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.

119.8, yesterdays weight wasn't a new low but a tie for low weight.
I was able to get in water aerobics before church. I left just a hair early but probably didn't need to. Church was great and then we went out for breakfast. I had one of the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. It was a BLT one with avocado. The Hollandaise sauce was nice and lemony and the poached eggs nice and runny! Yum!
I'm loving the golf/tennis dresses I have been getting off of Amazon, just ordered one more for a total of 4 now. Liz, I think you would really like them with your active lifestyle! I'll post a pic of today's choice on TT!
Sunning by the pool and trying out my new water resistance equipment is the plan for this afternoon.
Hope you get a beach or pool day Liz. Is that something DS enjoys. We've enjoyed the air boat tours in the Everglades but I have not done that for many years! The weight gain you had is not a real gain, must be retaining water. I suspect a big drop tomorrow for you!
Sorry you are still having pain Peps. I stopped using aspirin and Ibuprofen after VSG per my surgeon's recommendations so I always have extra strength Tylenol on hand. Glad you are enjoying your crisp, sunny winter days!
