Bill-- my only living relative (besides my hubby and daughters) is my elderly uncle who has lived in Rhode Island most of his life. He despises the winters and wanted to move away years ago but his wife is much younger than him and she was still working and didn't want to move. They won't move at this point and it makes me sad because he is utterly miserable and in very poor health. He is so far away from us on the West Coast that we rarely see him. I can't imagine living anywhere cold anymore (I was born in Connecticut and lived in Massachusetts).
Weekend was well spent running errands and doing things around the house, but nothing too fun. And the house projects are in the in-between stage where it just looks messy. We got the couch hauled away that Ellie destroyed, so we moved a big dresser downstairs to take its spot. It looks much better as we just had a random couch in the dining room that was only used by the dogs (and eaten). However, everything that was in the upstairs piece is now on the floor while we find time to go through it and figure out what to do with the various old stuff. As our TV was on the piece upstairs, that necessitated a search for a new cabinet or other piece of furniture for the TV. We went to several stores and searched online. We finally decided on a TV console/ electric fireplace unit! I'm super excited that we will have a "fireplace" in our bedroom, but we have to wait for it to be shipped and then find time to put it together.
Weight is up about a pound after the weekend. Did yoga but didn't make the gym or any other exercise so I'm not too surprised.
