119.4 - minus .2. Definitely hovering

Not much sleep last night: 3-3.5 hours. I read from 4 am until I got up at 6:30 after lying there not falling back asleep for a long time. Maybe worrying about returning to normal in a few days. Who knows?

Yesterday was only a one deer day, but what a beautiful buck. No fear as it walked across in front of me by only about a foot or two. They will run if the dog gets too close and barks or if we make a quick movement, but if we move slowly and quietly they just seem curious. Definitely should not be feeding them anything as I am guessing that is part of why they are so fearless (and perhaps also why we have seen them several times in the trailer park across the street).

We heard great music yesterday. Yes, Paula, I am a Tiki Bar lover! Always in search of a new one to try out LOL.

Not sure of the plan today but I think there may be some beach time (we only went one other time in the last 2 weeks). We may do a last Key West visit tomorrow afternoon. We leave Saturday to spend Valentine's night in Captiva and see how it fares. The last time we were there was about a year after Hurricane Ian and there was a lot of rebuilding that needed to happen. Also, will be interesting to see how much of the greenery is back as it was all brown back then.

In the meantime have a thriving Thursday!

Great that you have a friend in the area for a while.

I wouldn't cook if DH was gone either but that doesn't happen often.

Stinks about the cart but hopefully it will mostly be resolved. Seems like the GM didn't even get his facts straight before he talked to you previously. Not too smart.

Sounds like you are getting a little bored and want to add back some crafty/arty stuff? Just don't add too much. I bet as time goes on you will have more and more activities. Balance between busy and relaxed are the key to retirement.

A dream come true with a dreamy man. Good things do happen to good people

I love this for you both!!!

Liz, a tiki bar with live music is right up my alley! You and I would get along just fine!

119.2, I guess I eat less when DH is gone!

No water aerobics this morning. The 9:00 class was held at 8:30 and the 10:00 class was cancelled because most of the ladies were going to be going to the monthly ladies luncheon!

My former coworker who is spending a month in North Fort Myers (though leaves this coming Monday already) came over today and we walked almost 5 miles! Goes quickly when chatting with a friend.

Tomorrow we will walk again and do dinner out together since DH is gone! I will do the 9:00 water aerobics too. Skipping phone in Bible study to enjoy the sunny day!

Leftovers again tonight (the Thai red curry soup). That's the last of the leftovers except for some farro. Good thing I'm going out to eat tomorrow. Have not cooked since DH left. Still have not turned on the t.v.

Golf cart issue won't get resolved. Business responded to the BBB complaint and won't budge. I did find out that they did not bait and switch us though, the cart is a 2025. The GM had told us otherwise on the phone so that was one issue I was extra mad about and feel better knowing it wasn't the a discontinued model and hadn't sat in a warehouse in Orlando for a few years as the GM had indicated. It still had significant damage and they failed to disclose that was the reason for the markdown. We would have never bought it sight unseen if we had known that. Hopefully they fix all the non cosmetic problems and send it back to us without spitting or peeing on it just to get back at us for the complaints and bad reviews. I still feel like we got screwed.

Still seeing if I can be a vendor at one of the antique/flea market places. Also contacted a gallery today to see what the process is for selling there. Also thinking of reopening my Etsy shop but paring it down quite a bit.

Time for a bath and a little relaxing before bed!
