Volume 17 - Day 48/317, 2025 - Monday

First full day home, and I was kind of busy. Not busy like I used to be, but busy. Of course, the day started with a walk, and walking is more rewarding in the neighborhood than it was on the boat. I mentioned that to Richard when we were 'boat walking.' Paul joined us, but he only did a bit of the walk, he was having an issue with either his ankle or his knee, apparently I was not paying that much attention, but it was great to see Paul again after being gone for a week. I went in to the office and got there at about 10:30, got done what I needed to get done, and left about noon:30. I had a text from my friend Teri that my garage door was open, and I am 100% certain that it closed when I left this morning. I can open and close the door remotely, and that has worked well for me in the past. Not today. Richard checked it out, and apparently a piece of the insulation on the garage door was loose and caused the sensors to be tricked and not let the door close. Richard tricked the sensors to ignore it, and got the door closed for me. I re-secured the insulation when I got home, and all is well now. Linda and Jimmy invited me to join them for dinner in Georgetown, and that was fun, always fun to hang out with them. I have three things that need to get done tomorrow, so I hope all the scheduling works out. The girls won't like it, but it is what it is! We have had some freezing weather, more tonight and LOTS colder Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. I guess the cold doesn't bother these little purple flowers. Happily!
