Monday - back to work again. Trying to figure out where I left off!
Wounds still under wraps. I've got 7 stitches in total and didn't want to catch on things or scare anyone.
Walked today, and climbed 5 flights of 20 stairs/flight.
In the evening, walked Rhody, ordered groceries, and dealt with emails.
Unfortunately, I'm sleeping a bit restlessly these days. I have a biopsy on either side and one on my nose, so I can't sleep in my favourite position ... on my side, but rolled over almost on my stomach. I'm having to sleep mostly on my back!!
AND I can't wear my sleep masks. My poor eyes are gravelly each morning.
Hopefully after I get the stitches out, I'll be able to wear one of my softer sleep masks. And will be able to turn onto my sides.

Good morning ladies!
Machka hope your stitches heal fast and you can sleep better!
Barbara glad you made it home okay! I am a weather wimp.
Katla hope you have lots of quality time with DH. The bus is tomorrow right? It will be an adventure. Do you have a backup plan, like a phone to call a taxi, if things go wrong?
Time to get serious about my calories today. I need to toss the leftover pretzels. I had cake, that's enough. And get back to my video workouts.

I am looking forward to visit from a good friend today. We taught together for several years. She moved to New York quite awhile ago, but is visiting her son in Illinois. I am very happy to see her today. 😊 ❤️ ⭐️3

No more weather adventures except for a brief power outage yesterday afternoon. It is drizzling this morning so Bessie will need her coat for the after breakfast walk.
Katla,enjoy your time with your friend

Machka- if you use the bluetooth and listen to music or nature sounds yes.. its better as a eye mask and bluetooth headphones..
The guy from the garage dropped me off at Tracys..Miles didn't get the memo on daylight savings time so he was up at 4 am
So as soon as mom left I read him a book and without a whimper passed out cold..
He is 10 months old today and we are here with the front door open cant even believe it..3 -

I actually have the musicozy mask Machka! LOVE IT! Don't use it all the time. Mostly for travel, but it works GREAT for keeping "others" away from me and I love that it has just a little nose cushion to add darkness in that space where it curves. So it doesn't pinch your nose, but there's no light peeking in. And it synced really easy with my phone.
Barbara, glad you're home safe.
Grateful for...

Ooouuufff! Knackered!
Walked our legs off in Barcelona. Four hours actually walking. I wanted to see the Gaudi house called Casa Mila, or the 'Pedrera', as it was closed last time I visited. Long walk from the Colon statue. We went via the Ramblas, the cathedral, and some main smart streets in the Eixample, from the 19th century.
This is it.
The rooftop is the most famous bit.
You can see the Sagrada Familia in the distance.
I loved some of the other architecture.
Soooo much walking!
Got the shuttle bus back and we both dozed off. DH now making tea.
Wonderful, warm, sunny weather.
Tonight is Flamenco, and tomorrow we are going to be in France, in the port of Sète. Hoping for a seafood lunch after a quick coach tour of the lagoon. Must wash my hair again.
Love to all. Glad Barbara is safe from the storm.
Heather, about to leave Barcelona xxxxxx

Barbara We have two vehicles but one is in Minnesota. We didn't want to buy a third. We left it in Minnesota because we need two vehicles there. I can't see driving two vehicles back and forth from Arizona to Minnesota. I had to get up at 6:30 this morning to leave by 6:45 to drop my husband off at work. I hated that! I usually don't get up until 8:00 or 8:30. I took an hour to do that. Right now I feel like I never want to do that again!! I think the best idea would be that if my husband really wants to work some of his retired life that he should do it in Minnesota then because we definitely need two vehicles there. He'll just have to find other ways to keep himself busy next year in Arizona. Or he can find a new wife 😜

HEATHER ~ What wonderful sights you are seeing! That rooftop is scary!
MARY ~ I am sorry about your car situation. Could y'all possibly lease a car for the time you are in Arizona or rent one?

Did my yoga and marching videos. Yay! First time in awhile. It was more of a challenge than it used to be.
And I tossed the open pretzels from the party. I need to toss the iced tea and ginger ale too. I need to be very very good so I can eat lots at Thanksgiving.

Heather-I am really enjoying the photos. It is making me want to take a trip to Europe soon.
I also love Europe's pedestrian only zones. I think they should have more of those in the U.S., especially since so many cities are revitalizing their downtown areas to be more people-friendly. Cars really don't need to be in those areas.
We are off on another journey soon, but I am not sure how much internet access we will have. We are branching out into more remote areas of the world these days.
Katla-I hope you enjoy your time with your friend and get to see your husband soon.
Machka-I hope you are mended soon and get some sleep! I have a Musicozy headband that is very light weight with the bluetooth headphones in it. I have put on white noise and it worked very well for blocking out noises. I think I'll get the most use on overnight flights.
Annie-Way to go, tossing out the food. I do the same, but it hurts to waste it sometimes.
SueBDew in TX-Just reading the first paragraph of your last post made me exhausted. I think I need more recovery time from my last trip to visit family.
Barbara-So glad you made it home safely! I think I'd just stay in till it passed.
We are also off to Phoenix soon to see a concert and meet with my family members. I'm trying to think of food I can make that will feed a lot of people, but is easy to make and transport in a car. Ideas?

My pants are tight. I feel the need to fast and at the same time console myself with food. I ought to eat a salad this afternoon, we shall see if I can do that or not.

Tina I would make street tacos if you have a place to heat the meat. Or Tacos in a bag. You can prep everything in advance. We do this for get togethers and have been requested to continue at family events. Another thing that people like are mini club sandwiches you can bring all the ingredients and they can make their own. Meat and cheese trays, and other fixings can be prepared in advance. Then individual bags of chips and cookies for dessert.
You'll be right by my condo when you are in Phoenix! You're probably going to the event center that we ride our bikes past occasionally!

We could do that however I think that would defeat the purpose of my husband even going to work. We just made out our budget for the year and we definitely don't need to work to make money. But, I'm sure my husband would think he's wasting money if he spent it on leasing a vehicle. He has mentioned buying a used vehicle but then again why work? I have an electric bike so I have transportation to get me around this area. However if I went to work and left my bike locked outside, my electric bike would probably not be mine for very long..🥺 I think my husband liked the role of hunter-gatherer and does not want to give up and settle for Beach bum! 🏖️

Pip--New bettie looks great and those are very lucky fur basbies.
KJ--Sounds like a great visit and moving closer. Happy Face!
Ginny--Hope DB does well with home therapy.
Beth--It has been a long time since I have seen a bed made like that , with pillows tucked in. Not sure why or when I stopped doing it that way. Memories.
Heather--Loving the pictures and Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us.
We have been looking for a different car as need something with a third row seat as when we take all the kids to church we have to make 2 trips. Well this last Saturday we drive by the place we usually but from and they had a new one of the KIA telluride, so we stopped to look and well we pick it up today after work. They gave us a great trade in for the KIA we have as is only 2 years old and been kept up. So am kind of excited about that.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE6
