Head Matter:
Barbara McM. BATHURST, Appellant, v. William DeF. BATHURST, Appellee.
No. 80-1972.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Sept. 2, 1981.
Paula S. Gold of Baskin & Sears, Boca Raton, for appellant.
Maxine V. E. Reynolds of Reynolds & Reynolds, Boca Raton, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the trial court's combined award of lump sum and periodic rehabilitative alimony only because appellant/wife, who has a marketable skill, retains the ability to seek a continuation of rehabilitative alimony, or to seek conversion to permanent alimony, if she is later able to demonstrate an inability to become self-supporting.
DOWNEY, HERSEY and HURLEY, JJ., concur.
