Wishing you a blissful night of sleep DD! Great idea of suggesting the library to your Dad!

Talk about adding insult to injury! I had gone without a period for at least six months maybe more and had been very irregular for years! Shortly after I started dating DH I suddenly became quite regular! I guess new love awakened something! We hadn't been using protection because I didn't think getting pregnant was even a remote possibility. Can you imagine having a baby in your early 50's? Yikes!

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.
