    Good Morning BBB.
    Final 2 days of packing and organizing before we load up the truck. Slight panic but manageable.
    Weather predicted to be cold but clear for loading truck on Saturday and pulling out Sun/Mon.
    Bill - I hope your "repair" went smoothly and you are resting comfortably.
    Sam - fingers crossed for good test results and Cath procedure next Tuesday.
    Hoping all others are feeling better that have been down with colds, crud, and pneumonia.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Morning~

    You got this, Tom/Raine! Exciting!

    I survived the procedure - slept okay last night (groggy) - today much much more sore from incisions.
    Had to settle for Panera soup instead of Beef Noodles. #FWP
    Going to check a little email and climb back to bed.

    Thanks for the well-wishes, BBB

    Good morning
    Stupid busy yesterday. Got home a little after 6. Both families enjoyed the meal I made them. Did a quick change and threw on some makeup and went to a holiday party that ended at 7.
    Raine, how long have you lived in that house? Will this be a bittersweet moment when you pull out of the drive?
    Still have a cough. It’s sinus. Ugh.
    Tonight is another holiday party about 40 min north. Not sure if we’re going.
    I’m just glad the siren is fixed on the car!!
    I’ll cbl.

    Good morning.

    Final board meeting today - the "core" non-profit one that goes 4 hours. As a reward, we also have our annual gala thing tonight with an open bar and all the same board members in attendance; so I still have to behave. 🙄

    Glad the surgery went smoothly

    We haven't ordered the van yet. They still haven't released the 19 model. I hear they have been running a barrage of TV ads so hopefully soon. Amazon bought the first 20000.

    Still have a couple for more apartments to look at Saturday and Monday. We have one that will work but it is kinda boring. I texted the lady last night that we are interested but won't decide until next week The rest we're all too small or had terrible parking options. I know we are living in a van soon but we still ahve multiple bikes and tools that need a home.

    Kelly - we have lived here for 18 years. Yes, we will miss it but it's time for a warm change. We will still be working up here so we will be back to see people and that is a good thing. It's the people that matter.
    I know we will have to do more sorting once we decide how and where we want to live in Florida but that will be easy and fun. We do not have a plan except that we have a spot to park the RV and a storage facility, both climate controlled and regular.
    When is your next trip to Englewood?

    Morning BBB

    Great picture Skip! Behave so you can get sprung ! GWS

    So I watched #41's Whitehouse DC's funeral, it sure was heart warming,the level of patriotism and devotion to the USA shown, felt, even for those watching-not there, I know for me anyway it was. I teared up a couple times. 41 can be very proud of 43. And regardless on which side of the aisle you float, 45 needs to take note and learn something from his predecessors. I think most of this entire world, feels that way.... want to be treated like the President, then act like one. Nough said. RIP 41

    Good luck with apt hunt Steph. Wow Amazon sells everything! Who buys a vehicle like that on Amazon though?

    Tis the season, Im doing a little crafting, or trying to with photos, etc. so need to pick up some more supplies for that, then its onto a busy weekend.

    Raine, you got this! Next week at this time you'll be on the beach playing with Jack!

    My physical went great, blood work, blood pressure, etc. all great. Except of one thing. He forgot to mention my weight being way up? Discussed other things, but not that. And I was really secretly wishing for a bigazz chewing, and a plan etc. etc. WTH? Instead of bringing up myself, I grabbed my coat and booked. I know its up to me. I need to take control back.

    Lou, have fun tonite! We want a couple pictures please, of you and your hot date!

    Hugs BBB, have a good day everyone!

    Love the photo skip! Happy Days.
    •Ooof Mary. Gotcha. My ole Doc never "ragged" on me about my weight but was pleased when I showed up at a lighter weight post WW. Need to get more serious myself of late.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Enjoy the day laying around the house, Skip. Hope the post-op discomfort is short-lived.

    Have a great day, everyone.

    Good Morning,
    Tis TGIF Eve,
    Skip, you breaking out this morning?
    Kelly, sweaty Italian, just thought I'll mention for Skip
    Lou, I hate when I'm expected to behave; need to show off a little just so you are remembered
    Mary, good news on physical; I brought up weight to my doctor and he started asking questions about size of parents, family and drugs; generally lots of doctors not pushing weight like before. Look at new WW
    Steve, know Connie was great, had ask that you not send cold and rain this way.
    Raine, its mental, just keep saying its gonna be worth it!!!
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • DW says she is feeling better. Antibiotics must be working. There is a neighborhood Christmas party tomorrow night and there is a chance we might make it.
    • Skip, good to see your smiling face. Wishing you a quick recovery but don't over do it. I hope there is a SBUX in your hands soon.
    • Raine, you may have a lot of new neighbors. I saw on the news this morning that 12.4% of all mortgage requests made by out-of-state movers were for homes in Florida.
    • That's a dilemma Lou. Open bars and bosses were never a good match for me. I want that pic of you and Cecelia too. Enjoy.
    • Mary, I think those 20,000 vans are destined to be Amazon delivery vehicles. I shop at Amazon and love the convenience but they are becoming way too large and more than a little bit scary.
    • Wisely got my Dec. WW WI out of the way this week.
    • Have a great day BBB. Stay warm.

    I actually got sprung from Hospital last night and slept in my own bed.....

    Trying to not overdue it today - but DW did ensure I had a Grande SBUX about an hour ago - so all is well in the universe.

    Amazon is becoming scary, Dennis! I love Prime and the convenience. Though should I be concerned with the pop up reminders to reorder my facial scrub (how do they know I am nearly out)? Hmmmmm

    The same day service is awesome! Order this morning; at my door tonight.

    I think I got a package in mail from a BBB'r..... Anticipation is killing me!
