"decided not to use this contractor", forsooth! I miss your beautifully British understatements.
Forsooth, or should I say, for tooth? Your narrative is woefully incomplete; how did you break said tooth? Temp? When do you get permanent fillings? I've had a couple of fillings fall out, too; 40+ year old fillings will do that.
Kudos to you for continued diligence with yoga & dance. We still do our walks at Reynolds 5 days most weeks. I like morning walks, because we see more flowers & hear more birds; ze spouse prefers afternoon walks, when there's a better chance of lizards or butterflies. Now that it's cooling off, flowers open later & close earlier. Leaves have only begun to change in isolated splots, though. How about near you?
Yay for fun family visits! The only blood family I have left is a cousin, who lives across the state; we keep in semiregular touch by email. My bridesmaid & I have been friends for 40 years now, which a) blows my mind and b) is *just wrong*. She was off a couple of days, so we went to lunch one day & Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary yesterday. Lots of tigers, bears, macaws, emus, etc., in large enclosures with lots of places for them to run, rest, play, climb, scratch, etc.
Ze spouse still does his monthly marathon marches [12-20 miles]. I found him a hiking book at the library book sale yesterday.
Today is 10 months since Max died. When one's parent dies, one does wonky things; I warn you now. With my mom, it was delivering Christmas cards & newsletters at GaFilk the following year. With Max, it is being overcome with ennui & forward apathy & bagging lots of booksales. I still make some [especially when I've got donations to get rid of], but not my usual quota. Finally getting his house sold brings things back in a big way. I would tell you to prepare your heart, but there's really no way. Some days it's gut-punches, other days it's pinpricks.
Still & all, the day is gorgeous, the spouse is cuddly [& culinarily inclined], & my friend is able to make improvements on his eyes, health, & house. Life is good.
