Sixty long minutes, stretched and pulled from all directions, left me exhausted. That goodness, the staff at PEAK PERFORMANCE in Orange are such professionals. They know which buttons to push and which buttons to leave alone. My mid-section is still fragile and will be for another month.
After the gym, we walked to Ralph’s Market and filled the basket with essentials. Mary had a list, and I used my eyeballs; when I see something I want, I toss it into the basket, and Mary does not see it until the checkout stand. I am sneaky that way!
In the afternoon, I walked around the garden before going to the doctor. My weight loss and constant tummy pain were getting to me. Mary worked her magic and got a 2:00 pm appointment. The doctor said to eat more calories, eat six times a day, and don’t drink with a meal, wait 30 minutes.
We decided to get a CT scan and wait two weeks. If things have not improved, we will return to the surgeon who did the work.
Returning home, we watched a couple of movies. Our favorite tonight was Christmas Above the Clouds. Christmas Above the Clouds is a 2025 Hallmark movie starring Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes, premiering on November 8, 2025. It’s a modern adaptation of A Christmas Carol, with Krakow playing a workaholic CEO who meets her ex (Hynes) on a Christmas Eve flight to Australia. During the flight, she is visited by three spirits who show her the past, present, and future.
We finally hit the sack around 11:00 pm. It was a good day!
