I hate to say it but I have 4 doctors here in Florida, and all their appointments were jammed into the first two weeks of Feb. And all but one are in Venice, a mere 35 miles away. So we tried to connect the docs with lunches down that way we enjoy. First up, a favorite, Star Thai, where i had an absolutely delicious duck salad that I never had before, and Jan had a great pork larb.
It was a great lunch made better by the fact we both had to fast for our labs that morning:-)
The weather up until 2 days ago was too cold to sit out, even walking around was a challenge, mornings were in the 20's and 30's, in FLORIDA! We did manage to get our hut up and ready for warming weather.
We have been able to meet BIL Tom several times for lunches. Good times.
I can proudly say I can now put on my socks and shoes myself, even my left one, and my walking is increasing all the time. Another doc of mine is in Sarasota, so we went out to Walt's after and had a great lunch, good conch chowder, tasty grouper bites, and amazing seared tuna sliders.
Two days ago we were able to have our very first outdoor HH in months and months, and luckily, the forecast looks good to continue going forward, after all if we are in Florida we should enjoy some of what it offers:-)
So barring anything unexpected, we both got another year on the doctor front. We are making progress on our house plan as well, we got the first and second draft so far and feel it will only take one more to have plan in hand to be able to use. Hopefully in several more weeks we can put all the ducks in a row to pull this thing together, fingers crossed.
