142.8

Not too bad, considering.

2nd day in a row feeling relatively well and energy to actually do something. Took Swann for something of a walk about, bit of kitchen fun- chopped 6# of lovely sweet onions for the freezer , cooked up a batch of candied orange peel, and clean up after. The peel will set out overnight to dry. I make it over Christmas (obviously didn't happen) so there were 8# of oranges waiting. Better late than never. It's crack around here and a real favorite.

Watching the Bills and Broncos. Overtime and rooting for the Bills (better looking uniforms) but looking unlikely at the moment. Yep....done deal- O well.

Today's activities: I'm finished packing except for toiletries. I even have my complete airplane outfit set aside, and the warm weather version of it I will change into once I am in the Sao Paulo airport.

I called my Dad today, and he said he was overwhelmed with loneliness Friday morning but when he opened his front door to go for a walk there were two packages. One was from Amazon. My son and his girlfriend ordered him cleats to strap on his shoes to help him walk on ice. The other was chili and cornbread from his neighbor. He said his heart lifted so much at that moment, and he told himself he wasn't alone. The pastor who did my Mom's service paid a call, and he said they had a nice talk. That man is a true Christian. I hope my Dad will consider attending his church from time to time.

BFF brought us dinner again. We had a good time with her and nephew.

I'm feeling really tired today. I guess it's all catching up with me. Not long, and we're on our way. Soon I can join the I'm sunning by the pool people. : )
