120.9. I have not dipped below the 120 mark this time around not sure if I did after VSG or not, if so it would have been fleeting! The lowest "adult" weight I can remember was 116 in High School and I was anorexic at the time!

Getting the damaged wood floor repaired today. Hopefully it won't be too much of an expense. It's a pretty small job and I'm thankful to have found someone to take it on and in such a short timeframe!

DSD, SIL and DC1 will all be here for dinner. Should be interesting as we are now using a fold out table and lawn chairs as our dining room furniture! Costco's orange chicken with my modification to the sauce is on the menu. I'm trying my best to use up freezer and pantry supplies we already have on hand!

Liz, did you have to do the massage with your filler that was so painful for me? Sounds like your experience so far was much better than mine!

Well, I now have 3 specialists in addition to my PCP! Dermatology for annual skin checks and any future cosmetic stuff, endocrinologist for my thyroid nodules, and an orthopedist for my osteoporosis. That's a lot for someone who feels pretty fit. I will probably be going on Reclast, the IV medication for osteoporosis which is why my PCP wants me to be followed up by an orthopedist. Speaking of my PCP, she said that though I walk a lot (3.5 miles a day), that isn't enough of a weight bearing exercise. I need to add some more weight to the exercises. She said some of the positioning in yoga counts. I may talk to our fitness director to see what I could add here. I don't want to have to go outside the community to take a class, but I am not good at keeping up with exercising on my own (though I did look up some exercises on Google).

Today I have water aerobics and 2 bocce games (one is a makeup game of a rained out one from last week). This is the next to last week of games before the finals (which I am sure we won't be in again). We have tried harder this year with weekly practices but just aren't that good.

The weather has changed dramatically over the past the last 2 days after a prior 2 days of incredible rain and lightening. We had about 9 inches of rain in those 2 days with several lightning strikes in the area, one of them a block from us. Both Justice and I screamed when that one hit! The golf courses have been closed since Sunday afternoon so the golf associations including DH's today haven't been able to play. I play tomorrow and with the weather change the course should be dry enough. The humidity is way down so it was cooler last night and the AC can be off during the day with the windows open. I love when we can let the outdoor air inside!

Have a weathering Wednesday!

LOL! We did exactly that when we lived in a neighborhood with trick or treating (after the kids were grown). Put the dogs in crates, left a bucket of candy on the porch, turned the main house lights off, and went out to dinner.

LOL!!

Made the trek to see Mom and am back home again! Makes for a long day but I just don't know when the last time I will see her will be. She looked today! We went out for Mexican (one of her favs too) and just visited a bit. Took the dogs to daycare and had them groomed while there. $200 later, they look and smell good!

Liz, so happy to have made your dream! I wonder what I was teaching? I did a lot of that in my career! Also cool that you had a nice dream about Elise!

Lots of work being done at your house CC! I hope the porta potty stays upright too! Yuck!

Enjoy your Halloween party Diane! We try to avoid the hullabaloo and usually go out to eat during Trick or Treat time. Keeping the dogs at bay with the constant knocking at the door would drive all of us mad!
