It is chilly this morning. Yesterday we had a wonderful harbor cruise in the afternoon viewing lighthouses and various islands. Casco Bay is full of both and some have ferries going to them. A lot for DS to explore here.

We went to fish place on the water for lunch and I had a bowl of lobster stew. Amazing but I could only eat half. The guys helped with the other half.

We are going out for Sunday breakfast shortly and will leave Portland after we get showered and pack up. We stop halfway at DH's daughter's home to watch the football game and pick up Justice.

Not much else to report. Our adventures are over for a while as it is time to focus on house and wedding stuff. Have a salty Sunday!

Tickled for you, DD. It's wonderful to find a place / process / perspective that is comforting, even soothing. For me, being in control without being obsessive is a very pleasing place to be.

I mourn the loss of light in late autumn and early winter when the sun is setting at 4pm. But I totally love dusk lingering past 10pm in June and July. I tell myself to get one, you have to have the other.

Bummer 'cause I really liked the endo a lot. Whipple "stuff" is up at KUMed and I could go up there but it's about 3 hours up the road, and hoping to find a good one closer, and you are right-in very short supply. I understand there is an excellent one only about an hour away--reestablishing is such a pain!

Wedding was great and the bride and bride made such a lovely couple. I love weddings because in the ceremony my own, even after so many years, is memorialized-

My biyearly check up is in a few weeks so giving it till then and take PCPs recommendation.

Feeling pretty much ok and no, I really don't know just the calories are. I'm eating when ever and what ever I want to and as much as will fit. Pancreas is totally fickle and constantly changes what it will tolerate. It seems like I'm getting enough but maybe I have been over distracted and not paying enough attention. I see more popcorn in my immediate future!

Did your endocrinologist leave his patients to another doctor or have any recommendations for who you could switch to? I know endocrinologists are in very short supply!

I agree with the others, warrants getting checked out! Hopefully you won't have a long wait! Have fun at the wedding!

Official last day is June 2nd but he will probably have enough vacation to be done mid April!
