I saw that California was having nasty weather and wondered if you were affected. Definitely best not to drive in it with an RV!

The numbness from my facelift seemed to take a couple of years to fade to where I don't notice it. I think I am still not as sensitive in some places but am used to it.

Great Dexa especially considering you couldn't work out for a few weeks. And congrats on 199.3!

Good morning from wet, windy, thundery, cold Northern CA. (I have wondered for several years why my area is considered Northern California, when we are actually almost smack dab in the middle of the state. Where Diane S lives is truly northern CA. I think back in the day LA was in the south and San Francisco was considered the north and it's just stuck. To hell with geography!) Of course, I just took a little ADHD trip on the computer to verify my geographical thinking and discovered the Ano Nuevo State Park is the mid point of the California coastal route. That's about 90 minutes south west from here. I also discovered that the city of Madera is the actual midpoint of CA and that at the mid point on the state on Hwy 99 they have planted a pine tree to represent the north and a palm tree to represent the south showing where the north and the south meet. Who knew California had its own version of the Mason-Dixon line?!

199.3 this morning. Yippee!

I had planned on fetching the RV today, but will wait until Thursday. It's calm right now, but we have severe winter weather and wind advisories until late afternoon. I don't need to be driving a 12 foot tall 32 foot long vehicle over the pass in gusty winds with wet roads.

I'll visit dad after lunch do some things around the house today instead. Yesterday was spent doing not a lot. I watched a lot of the Olympics (guilty pleasure), worked out, did a little closet cleaning, dog food prep, and puttered away the day.

Facial healing continues. The numbness is holding on, but my ears are feeling more and more normal. Incision healing is doing beautifully. I have one that will need revision in May, but the rest are beautiful.

I don't think I mentioned that I had another DEXA scan last Friday. I was pleased to finally be under 30% body fat. I was at 29.5. And my lean mass didn't decrease at all! It was actually UP by .7 of a pound, while body fat was down 1.1 pounds and total weight was down by by .2. True body composition change while maintaining a stable weight. Pretty cool! Next scan will be mid May.

Not much else around here.

Typing this outside of OH to copy in as it seems a little wonky this morning.

Yesterday was fairly productive. The refrigerator arrived around noon. It took 2 hours to get the old one out and the new one set up because the doors had to come off because of the way the counter protrudes. But it is humming away and producing ice and my wine cooler has returned to just holding wine.

I ordered the blinds for the bedroom yesterday. Waiting to get an appointment for them to come and measure. I also ordered a bunch of paint samples for the bedroom. After the refrigerator arrived, we went food shopping and I made chili con carne (no beans) and cauliflower hummus. I used essentially the same recipe for the chili that I used to use with beans but increased the tomatoes and peppers. It tasted great but next time I will add a larger quantity of ground turkey.

The cyst was removed quite painlessly and it didn't even hurt later when the anesthetic wore off. Because of the location, changing the bandage is impossible for me to do so I will have to have help before and after showers for a while. What a pain.

Today we walk, then I have to have lab work done. It is a fasting lab, so I haven't had coffee yet. I only drink one cup but I really need it. I will have it after my lab work. Will probably have to wait for my shower too as DH will be at the gym until after that.

We are going to Fort Lauderdale for the night to see DH's son and daughter-in-law who are here for a few days from Poland. Quick turn around - we should be gone for about 24 hours.

Not much else to report. Have a total Tuesday!

Nice to get a bit of a break with Kirby with your Dad and Claudia there.

118.8, I think the same as yesterday.

Hope you have a new refrigerator Liz! Good luck with the cyst removal, make sure they get the sack too (we watch a lot of Dr. Pimple Popper and it is imperative so it doesn?t grow back).

Events can sell out fast here too. Members get first dibs too and right now we are not members.

Water aerobics this morning, some time in the sun while listening to my you tube videos for my call in woman?s Bible study on Thursday. Working on cards for my vendor booth (pretty sure I?m going to give it a try), meet again with the manager tomorrow. I?ll probably get a bigger space for $150/month so I don?t have to solve the problem of only being able to come out 18 inches from the wall. I will still try to get only a 6 month commitment.

55 plus Bible study was a bust last night. Guy teaching it was a whack a mole with some pretty unconventional theological views and wanted everyone there to drink the koolaid too. No thank you!

Salmon with apricot glaze and grilled potatoes, red peppers and onions for dinner. Yum!
