118.2 - weight back into the usual range.

Yesterday was a good day for DH playing golf with his longterm friend and me visiting with SIL. The weather was sunny and in the mid-70's. A refreshing change from humid Florida and 90 degrees. DH announced on the drive that he had come to a decision that there would be no more spring cleanup in April - the he is going to hire someone to cleanup the yard in the spring and to mow the lawn until we get here in late spring. He says everyone seems to be too busy and he doesn't like the yard looking like no one lives here. I thought one of his kids might protest and offer to do more but apparently that didn't happen. I think they are used to Dad taking care of things for them.

Today's weather should be similar though with a few more clouds. DH is going to do more yard work. I probably will start repacking for Aruba since we leave to stay near the airport on Friday. I possibly am going to the local senior center for yoga this morning but I need to get my act in gear and go find my yoga stuff in the basement. Not sure I can get motivated quickly enough (or that I want to). It would be easier if it wasn't so gorgeous outside because I hate to miss the morning walk with Justice.

I hope you all have a winning Wednesday!

Those cute little slugs are moving on out the door!

Retirement shall be the cure for many feelings!

I guess I am not the only one having that kind of experience on social media. I thought the reason for those kind of groups was to share information but apparently not everyone agrees.

Son-in-law can be charming but is incredibly lazy though not in his own mind. Everyone puts up with it because his wife does. I sometimes wonder what their relationship is like when they are alone and she is doing all the work, but they seem happy.

Glad to hear you could get the paint fixed so fast.

Good luck with the knees. I have moderate to severe arthritis in both of mine but am hoping to avoid having to have a replacement. One joint felt like enough. In Florida some doctors are doing things like injecting gel into the knee.

I stress ate yesterday. It was after dinner. Wasn't even hungry... gah! Not good. I ended up with "cud", like a damn cow. Boy, do I hate that. It's a post VSG phenomenon. I never had this issue prior to WLS. I had a great deal of remorse... and also had to stay up later than I wanted because lying down was not an option! Needless to say, I was off my feed for the better part of the day.

3 more days! I had gut churns about retirement last night. I can't explain to what I'm reacting, but there is something. I've tried to analyze it, but to no avail. The only thing I can come up with is that this is a helluva transition and I dont' do well even with the smallest transitions! WEIRD!

I decided that I needed to spend some time with my favorite group this week. I emailed the teacher and she gave me permission to come and do music at my regular time tomorrow. So, tomorrow I will end my teaching career with the best group of kids - my K-2 Special Day Class kiddos! They are my hands down favorite group to teach all week. The teacher's email response to my question of "May I come and do one last session..." was fantastic. One word: DUHHHHH!

Off to groom for this weekend's dog shows....
