119.8 - minus .4. Basically back into my usual range for the last year and a half.
Nice day yesterday - not too windy so not too cool. We did need to wear light jackets and long pants but it was pleasant. DH and I spent the afternoon in Key West walking along the waterfront and stopping in a couple of places for drinks. DH bought a t-shirt to replace an old one that is falling apart. We met our non-walking friends at a restaurant just outside of Key West for dinner. The movie of the evening was Flash Dance. Footloose is still winning in the best movie category.
Today (and for the rest of our time here) it is supposed to be 70 or higher. Not sure that any day will qualify as a beach day but they will certainly be outdoor days. Maybe we shall see more Key Deer on our walk. They certainly are used to being a protected species as even the dog doesn't make them nervous. So pretty.
Have a satisfying Saturday!

Sounds like DS3 is maturing and knows what he needs from a relationship. Good sign.
Good that your tooth extraction went well. Hopefully all will settle down in your mouth as it heals.

Sounds pretty relaxing there!

You might get prices almost as good from the manufacturers now. I plan to get my tirzepatide from LillyDirect when I need more (as long as your PCP is willing to prescribe them): https://www.lilly.com/lillydirect/medicines/zepbound
Of course you must root for the Seahawks! I wondered what my DB would do as he has lived on the west coast (northern California, now Washington) for more than half his life. He says he is still a Patriots fan. I just hope it is a good game. We are looking forward to Bad Bunny too. They had some cool superbowl t-shirts in San Juan with Bad Bunny on them and our friend bought one. I heard someone complaining that he wasn't from the US. Excuse me? Puerto Rico has been part of the US for a long time.

We all need those days once in a while. I think it is healthy if we allow them, but then just put it behind us and go back to our usual habits (with no guilt). In the past when I hadn't developed healthy eating habits I would continue it day after day (which is why I ultimately was 100 pounds overweight).
Are you able to go to the gym and exercise yet? I think your weight, etc. will go in the direction you want once you are back in your routine.

You were brave trying that sardine recipe! My deceased DH like them, but not me.
That looks like a tasty recipe. Interesting what she says about using sesame oil. I use it in my cauliflower hummus to replace tahini (another high nickel food). I love my hummus.

Oh no! I remember from an earlier "litter" that that isn't a good thing. So sorry.

When our DS and longtime girlfriend broke up, we were worried for him, but turned out to be a blessing that freed him to meet his current and very lovely girlfriend. He is happy in a way he never was before.
120.8,
Tooth extraction went well. The Lorezepam made me sleepy and loopy. Took a good nap as soon as I got home. Minimal pain so far which is being managed by 800 mg ibuprofen.
Don?t go bac****il June to see if bone looks good enough for an implant. I?ll try to keep tabs if infection is present or not.
Left over red curry Thai soup tonight. Was even better the second time around which is often the case.
Found out DS3 broke up with his girlfriend of over 3 years. Probably a wise decision but never easy. Her mental health issues have been affecting him as well (and he has his own issues to deal with) and the future trajectories just don?t seem to be aligning. DS graduates this Spring and plans to pursue grad school in the next few years. Will probably work for a year first to safe up some money! I guess the breakup is amicable, they are still talking which is nice since she lives in the upper apartment he lives in a lower of the same building. He seems to be doing relatively well.
Weather should allow for water aerobics tomorrow as long as tooth pain is okay. We want to hit an art fair in downtown Fort Myers tomorrow.
Tooth says it will be an early bedtime!
