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!

Happy surgiversary. I'll be 11 years out on April Fools Day!

Enjoy the warm weather! We are having another cold spurt!

I love that little airport! I used to purposely fly into it when visiting my aunt in Greenwich. It was worth the Chicago layover not to have to deal with JFK, Laguardia or Newark!

Greeting all

quick iPad check in from the gallery. Not much rain yet. Nothing like the east coast which looks awful. Liz I hope your dd is safe

so not much going on here. I was able to get the fed tax return figured out in spite of conflicting numbers. I think I have made sense of them and know how to proceed. We will have a small loss which makes this tax nerd happy.

cc Claudia is a rock star in my book for getting on a ladder. Glad that stuff is done. I think I am 16 years out from Vsg. Still glad I did it in spite of regain. I am like you - weight swings are big.

safe travels dd. Long haul. Love how your dh seems so at home with Brazil family. Nice. Hope Atlanta is not impacted by eastern snow storm.
yum hums tonight. Not sure about scrabble tomorrow. Depends on whether we get a big storm.
two more hours here. I shall attempt some exercise snacks to go with my actual snacks.

Just talked to my DD and we rescheduled her flight to tomorrow. There was only 1 seat left on that flight. I was going to reimburse her for the cost difference but she contacted them and they are crediting her for the extra amount. That flight is the ONLY Westchester flight other than a Delta flight which hasn't yet been cancelled for today.
