Nice that your good heartedness in helping your neighbor with her Christmas decorations was rewarded with a fairly easy job and a yummy lunch!

I bet the training for Kirby will be great. Especially if a little sibling is in the cards.

Finny how a little threat to go elsewhere lit a fire under the architect's butt. Hope you can plans soon!

198.4. Probably because of lack of potty productivity!

Well I tried the senior weight video again with 3 pound weights and made it through easily. 3! Argh. My shoulder/arm that's been bothering me since June is still problematic, so there were several things I couldn't do. I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with it, and came to the realization that it's primarily my bicep with a little shoulder involvement. I got a massage gun wondering if maybe I had torn something in my bicep that's healed poorly (the most pain I get is reaching back behind me, which I now realize I do A LOT and is likely how I hurt it to begin with - into the backseat from the driver's seat, to my nightstand from bed, putting a jacket on, holding the dog on a leash, etc). I got a massage gun figuring if it was adhesions or something, maybe it would help. It has made a huge difference in my range of motion! I feel like I've gotten 30% of my range back. It still hurts (I can't hold my arm out straight to the side or raise any higher from that position) and I think there's a lot of compensating issues that are creating pain, but it's helped. I probably need to see an orthopedist and have PT... Another thing for the endless list.

My measurement suit comes today haha! I shall report back.

The Christmas decoration removal was easy. She had already stripped the tree. It was mostly putting it all back into the garage shelving and bagging up the tree. She made us lunch and it was yummy. She was telling me about her gym/trainers and it's the same one Peps looked up for me (not the same exact trainer, she's booked up). I may give them a call.

Kirby played with her dogs and was so out of control eventually I drove him home. He's got no ability to just play nicely or stop when they don't want to play anymore. We are meeting with a new trainer tomorrow.

Today my folks and I are meeting with the architect from MI on Zoom who has been taking her sweet time on the plans for the two houses. She originally said she'd have them by September. Last month we asked if she was too busy and should we find someone else. She finally got moving... My folks want a bigger bathroom and closet and some kind of lift to get in and out the house should someone not be able to use the stairs (the whole house is raised up about 5 feet and accessed via stairs). So reworking the primary bedroom end of their house. I want to redo my bathrooms.

It's sunny and beautiful here if a little cool with a high of 52. No balloons today. That's my world today. Take care!

It is 5:50 and DH is up so a quick post.

Nice early part of the day laying around the pool, then a great game watching the Patriots win. The bar we were at was full, mostly with Patriots fans but also a few Bronco fans. The start of the game was a little nerve-wracking.

We leave the hotel at 6:45 for a 9 am flight. Back in Fort Lauderdale at 11, then home hopefully by 2. Can't wait to see my little Justice! Good thing we aren't flying to New England as it is still snowing there. But my quick look this morning seemed to indicate that they did not get as much snow as originally predicted. More like a foot or less instead of the potential 2 feet they were warning about.

Have a moving Monday!

Nice that you can go to a local Mexican restaurant there. We have a good one near us in Florida we go to frequently. I suspect ICE won't be around in Florida too much because most communities, like Mar a Lago, are largely supported by immigrant workers. We couldn't manage without them.

Yep, I think we all use our BM status to explain some changes in weight. I think that is perfectly valid.

I did google swollen ears after a facelift and a lot of sources like RealSelf (which I think is fairly valid) mention it as a frequent after affect for some people potentially lasting a few weeks. Most said not to worry unless there were signs of infection present.
