
The fellow who fainted at that incredibly boring rules seminar was dehydrated. That has happened to him before. I guess he needs to drink a lot more water. But he did save the group from another hour of pain LOL.
Nice visit with DSS and DIL. We ended up eating at a sushi place - really good stuff.
Today after our usual morning we are picking up our neighbors at the airport then bocce in the late afternoon. These are the neighbors whose dog we had to arrange transportation for in the spring. They are taking a charter flight with the dog and the dialysis machine. Their car arrived on a carrier on Sunday.
Almost there to get Justice. Have a winning Wednesday!

Deceased DH who did a lot of real estate in his law practice really discouraged that stuff. He didn't think it was fair to the buyer.

Seems like you live in an idyllic spot except for those pesky fires and now rain. I guess there really isn't anywhere to live without some amount of risk.

That's tough that even when your Mom seems to be starting to see that she needs care, your Dad doesn't.
So sorry for your friend's upcoming loss. Such a sad time anticipating it. Yes, we should all remember that the future is never guaranteed.

Oh my Liz! That golf rules class sounded horrid! Hope the guy that fainted will be okay!
122.4 today. Back down a bit today and right in the middle of my desired range. Not as snack or hungry today. Sunday's shot must be peaking!
We had to leave with the dogs again tonight as our buyers wanted to meet with some painters and a carpet guy to get estimates. We hope there will be no more requests to get in the house before closing.
Weather very cool and gloomy. Soooo looking forward to warmer climes!
Fingers crossed for the waters to not flood too badly! Glad your home will be safe!
My early retirement was directly related to losing DH at such a young age and realizing that there no guarantees how long we have!
Im happy you can be there to support your friend that will soon enough be a widow. Such a difficult time!
Good for BFF for recognizing that you need your house back for a bit!
Greetings
The rain has arrived big time. It is not pouring but will likely be tonight. Started the day with Scrabble after a couple of weeks off. Won one, lost two. As usual lost to the Shark. Oh well. One person had to scurry off because he is an election worker. Glad he is doing that. After that I made a run to the gallery to pick up cash and take stuff. Apparently they lost power early on but all is fine. The tourists are pretty much gone so it is slow now. Also went to the post office and picked up a few grocery items. So I skipped the gym and studio today but must get back tomorrow.
Gee Liz, two hours on golf rules and then someone faints?? How can someone stand and talk about golf for that long. Seems like one should just stick to the main rules. Glad you left but sorry your friend fainted. Not good. Have a fun trip.
DD glad to hear your Mom is staying in the hospital a bit longer. Needs to be. Also glad you met up with buddies for fun. Sorry for the one having a tough time. Agreed: retire NOW.
With all the rain predicted tonight there will likely be flooding. Not on our street but along the highways and low spots. Studio is pretty low so we shall see. Around here one always sees egrets by the side of the road hunting in wet areas. Today I saw one that had a catch in its mouth! No clue if it was a fish or frog or what. Yummy.
I came home with a big sack of apples from Scrabble. Hopefully the house cleaner will take them tomorrow. It is so quaint around here how people share garden stuff. There is actually and organization for gardeners with excess stuff to give away.
