Good morning.
Living in a country like Spain where so much shuts down on Sundays has to help you know when it's Monday. The real test is knowing it's Thursday.
We went to downtown Bastrop yesterday to wander around and have lunch. We'd been there before, but Cecilia didn't remember because it was part of the early outings to every town in Texas early on when she got here.
Should be a standard week here. Should be. ๐ค

Happy Monday, Louis - challenge accepted. We love exploring small towns.The second visit to a town is always nice.

Good morning.
A lot of folks get Covid Arm, Debbie. When it hurts so much that all you want to do is coddle the arm and not use it.
Standard day on tap today with the usual meetings and such. We have a screen test at the Austin Film Commission theater for our new short film around lunchtime that I may or may not go to.
Dumpster has been ordered for the next trip to Louisville.

Happy Tuesday...!
Debbie...hope your arm feels better quick! Times goes by so fast...you have had such a experience while retired...
Lou...cleaning out the "stuff" after parents pass is the worst...i found it so emotional and draining experience...i vowed that I will keep my stuff at basic level and find myself constantly purging now because I do not want my kids to go thru that... hopefully the process is quick and their affairs are settled soon...
I am loving this time in my life...i have been here a week and have been so active and concentrating on my health... I have signed up for yoga...and healthy cooking classes at the local hospital ๐ We love to listen to music at outside venues and there are multiple places to choose from daily...
Have a great day...!

Happy Tuesday, Louis - another dumpster, I hope it gets easier each time. Lori - yoga and healthy cooking, sounds wonderful. Do you think you will move there permanently?
The shots have made me sick, just like last year. I woke around 3am hurting everywhere and my head throbbing. My arms are just a little sore. Iโm still glad I got the booster and flu shot.I think with another sleep I will be fine. Iโm sad I missed beach walking today.

Good morning.
Here in Austin, nobody knows if you've got Covid, Flu or Cedar allergies because this is the season for all three. So you just don't hang out with a lot of people or in small spaces to play it safe.
Glad to hear you're making the most of the snowbird lifestyle, Lori. Sorry the Covid booster isn't playing nice, Debbie.
I don't think it will be a quick estate. I can't list the house until the boys are out of school and my brother has moved them out. there's an estate sale that has to be done as well. Since there's debt on the estate, I have to maximize value for creditors rather than dump collectibles at the back door of a museum.

Good morning.
I wish I could say something interesting happened yesterday to regale you with the exciting tale of how it came to be, but my big accomplishment was just depositing a check at the bank that I couldn't do with my phone.
We're expecting cold and maybe ice here Sunday night. So, I'm expecting the panic start any time now.

Happy Thursday, Louis - thank you. You can only handle the estate in the way that works for you. You well do the best you can.
Today I am feeling back to normal. I did body balance and then walked the street market with a friend. Iโm feeling tired.

Good morning.
Those Covid boosters don't mess around, Debbie. Glad you got out a bit yesterday.
Cold front is settling in and wind is picking up. I'm just glad the HVAC system on my floor at the office finally got fixed yesterday. We haven't had heat in 2 weeks. Didn't matter because this is Texas, but it will next week when the freeze comes.

Happy Friday, Louis - I did it to myself. I knew getting both shots at the same time would make me sick. I glad it is over for another year and Iโm ready for the next holiday. Is your holiday set up? Stay warm
Today I did body pump, new haircut lunch with friends then rooftop sunset.

Good morning.
She's been dragging her feet on the trip thing so I'm not sure what to do about it, Debbie. She doesn't seem as excited about it as she was a couple weeks ago and I'm not going to force a pricey trip if she's got her doubts about it.
Definitely colder this morning. Yesterday stated in the 50's and and today just above freezing. We'll have to get out to stock up on a few things at some point and the only grocery store she hasn't been to this week is Aldi. ๐

Happy Saturday, Louis - it is hard a change from your dream vacation. Would she be ok if you set up a trip?
Today I walked the beach with a friend. We had a great time and she joined me at my home for lunch. I made a curry, lentil, chickpea , pea soup. It is a good hearty winter soup. Ted isnโt interested unles I add Italian sausage. The cold snap ends tonight, we return to the 60โs tomorrow.

Good morning.
I'm kind of with Ted on that. Once regular peas are added to the mix, it requires an animal sacrifice.
My issue with that cruise is that nine days are sea days. That's a lot of time as a captive audience. And that far south, it'll be like our Alaska cruise where the pool isn't really an option.
My only accomplishment was a 2 hour nap yesterday.
The cold arrived here overnight. I sent out the annual missive to my coworkers last night reminding them that they're I'll-equipped Southerners who need to invest in hard plastic ice scrapers and raise their wipers for the ice that's inbound.
