February Events

This month was full of cold temperatures and snow. Fred was a prince to take me to work and then pick me up because I'm a little chicken about driving in the snow. The temps have been single digits. The last few days I've driven the Subaru to and from work and did okay. Not really any fresh snow so I was brave. Fred driving me is a very strong love language for him. He is always looking out for my safety. 

Fred and I went to see The Wizard of Oz on stage. It was really so good. I'm always amazed how spot on the actors are compared to the original actors. In the Pace Center Theater there is no bad seat.

We made some progress in getting the living room in order. I got both curio cabinets set up. I couldn't remember how I had things arranged before, but finally got them how I like.

I'm not done here yet. I have stuff to put on top. 

We decided we wanted to have really nice temple picture in the living room. We had to decide which temple we wanted to hang up. The Los Angeles, Seattle, St. George and now Denver were our choices because they are the ones we have/will attend during our lives on a regular basis. LA and Seattle Temples are actually quite plain and we never developed a fondness for St. George - So Denver was the winner. We ordered this print of the Denver Temple.

Since I left my job in January of 2021, I've gained 20 lbs. Between that transition and honestly all the stress related to moving and planning our new living space, I've been super stressed. When I went to my doctor and we talked she suggested I take something to take the edge off. So I'm back on an anti-depressant. I was feeling on the edge of anger all the time. So the rest of the story is I have decided to join the Optavia Program that Krista Radeke has been so successful losing weight on. I just have not been able to get a handle on losing the weight. It has affected me in every aspect of my ability to settle here and be comfortable with myself. I've not been comfortable being my usual outgoing self. That's a problem for me. So here are my two before pictures. 

So this brings us to today.
