I'm so glad y'all made it to the plane and you're in true recovery mode.

Welcome to Florida! It is 10:30 now and the sun is out here so hopefully it is for you too!

Quick post to let you know, yes, we are breathing the humid air, and loving it! It was snowing when we left Minneapolis, which delayed our flight by 2 hours. We got to our room at 1am. It's overcast right now, with peeks of blue sky. Optimistic the clouds will burn off, or at least partially. We're going to make a quick Publix run, then pool. Only other plans are a dinner reservation at 6:30pm.

They might be. Not officially diagnosed. For sure they have depression and anxiety and strive for perfection!

Happy Birthday to Peps! And hoping that DD will be poolside with her Mai Tai by mid-day (after a restful sleep)!

Yesterday the beach club visit got cut short as it was pouring at the beach though dry at the house. Apparently the intracoastal was the cutoff. VERY humid day, so hopefully the rain that did make it here last night will reduce that for today. Our Valentine's Dinner was quite nice and very not crowded LOL.

Today the friends who stayed with us over New Years on the way to the Keys are stopping in their way back north. So some light cleaning is on the agenda this morning in addition to water aerobics. We may rent with them for 2 weeks next year.

I was up at 5:30 am this morning after being awake for an hour, so still have more than another hour until Justice walking time. I do like this time of the day but it sure makes it difficult to stay awake very late. Have a Salty Saturday!

I also have difficulty distinguishing between types of hunger other than when I'm not hungry one minute but suddenly feel like I am when I see or smell a particularly appealing food.

Yes the Pooh/Piglet valentine seemed particularly appropriate to post. I feel like we all rely on each other here when we are having "Not Very Okay At All" days.

Congratulations to Buster and you!

Pink roses! Lovely!

Isn't it funny that we "see" temperature changes.

So sorry for DC1's struggles. Definitely tough to be a parent.

Liz, I LOVED the Pooh and Piglet post! What a perfect Valentine piece. Thank you for sharing that.

At a dog show today. Buster won me a beautiful red apron from Royal Canin for Best of Breed and $50 for winning the Owner Handled terrier group! The dog did me right for Valentines Day. Let's see what he can muster for my b'day tomorrow.

Shot day yesterday. 45 units of the old stuff, 30 of the new. I sure like the old pharmacy. I got an extra 110 units!!! I will sure miss the "leftovers". I don't notice any difference with the new med, so that's good - meaning no side effects from the change. I am trying very hard to notice the difference between real hunger, boredom hunger, emotional hunger, etc... It's still not that easy for me.

DD, enjoy Florida! You should be there by now, since it's 9:00 PM here in CA. Hope you can truly enjoy your vacation.

Not much else...

Sounds like DC1 struggles with perfectionism and severe anxiety. Not a great combination. Is DC1 also on the spectrum? Their behavior patterns sound similar to spectrum kids, teens and young adults I have worked with over my career.
