Still cold here (35), but nothing like in the Northeast. Essentially all of Cape Cod is out of power and it may be days until it is restored. Travel is banned there and in 4 other coastal counties. It may be worse than the Blizzard of 78 which I experienced when there was a travel ban and no power for 5 days. My SIL and other friends are hunkered down there, mostly keeping warm by gas fireplaces. No cooking so lots of peanut butter sandwiches. I wish SIL had gone to her son's home the day before the storm but she is too independent and stubborn sometimes.

Speaking of time since VSG yesterday, I received a survey from my bariatric surgeon's office asking questions about how happy I am with my health, etc. Well constructed survey asking meaningful questions and not overly long. I was happy to respond to it.

DD should be arriving around 7:30 tonight. It looks like Westchester Airport is open again. Though they did get a lot of snow in her area it wasn't nearly as bad as some other coastal areas in the Northeast. And she never lost power. All other Northeast family seems to be doing well and with power (other than SIL).

Time to get my down jacket, earmuffs and gloves on for our morning walk. I have someone coming to measure for new blinds in my master bedroom this morning.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

I have those crabby days sometimes too. Might have come from those weird dreams the prior night. Both were doozies!

She flies to our even tinier airport 10 minutes from our home from there.

Personally I'm glad to not have the extra stomach capacity! My surgeon joked it was HUGE. :-\

Groomed BFF's two dogs this morning. Then had lunch.

DD... I know that you're already at the airport, if not airborne by now. So sorry you have to say goodbye to Brazil and your South American family.

I had weird dreams again. One was about cars repair gone amuck and having to use it as a trade in for a new car because the dealership owner's son had used my car for personal purposes, so instead of getting it back the insurance company "totaled" the car and was forcing the dealership to use it as a trade in for a new car for me. It made no sense and I was irked. On top of that, I dreamt that my brother and I had traded "hair transplants" and I was missing my own hair because my scalp had been placed on his head and visa versa. I did not like that he had my fuller and wavier hair and I had his thin straight hair. I was pretty sure that we could not switch our scalps back, but he didn't want to anyway. So what do these odd dreams tell y'all about my f'd up psyche?

My VSG was 14 years ago this past December. I don't think I have any regrets. At some points during the past 14 years, yes, I have had regrets, but overall I am thankful that VSG brought awareness of my eating disorder and brought about the work I've put into living with it in a much more successful way. I wonder: If Tirzepatide had been around 14 years ago, would I have needed to have WLS?

I am on edge today. Not sure why, but I am. Therefore, things that I generally would deal with more positivity, are causing me irritation. Example: Ron told me he had returned cable equipment. Turns out he had not and the cable company is billing for it. BFF mentioned something about the number of dog crates I have stored in different locations and that got me het up over all the crap in the garage, Grizz chewed a hole in his fur and he's entered in a show this weekend, so I was "mad" at him when I caught him chewing himself again today. All not normal reactions for me to those situations. I know Ron's lack of follow through, I know BFF likes to tease me about my clutter, Grizz is just a dog who was scratching an itch... Sigh...

But I'm under 200, so that's a plus!

So, from my Moody Monday I wish you well!
