My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

Another very warm day. No moisture. Our retirement group had a good lunch and good conversation. I had my stitches removed. All good. Healing well. My lethargy has nothing to do with the extraction, so giving it one more day…then to my Primary Care physician. Glad I’m renting…the cost to fix my bathroom was $745. Work done very well. New tile in bathroom, laundry room ceiling looks like new. Toilet has a new seal and shouldn’t cause future problems.
