This afternoon we head to s-i-l's house. We have nothing else on our schedule today except seeing her. We wanted to stay there to ensure we don't miss our morning appointments regarding the property we might buy, tomorrow. Traffic on the highway north has been horrible, lately. I made a batch of red currant muffins and almond biscotti because s-i-l loved them in the past, but oddly they're not quite as good. I think I know why. Even made some chocolate hazelnut biscotti. They are so-so, too.

I went to my GP yesterday because of a physical ailment I've dealt with for over a week. Hopefully with what she prescribed I'll get over it. If not, I need to go to another doc who can deal with it more aggressively. It's a common condition I've had for decades, but this last week it's been more severe than ever. That on top of my mental stress regarding the property buy and move has been challenging. I'm not that old at just over 50, but I'm feeling so.

@*Beth*, I do have a bit of perfectionism about me, but not about everything and nothing in any severe way. With some stuff I'm quite laissez faire. For example, I can excuse myself looking a little unkempt in public or being overweight, and when packing I'm happy enough throwing some stuff in a box or closet, while Hubby perfects the arrangement. It's a matter of my personal priorities. I also easily let bygones be bygones...just move on and not dwell forever. Psychologically, that's helpful for me and a behavior I've mostly had throughout my life. I guess a personality trait. The perfectionism I do still have has even eased over the years.
