123 - down .4 so headed in the right direction. I did increase my tirzepatide dose yesterday so hopefully a bit of decreased appetite will get me back to where I was. I love not having to think about dieting anymore and just rely on my appetite being in the right place and eating healthy. I may bring my scale to the Keys though...

It wasn't nearly as cold yesterday because the sun was bright and there was less of a breeze. Working at the tennis tournament was actually pretty warm so the 2 layers of vests/jackets I brought were unnecessary. Today is supposed to be slightly warmer but we are not working the tournament today though we are tomorrow afternoon.

Weird thing in the condo yesterday. Apparently one of the electrical phases went out causing half the electricity in the condos in our building to go out (literally half - some lights and appliances worked but some did not). The power company had to come fix it. The elevator is still not working because it has to be reset by a technician. Good thing none of us rely 100% on the elevator. I wonder if it had been fluctuating previously because a new neighbor in the building has had electrical damage to several of his large appliances including the AC since he moved in a couple of months ago. He is in a ground floor unit so maybe the electricity starts there so he got the brunt of it? Just an hypothesis.

Today we don't have too much to do. The usual Justice walk, yoga at 11, a meeting with a golf staff member about the event I am running in late February, some errands this afternoon and probably Mexican food tonight. We have to plan our meals since we are leaving Sunday and want to have the leftover beef stew tomorrow night after working at the tennis tournament since we will be late getting home again. I used to make this recipe years ago and loved it but hadn't made it for many years. DH also loved it, so will add it back into my repertoire.

DH's grandson totaled his car, so DH is lending his 6 year old car to his daughter so she has time to consider what to do about it. The grandson is very busy with activities as is his sister, so DSD has relied on her son getting himself to everything. Sounds like DH is contemplating selling his car to them ultimately but hasn't really decided. That would leave us with one very small, 9 year old convertible (my car) up north. Given DH's previous golf playing in the summer, this makes me nervous because he doesn't play nearby and it is usually an all day event. Here we can walk to golf and other activities so one car works out fine. But we are also thinking that we will only go north for 2-3 week short stints this summer and use Florida as home base, so maybe he won't play up there? More change maybe...

Have a fine Friday!

I think the risk is that teeth surrounding the missing tooth may move and also maybe bone loss/gum issues? Might be more of a risk for DC1 because of their age than us older folks. We went through this discussion when deceased DH got an implant (which in retrospect we shouldn't have done given his diagnosis but didn't really think through that).

I did get some Pelican pics today, both white and brown! I share some on TT over the next few days!

The tooth issue stems from a now failed root canal, probably a small fracture in the tooth or perhaps a missed small channel of a canal with the original root canal. Either way, the tooth is coming out and hopefully within a year I will have an implant, to the tune of $5,000! If there is too much bone loss or a hole from the tooth to the sinus cavity, I might just have to have a bridge or go toothless. Both DH and DC1 had molars pulled last year and neither was willing to pay for an implant or bridge and they are both doing fine!

I bet the presidency of the Airdale club is a doozy of a role with a lot of personalities! This experience just reinforces the realization I came to working a phone job in financial services as a youngin':

I used to think the world was mostly normal people peppered by weirdos. It's absolutely not. It's primarily weirdos peppered with normal people!

We have not yet sorted out or golf cart issue. We are awaiting a call from the GM and he was out of town until this Wednesday I think working the PGA in Orlando I think. We were going to give him a few days to let the dust settle but plan to call tomorrow or Monday if we don't hear from him.

Im glad the play dates are going well! Such a good boy!
