Mornin', Kids.
We got home last night and I'm whipped but it was a very good trip. The most remarkable thing, for me, is that I didn't gain. First time ever. In fact I lost but can't prove it. How do I know? After we got in and unpacked, we relaxed and I sipped some bourbon that ALWAYS causes me to retain water. Sure enough, I'm puffed up like a blowfish and the scale is the same as before I left, even in my puffed up state, so that means I lost something. Hey, that's solid reasoning in Blue's World. Don't give me that look.
*big sigh* I hate this for you, Lab. I know the helplessness you must be feeling and there is no easy way through it. What eases my mind is my faith. It really is the only thing we have in this world. Hugs to you.
Sherry, we CARE about you! If you can't unload here then what's the good of having this place. This is where we exchange ideas and support one another. If I were closer I'd meet you for coffee and we'd commiserate. Hey, it's for medicinal purposes! Sharing helps make room for healing.
We really did have a good trip. I did so many things and saw so many good friends and family. I haven't seen some of those friends in decades and some made a big effort to come out and meet us for dinner. Two dozen of my high school friends gathered for dinner just because we were in town, many of whom had to drive some distance to do so. I felt special! Jim's family gathered for his aunt's 80th birthday party and all of his scattered siblings were there as were their kids. Jim saw lots of his cousins, some of whom he hasn't seen in decades. It was a great catching up trip.
We saw so many things and I walked my car-ridden flat behind everywhere. I guess that's why I had good results in the scale department. This truly was a memorable trip.
I love you all and care about you just as much. If you need to unload, we're here for you.
Have a great Tuesday. I'll be back at work tomorrow. Today is a day to regroup for me.
Later 'gators.
