118.4 - not terrible after 3 days of snacky eating.

Three days until Christmas. Unbelievable!

Justice was glad to get home after the stress of being with the puppy. He really is a wimp and clearly happy being an "only child". I have a scratch on my face and a bunch of marks and scratches on my hands from said puppy. She has a soft mouth but those needle puppy teeth catch on the skin.

Lots of driving again yesterday (and a bit today, but that was my idea). Two hours from DSD's home to the Cape, then 1 hour to SIL's and 1 hour home. We were home at close to 11 pm last night. Wonderful visit last night with 2 SILs, BIL, and 3 couples we are close friends with. The husband of one of the couples was my deceased husband's closest childhood friend. Both the other couples were friends with myself and deceased husband. I love that they have embraced DH.

This morning we need to get out on a Justice walk after 2 missed days. We all need it but will have to bundle up as it is cold out there. DH is driving over an hour each way to have lunch with his childhood friends (they started doing this twice a year after Covid time). Late afternoon we will drive to my former town again to go to meatloaf Monday with SIL. I love that stuff - it is the only meatloaf I like.

Have a magical Monday!

No surprise your friends embrace DH, as he is a very likeable guy, but also they can see how happy he makes you!

My cold is not Diane's cold after all as I am already feeling better than yesterday.

I have an online doctor's appointment in a few minutes. After that, I'm not sure if we are going for our coffee date, or if there are other things we need to take care of today. I should be warming up a bit, so if we are out and about it might be a bit more comfortable.

I'll be looking for the magical moments this Monday. There are always some if you pay attention!
