That's awesome! Visiting the Holy Lands is a bucket list item for me!

Samoas are my fav but I like the thin mint too!

You are so right, as a kid I thought it was normal and as an adult I just accepted it as it was what is was.

Great news about your DD! And also that you are able to find something that inspires you to work on for the kids.

Golf courses are beautiful which is why I would like to walk one vs using a cart, but they have to fix the timing to make it feasible because I would hate to feel that I was holding someone else up.

I kinda love it when I come across a treat I don't like. DH found the absolute worst peanut butter cookies (maybe they were also gluten free, they tasted like rotted sawdust) . How refreshing to take a bite and actually spit it out, and not spend the rest of the evening wanting to eat more. A strange kind of freedom :)

Absolutely agree with tossing food. Eating something unpalatable or not good for me doesn't benefit anyone or anything.

So I think I might like to just ride around in the golf cart and not actually try to hit any balls. Golf courses are so pretty! And I always assume any body of fresh water in Florida has gators. One time we kayaked in a river and saw several. Another time we kayaked in a mangrove area. They told us it would be very unusual to see gators there because the water is brackish (not entirely sal****er, but not fresh either).

Today I submitted the official form notifying the district of my retirement date. They will start posting jobs and interviewing in March and I wanted my team to have the best opportunity to fill my position with a good candidate. It's getting real!

It was fun to see the kids today, and I am working on a new lesson plan for teaching vocabulary I am excited about, so that was rewarding. But I am tired. I'm short of breath going up the big staircases between floors.

We had a great conversation with DD the other night. She told us her insurance now covers Zepbound, and her monthly copay is only $25 vs. what she was paying at a compound pharmacy. She also said she's lost 62 pounds since she started the end of May. She wants to lose 18 more. Best of all, it continues to reduce her endometriosis symptoms significantly. She sees herself taking this medication forever. That is really life changing. I am so happy.

Other than enjoying a Samoa for the caramel and nostalgia, GS cookies are actually pretty terrible tasting as far as cookies go!
