Oh, and I finally get to visit with DD later today. Covid restrictions before surgery prevented visitors from outside our house. I can't wait to see her in person again!

busymom hope you are doing well. There will be considerations made for you for brunch tomorrow. It's been a day, peeps. Pool was closed, so I went running. DH and I ran some errands, came home for lunch and I did laundry and made some lemonade and cleaned up the spare room. I also prepped some marinated chicken to bake for dinner.

Hi Kids! Happy Saturday! The sun is out, but I'm going to be hanging out indoors for the next few days. I slept in this morning, as much as I could, with an ice pack against my incision... Take care of you. ❤ That's why you did all that extra work before your surgery.

I did a bike ride this morning and then made French toast. Headed out to get pet food early, since rain is predicted later, and a glance at the radar shows nothing now, yesterday's monster thunderstorms blew up out of nowhere.
I have one load of laundry left for later on, which will include sheets and towels. Some cleaning and packing, but not big stuff for the most part.

Thanks for serving brunch, NancysSummerSip! My surgeon said I could try & exercise a bit yesterday, but unfortunately it was too much for me, so I'm taking it easy today. In fact, I'm going to take a nap...

I finally had a moment to check in. busymom it sounds like your surgery was successful, hope you have a speedy recovery. My house went on the market on Friday. Thursday was picture day for the house. All the days leading up to that were a frantic race to get the house looking beautiful and to make it look like no on really lived there.
After pictures Mom and I left for the annual fall girls weekend at the cabin on the river. I was so tired I was having troubles driving, but we made it there in one piece. I took a nap after we got in and then went to bed early. It was nice to have a weekend of relaxation. It doesn't sound like my house got the number of showings we had hoped for, and there aren't any offers yet. Poor kitty spent the weekend at my Mom's in the laundry room and from what my sister and I saw most of the time was spent behind the washer and dryer. Now she is glued to my side. I'm trying to go through and shred a bunch of old papers and have a cat that just keeps head butting me, pay attention to me Mom, you left me at that horrid place for years and years.

I do feel better after taking a nap, but don't think I'll be bouncing back quite as quickly as I'd hoped. Sharon, did you find a house yet? Or, does your DD have a spare bedroom you can use until you find the perfect house?

Or, does your DD have a spare bedroom you can use until you find the perfect house? I have an accepted offer on a house but it is contingent on my selling my current home. During that time if someone comes in with their house already sold, or cash, they can bump my offer. They have to give me one days notice, but I could lose the house. They would refund my earnest money if that does happen. Living with DD probably wouldn't work. I stay in my travel trailer when I am over there so I have my own bedroom, bathroom etc. What I need is good internet, preferably one where I can be directly connected into the modem. DD has satellite internet because of being in a rural area and she says it gets flaky when it gets windy. Her Wi-Fi doesn't extend to my travel trailer so I would have to work in her home and that wouldn't work for more than 1 or 2 days max because of it being a small house with small children.

Good Afternoon Kids! My incision area is getting a bit scary looking, between the adhesive on the incision, and all of the bruising that is migrating. Almost looks like I'd been in a fight. It's a Monday here. Banks closed, no mail service, etc. I'm attempting to get something done.

I got a full price offer on my home last night. There is another showing today and the realtor wants to wait until after that showing before accepting the offer. The guy gave me everything I asked for so it seems in poor taste to me to wait to see if I can get something more, but I guess that is how buying and selling of homes is done these days. ETA: I got super powers yesterday afternoon. My Covid booster shot in my left arm and my flu shot in my right arm. I'm not having any reaction to either one.

It's a Monday here. Banks closed, no mail service, etc. I'm attempting to get something done. Shouldn't you be resting still? Probably. But, laying around too much, and watching things pile up around the house, because DH just doesn't see it, drives me crazy. Besides, I'm trying NOT to regain the weight I've worked so hard to lose. As of this morning, I'm down 25 pounds, but my best has been 26 pounds. I did a bit of walking yesterday, but I think it's still going to be a few days before I'm back up to 10,000 steps a day. I've gotta at least try...

Congrats on selling your house, Sharon! Here's to getting your dream house closer to your DD! (BTW, it's cloudy & kind of gloomy here today. When I let the dog outside, the air definitely feels like Fall.)

busymom I will say I am still not up to 10,000 steps. I think part of this is because I am doing home PT. I have been able to maintain weight.

I totally get it, ners. I'm pushing myself to hit 6,000 steps right now, when before surgery I was rolling in at 10,000 every day. At least I'm not putting weight back on, but I'm just annoyed that my energy isn't back (yet). I did take DS with me when I had to go get some more dog food for Speedy, just in case they were out of smaller bags, and sure enough, I needed DS to get it into the car for me.

It takes a long time to get your energy level back after surgery. Do what you can when you can and the rest can wait. I'm off to do my new favorite activity, packing boxes for moving. It would be nice to just be able to twitch my nose and have it all done.

busymom I am aiming for 6400 steps per day this week. Between work and doing home PT exercises I just cannot find energy or time to do more.

Happy Friday Muffins!!!
Busy I am glad your surgery went well. You have to give yourself time to heal properly. I have found everything takes longer to heal as I get older.
Congrats on the home sale Sharon!
We are finally having fall like weather and it is wonderful! 50s and 60s is where I like it!
Have an Awesome Weekend!!!

Good Morning Kids! Love your meme, Icelandic Woman, as one of those dogs could be related to Speedy. The sun is out, but it's only in the 50's here. I need to go out shopping, as my bottle of Tylenol is almost empty, and I don't want to run out in case I need it.

One of my round trips to new home city is completed. The van is loaded up and I will head over there again tomorrow and then home Monday after the inspection is done. I am so tired. This afternoon was a lot of dirty work in the garage getting things out of the rafters and tearing down shelving. I was so dirty I'm surprised I didn't clog the drain in the shower with mud.

That's a LOT of work! But it's going to make things so much easier, moving into your new house. Of course, that that won't unclog your drain, should you ever need it! 😉 Well done!

I slept 9 hours last night and feel much better this morning. This morning I will take the time for a few household chores here and then hit the road again.

Good Morning Kids! It's sunny & cool here this morning, and our Fall colors are supposedly at peak. I'm looking forward to when the oak trees turn color.
This morning I'm waiting for a callback from my surgeon's office, to find out what's next...

I got home for the final time around 9:30 last night. The inspection went okay. There was a time period there for a bit yesterday where I was going to walk away from the whole thing. I think I have a game plan in place now.
My realtor in new home city is worthless. I wish I had gotten rid of her a long time ago. She showed up yesterday at the inspection long enough to open the door and then leave. She neglected to tell me that I would be expected to pay the inspector $300 that day at the end of the inspection and that he doesn't take credit cards. Fortunately he did take a paper check.
Also this weekend my uncle passed away from Covid. He was fully vaccinated but had been a heavy smoker for decades. That means that my cousins have lost both of their parents within a 6 month time frame.

I had a totally worthless realtor when I moved here. If it hadn't been for my mortgage broker and the seller's realtor, this house still wouldn't be closed.
I'm sorry about your uncle.
