Weight 127.2. I need to stop eating so much and going out. So I say on a day when I am going out for lunch and dinner. Short-rib tacos tonight!

I put up some pictures at Mike's yesterday. The fully blank walls in the great room really needed something. I think he likes them. Today he has a couple of medical appointments in the am so I will take my time getting myself together and probably knitting some more on the stocking while sitting on the lanai. Or I could go to the pool for a while. Hmmm...that's a thought.

It is weird that I still don't have any close relatives or friends who have knowingly had Covid. Just one acquaintance and she didn't know she was sick but was having a test for travel. Maybe we are all just careful enough? It will be interesting what the governor of Florida will do once our new president is in office. Other than in the initial stages of Covid he has been very resistant to implementing restrictions, but has left it to the counties. So it is sort of haphazard but it seems like some of the businesses have been doing the right thing on their own here.

Have a safe and healthy day.

Scale down a pound today. Yesterday it was just trying to mess with my head. Maybe poltergeists like living in bathroom scales and wreaking havoc on people's minds?

Today I have coffee with a friend and my last PT this afternoon.

It's a balmy 46 right now. And Ferg is wandering outside so the door is open. Brrr.

Anyway, I should go think about getting in the shower...

Good Morning All - Hump Day here and Im up early as I have lots to do. Brought home a pile of washing from DSS house to help out. We are expecting storms this afternoon so I will get it out while its still warm

Went back over to DSS for the first time since July. It was wonderful to spend time with them all especially our grandsons. The lockdown has been exceptionally hard on my DIL so I will work over the coming Tuesday evenings to help her get back on top of things.

Today after work I am taking my mum to see my aunt for a quick visit. Will be outside and with masks on but should be lovely. Im then bringing her home again and we will pick up some take away for dinner. I need to change her bed and do a few things at her house. Then Im hoping for a responsibly early night as last night was midnight before I got to sleep

Weight 179.52 - surprising as I ate Pizza last night

I had best get moving - lots to achieve

Have a wonderful evening all

Taco Tuesday... When did that become a thing? I was absent that day....

Interesting session with the shrink. Perhaps I can write more about it on the TT page.

Had to tell Ron I was simply uncomfortable with him going to a funeral to support a coworker with whom he only has a passing acquaintance. These are the types of gatherings that are becoming spreaders in our county. I told him I was fine that we see our closest friends because we know and trust them, but even then we are cautious. Going to a large funeral for someone you don't know is not prudent in these times. I pointed out, too, I was not comfortable with him putting my health at risk, if he went. He understood and opted not to go.

I think this is the kind of slip up that is happening more and more because people have "Covid Fatigue". Completely understandable, too. Though, a part of me thought to myself, what the hell are you thinking????!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day. My grandfather would be 124 tomorrow, were he alive. He always liked to point out with a wink and a smile that his birthday was chosen to be Armistice Day. I am personally looking forward to a leisurely morning.

Best wishes to one and all.

Good decision from Ron I think Peps. I can relate to Covid fatigue but I think with the amount of cases you guys are facing daily - you are both making wise choices. Stay safe x

I think it's the automatic "good person" decisions that trip people up. A "good person" would go to a funeral if things were normal. Sometimes the "good person" impulse is so ingrained and automatic, you forget Covid says it's a bad idea.

My BFF and his partner are two of the most uptight Covid phobic people I know. He wouldn't even see me with masks on until late September. If they have it, it just shows you're only as safe as the least careful person you are in contact with. Good for you for speaking up!

Though honestly I felt a bit parental and *****y.

Maybe the delivery could have been nicer, but at least you said something. You're protecting him, yourself, your dad, and everyone else in your bubble.

School is getting kind of eery, as more staff and teachers are out because they have Covid, or had a direct exposure. We have 4 more days of hybrid, then we move to distance learning. Elementary moves on November 30.

Shorts and outdoor dining Saturday and Sunday, 60s and rain Monday, today when I left work, my car was encased in ice! Quiet night at home. I'm watching Last Tango in Halifax, really enjoying it. I'm not a binge watcher though, so it will take me a long time to get through 4 seasons.

Eating went well today. It feels good to be in control, and to eat nourishing food. I'm on a 2 day streak!
