117.2 - up .4 though I had almost no appetite yesterday so had to make myself eat dinner. Always weird!
One more night/morning without DH. We will have been apart for 10 days. I am ready for his company again!
Yesterday I put off the light housekeeping etc and found a new Tiki Bar (new to me) where I listened to music and watched the football game. Disappointing yet predictable end to the Patriots/Steelers game.
Today our handyman is supposed to be back to install newly painted cabinet doors in the bathroom and finish up some tweaks around new lights in the bathroom and hall. Thursday the bathtub gets painted white vs battleship gray so the makeover will be complete once we put up the new picture above the bathtub. It is DH's birthday gift and is a large photo of the beach we walk to from his Cape Cod house during low tide. Along the lines of freshening up some stuff, I have a counter refinishing place looking at my counter in the kitchen for an estimate tomorrow and the water shut-off valve to the condo is being replaced on Thursday.
My other efforts this fall are getting my follow-up appointments stemming from my new PCP visit.
But first time to walk with Justice and go to water aerobics. Have a mobile Monday!

Good morning Tribe ! I have no excuse for my absence commenting regularly, although I do check in regularly. I've loved the recent reminders of how far we have all come and hearing the experiences of all of us moving forward into new chapters. Wednesday, I leave for ten days in the Azores and Portugal. When I return, I intend to comment more regularly.
My daughters are doing well and Sadie is closing in on eleven and slowing down. Four years without an intimate, romantic relationship (mostly forever without a healthy, intimate, romantic relationship) and I am grateful for my resilience and independence. My life feels rich and full although I do envy aspects of a healthy, intimate relationship with a partner.
Y'all are important to me, and this connection means a lot to me.
