In all my visits to Florida I've never done an airboat tour. I will put it on the list.

We picked daughter up at 2pm, and came home. BFF stopped by with pizza. I am sitting in the family room with DD and DH, watching Golden Globes, and enjoying a fire. I've got a load of wash going, and once it's in the drier, I might start getting ready for bed. I am so tired. I guess all my Dad's talking is distracting to me too, because when I lay down to sleep I begin worrying. Last night I fell asleep sometime after 4am and woke up at 9:30. I am so tired. Hoping I'll sleep better tonight at home. We will go back tomorrow, and stay until Wednesday evening.

I am going to suggest to my Dad that after his walk, he should go to the library to read the paper. (He no longer subscribes because it has become pretty expensive). He would at least see some people every day.

Pooping after major painkillers is intimidating and painful. When people talk about opioid addictions, I think the pooping issues would stop me from abusing these drugs.

Oh my gosh CC, this is just going on way too long! And sorry TOM is not over for good yet. A hysterectomy sealed the deal for me at 42, and I never looked back. Hoping it is all behind you soon.

The fun thing about eating out, besides getting to try new delicious things you did not have to plan and cook, is LEFTOVERS!

Still snotty and coughing! It's the illness that keeps on giving! And total TMI (sorry Peps), but my TOM came after 133 days and reset my one year menopause clock. Insult to injury! As if I wasn't exhausted enough already...

My house is a disaster, but I got all the soft ornaments off the tree and boxed. Now onto the breakables.

It's dry and windy and cool today. Not a cloud in sight.

That's my world in a nutshell. Hope you all are faring better!

Oh, I take ibuprofen. It's my go to for headaches. Acetaminophen won't touch my headaches for some reason. And of course, it's not an anti inflammatory, so in my book, it's a bit of a why bother... The reason the plastic surgeon doesn't want me taking it, if at all possible, is because there is a higher likelihood of bruising when taking ibuprofen after surgery. So far bruising seems minimal, if at all. Right now the swelling is what is noticeable and cartoon like!

Awww... I have been having a lot of puppy pics popping up on Facebook lately. I have had 2 Thanksgiving litters and 2 December litters. So fun to see those memories!

I had IPL laser - really just removes age spots.

Greetings all

Another sunny day and even my Apple watch concurs. We often get a couple of sunny weeks in January without much rain. It appears calm but there are wave warnings. No need to warn me.

So DD has me thinking about grief and my experiences as an estate and probate lawyer. I learned that people grieve in very different ways. Some busy themselves with financial and paper work details and want to rush the process to the point of seeming crass. Others curl up in a ball and can't answer the phone or open a letter. Still others become very angry at every little thing and want to fight and argue. Some get hyperactive. Conclusion is that there is no right or wrong way and one should not pass judgement on those whose grief style is confusing. It is probably good for DD's dad to get out and walk and to find puttering activities. But DD you will have no difficulty in finding plenty to do over the next week or two. Sending strength.

Pizza for breakfast today. My fave.

Manatees Liz! So love those creatures. And alligators, not so much but the boat ride sounds fun.

Peps don't be a hero on the pain pills. Dr. Cirangle told me ibuprofen was ok to take as long as I took it with a bit of food. Still I use it sparingly. Glad you also have a sunny winter day which is mood enhancing.

Paula cute dress. That could well be the Florida uniform. Yes you need to catch up on sunning.

CC hoping the sinuses are calming down.

There is a sort of new little inn here called the Humboldt Bay Social Club. Looks like they have small plates and such so I will make a point to try it out. It is way out on this peninsula on the far side of the bay so kind of out there but I bet it has a great view. Maybe su****oo. I am making a sort of new years resolution to eat out more as I am sick of cooking and for a rural area we really have a lot of interesting restaurants.

Yikes learned I have gallery duty tomorrow. Go thing I am not oversheculed. today will be gym and studio.
