    @polskagirl01 Haha about the AC. I'm glad it was okay the second night. I'm glad you have support for your family drama while you are here. That can make a huge difference. I also understand the mixed feelings about your grandfather too. When my husband passed away, my hospice chaplain told me that more often than not men will marry again within the first year of their spouse passing away. I think they just need the companionship and some, honestly, need the "maid" service. LOL Money being involved can complicate things. I hope it all works out, and, like you, if he's happy, that is what matters the most.
    I hope the nicotine patch helps and you feel more energetic after you have stopped using it. Yeah for the surprise swimsuit. LOL I hope your remaining squash do well, even though you won't be there to enjoy them. Do you have a garden in PA?

    Great run yesterday @Laurz9191 . The only run you regret is the one you don't do!

    @Mari33a Glad the new shoes seem to be working out for you! I need to order some new ones soon.

    @kgirlhart You are doing great getting your runs in early. That is a horrible heat wave! The squirrel is so cute.

    Great running @Teresa502 ! We got a storm soon after I got up this morning.

    @chris_in_cal I'm not joking after 9 days I still have traces of browny/yellow bruise marks on my legs and left arm :D. I said to the lady when she had done "I think you broke me"
    That sound exciting, 🤕
    I may have to book an appointment next time I visit Ireland

    Great job on your 5K @tarun_yadavA, and the following 8 miles the next day. Enjoy all the American decadence ;)

    She probably took that as a compliment 😆

    @quilteryoyo no garden here... chickens would probably destroy one anyway 😆

    Great run @tarun_yadavA . I'm glad you have a scenic place to run. Enjoy your day.

    Nice running in those conditions @kgirlhart ! Glad you have found at least one sprinkler during your runs. Getting cooled off for a minute I'm sure feels wonderful and energizing. But, I would probably just want to stop and stand there for a while.

    @polskagirl01 Chickens just do what chickens do and don't care about what they are destroying. That is why we had to get rid of ours when I was growing up....that and the fact that the rooster loved to chase me every time I went outside! :lol:

    Nice use of the TM @Scott6255 . I hope it is cooler on Sat and you can get out for run.

    @SummerSkier Not cooling off at night is the worst. You are doing great.

    You are doing great with your runs while on vacation - and eating and drinking more than normal @tarun_yadavA !

    Very cool that you got to swim with manatees @quilteryoyo! Looks like you and Tippy had a good time :)

    @quilteryoyo LOVE LOVE LOVE all the photos. Welcome home and hope recovery from the trip is quick. I bet your Mom missed you a ton tho and I bet that grass did not stop growing either.

    Thanks @Scott6255 . It was cool to swim with the manatees.

    Thanks @SummerSkier ! You are right. The grass didn't stop growing. Too bad we can't put those things on pause when we're on vacation. :lol:

    Thanks @kgirlhart . You did great on your run today. I'm with you about getting out for just one mile, but I'll do it when time is short and that's all I can do. Jackrabbits are cool. We just have the little cotton tailed ones here.

    @chris_in_cal I am just a part time streaker. Run the Year has several Streaker challenges where you run or walk at least one mile every day for a month. The streak months are March, May, July, September and November.
