121.2 - still going in the right direction.

It is 27 here this morning!!!! I am getting worried about pipes freezing over the next couple of days. Our not very efficient heat has been running all night but with a setting of 65, it is only 58 in here. I am wearing my down jacket and have a heated throw over my legs and lower body (and Justice of course). I think North Fort Myers is 35 according to my AccuWeather app. Big Pine Key where we are headed later is 51. The high here will be 47 today but not until a lot later. The high in Big Pine will be 55 so Justice's long walk will be this afternoon.

So what a pain yesterday! The delivery people arrived with the refrigerator and refused to bring it up 3 flights of stairs (our elevator is still broken from the electrical failure the other day). What??? The salesperson had assured us that they would do the stairs if necessary. Not true apparently. What would they do if an elevator didn't exist at all? There are 3 story apartments in the area that don't have elevators. Unbelievable!!! So we have to wait until we get back in mid-February to get the refrigerator. If it is the same guy, he isn't getting a tip... I packed all the condiments into my wine refrigerator and everything else is in 1 very large cooler and one smaller one to bring to the Keys. Which should be another challenge: getting the very heavy cooler and our luggage down 3 flights without an elevator. We are getting too old for this stuff.

The only bright light was that our shifts at the tennis tournament were cancelled, so we didn't have to freeze there. Good thing for DH because he was absolutely exhausted yesterday and the afternoon before that. So much so that I was worried that something was really wrong (like a heart issue?). But he says he feels normal this morning finally after sleeping well last night. We slept curled around each other all night to keep warm LOL. Our friends in the Keys requested that we bring extra blankets as there aren't enough in the house we are renting.

The bus is leaving at 7:30 as usual for breakfast. I may shower before that though so we are ready to pack and go when we get back. It is a 5 hour drive to our destination.

Have a somnolent Sunday!

So glad you waited on 5e mom and said something. A three year old can get into all sorts of trouble in a car! Put it in gear and have it roll, play with the cigarette lighter (I burned my thumb as a little kid playing in the car in the garage unsupervised ), or be carjacked. Mom wasn't thinking.

Hope the Keys will be warmer than your place or mine. Brrrrrr! Had to cover up my herb garden again!

120 even today. Yesterday was 120.8 at home (naked and first thing in the morning) but 125.something at the doctors (fully clothed and fed). Finally got set up with my electrophysiologist (heart rhythm doctor that manages my defibrillator). Can't get in to see a PCP until the summer but that is when my annual is due anyway.

Busy today with indoor activities as it is too cold for outdoor activities. I did more photo editing and made up quite a few groupings of pictures to hopefully sell at one of the antique store/flea market shops. I also got a call from a guy that bought some cards from me at an art fair. He gives them out as handwritten thank you cards to business clients and he was inquiring about ordering more.

Think DH and I will relax tonight and watch tv or perhaps a movie!

Some people shouldn't be parents...

Yay on the weight! You are doing well!

So glad your Dad is well enough to come with his wife and visit you! Even better that he will probably be able to take in some activities!

Good idea to have the shoulder looked at before trying out new exercises. Wouldn't want to do more damage!
