A very pooped person writing this journal entry....4.3 miles logged for the challenge, bringing the cumulative total to 12.7 miles which will stay that way until Monday. I walked 4.2 miles and swam an extra tenth.
I just got back from a productive mall trip....got the items I wanted at the Hallmark Ornament Open House event and also made the first visit to the jewelry shop near the mall that will be repairing my wedding ring. Over 5 years ago, the diamond popped out and, due to having gained so much weight, I had to have my DH cut off the now-empty band. The prongs that had held the diamond were just sticking up and would have caught on everything in sight! I was thankful the diamond popped out at home where it was easy to locate rather than having come out during a trip a few weeks prior, somewhere in an airport or in a hotel or who knows where else!
I've been postponing the repair due to embarrassment and also because I wasn't sure who I could really trust to do the repair correctly....the band is now pretty mangled and the prongs aren't too pretty either! But, in defense of these rings, I had worn that engagement ring DAILY for close to 30 years....I very rarely took it off. In fact, had I been taking it off regularly, I'd probably never have gotten to the point where I couldn't take it off any longer due to my weight. Because that ring wouldn't come off, I also postponed my colonoscopy, knowing that they'd require me to remove the ring prior to going under anesthesia, and I couldn't get it off at that time. So, in a very strange way, the stone popping out was a blessing, as it got me to get the band cut off and then a few months later, I did eventually get that colonoscopy done, as I should have.
Now, at nearly my wedding weight, it's time to get this ring repaired and back on my hand where it should be.
