Registering our car and playing Mahj

This morning we have to go to the Solivita Village area and register our cars.  The community is switching from a system that uses a transponder that is held up to a reader to a new system that will use a license plate recognition system similar to the toll booth systems.  We have been away or busy almost all of the days available to go up and register, so we must do it now.  This week, M-W-F from 9 to noon, are the final three possible chances.  Then we joked that if we fail to register our license plate and car then I guess we will be trapped forever inside Solivita because if we left we wouldn't be able to get back in.  LOL!

After that we are going to our Family Doctor office to sign papers to have our records moved to a new Family Doctor.  The old one is very close to us, which is why we picked it back in 2010 when we were up in MD.  The reality is that the office hasn't been that great.  There was a male doctor there for the first year that we didn't like at all, but he left and a woman doctor came in who we did like, so we just stayed out of inertia.  Then she left last summer.  We saw the temporary woman doctor for our appointments in October, and she was barely okay.  We didn't care because we had already made up our minds to move to a Family Doctor up in Kissimmee because she has received a lot of rave reviews from people we know.  Hopefully, they are right.

This afternoon I will play Mah Jongg with my neighbors, which I have not done in a month.  I'm looking forward to that.  Soon the new card will arrive, so this might be the last time I play with the 2017 card.

Yesterday the Winter Garden show, Destiny of Desire, was FABULOUS!  Every show at that theater is outstanding.  We have only one left for this season, but they had next season posted this time.  We have bought a 7 show season pass to Doctor Phillip's Center for next season, so we said we wouldn't buy the Garden Theater season. HAHA!  That thought lasted just until the moment that we saw the list of shows.  The final show of the season will be the live stage version of Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame!  It started in Germany and then went to San Diego and died.  It never really got off the ground.  Mark has been wishing we could have seen it.  As he said in the theater yesterday, he would have paid the price of the entire season for two people at the Garden Theater for just ONE ticket for Hunchback AND flown to San Diego to see it.  So....that made the season pass seem cheap.  LOL!  The other shows are Jesus Christ Superstar, Annie, Odd Couple (choice of male or female version so we want the female), Hunchback, and two unknown plays that seem like they will be very weird, one a comedy and one a Gothic drama.  Whatever....they will all be GREAT!  I'm very excited for another season of the Garden Theater.  Our last show is Into the Woods, which we have never seen live on stage and the reason we bought this year's season ticket plan!

I have not been paying attention to my diet at all.  This morning I was 287, which is about where I've been hanging around.  Nothing is official until Wednesday morning.  In theory I am eating all my meals today and tomorrow at home, so there should be a great opportunity to drop a bit before Wednesday.  As long as I don't over-snack at bedtime, I could have a good two days.  We shall see.  Binge-eating has been winning lately.  Sigh.  One thing I plan to talk to the new doctor about is if there are any new pills to curb appetite and stop cravings.  I have seen one advertised on TV, but I never remember it's name.  I also don't know if it has bad side effects or is too expensive or whatever. I'm not really a fan of wanting to take some drugs, but currently, I just can't seem to get control back for more than a day or two.  Well, a day or two is all I need this week to show a little loss by Wednesday.  Wish me luck!
