I'm feeling pretty good today. I just turned 69 earlier this month but in my head I'm still 17 and reckless. I had my last day of physical therapy, at least for this go 'round with the insurance companies. I got the go-ahead from my medical team to re start my yoga instruction. That's helped me gain quite a bit of mobility so far. The only thing giving me difficulty is transitioning from reclining postures to standing and back down again, but I'm improving steadily. I feel like I'll be...

The new one is mostly for guests, but I like it better so, I view it as "mine".

Funny how one project grows and morphs into something bigger. I wanted a bathtub taken out of and converted into a walk-in shower as both my Mrs and I prefer showers to soaking in the tub. The bathroom in question is for the first floor and the second-floor guest rooms. I would rather have a half bath for the first floor (Where the master suite is) and a walk-in shower with W/C & vanity upstairs for the guest rooms except it would necessitate repositioning a wall and running plumbing up from...
