119.2. A new low maybe, will have to go back and check!

Water aerobics this morning and then DH and I went to an art fair in Cape Coral. The only thing we bought was a front license plate decorative cover with a sea turtle and a manatee on it. Florida does not use front plates so we had a bare plate bracket. I may try to squeeze in water aerobics before church tomorrow. Thankfully it doesn't take me too long to get ready for the day.

I think we are going to have Asian pork wraps for dinner. I took some out of the freezer, so all I have to do is warm in the microwave.

Beautiful 87 degree day here. I'm actually a bit sweaty from walking around at the art fair. Perhaps a dip in the pool once we get home!

Oh, it's one of those beautiful winter mornings I love! The sky is crystal clear and it is cold. The roofs and lawns are covered in frost, the sunrise is a lovely pink and there is still a bright waning half moon high in the sky. I just might have to put on my hoodie and go for a little walk.

I'm settling into the healing routine. I was able to nap yesterday - whoo hoo! If I time the meds right I don't have too great a tick up in discomfort. I am hoping to switch over to extra strength Tylenol tomorrow. The ear swelling has lessened quite a bit, as has the swelling on the right side of my face. I did get the yucky post surgical fever yesterday. It wasn't much though - topped out at 100.2

I am going to attempt a shower today. I wonder if I should use a resin garden chair in the shower? While I don't feel terribly unsteady on the Percocet, I know I'm loopy, so I'm probably more unsteady than I realize. Maybe I will ask Ron to help. That might be the best option, actually.

BFF is starting his post holiday depressive cycle. I feel sorry for him, but after 40 years of observing the same cycle, I am prepared to help as best I can without getting sucked in!

Believe it, or not, I have roses blooming in my garden! The last time I had beautiful blossoms in my garden in January was in 1998 when my mom passed away on January 13. I have decided that these roses must be in honor of Diamond D's mother.

Oh jeez, just what you need!

Lovely tribute to your Mom, Diane. It sounds like she did a lot of good in her life. I am positive the memories of those times will become foremost in your mind. You mentioned having a local pastor at her funeral. My mother had also fallen away from going to church but my family's priest did the service for my mother because he was close to us even though not her. Curious about your trip: I know you delayed leaving by a week, but did you also push back your return?

We successfully picked up DS yesterday though he had to wait for us. The plane was 45 minutes early in arriving and we were booked with golf right up until the time we needed to leave for the original arrival time. No big deal though. We went to the Beach Club for dinner and DS and I shared an assortment of su****hat young man sure can eat.

My sinus infection is definitely back - all the usual symptoms fully resumed yesterday so I am back on a steroid spray. I should have taken it longer but thought that I wouldn't need it after we returned to Florida. I was wrong.

We are going south to the next town for lunch and a visit to the Cider brewery today. But first a Justice walk and yoga. And a bath for Justice. He is smelling quite doggy again. Too bad he can't take care of that himself LOL.

Have a saucy Saturday!

I loved the little golf cart I had when I lived on the west coast. We aren't allowed to have them here.

Sedona in the spring should work for me. We currently have few plans though we will likely go away in March as it will be our 5th anniversary.
