TWO WEEKS!!!!

Thought I'd toss in a mini-update. Not a whole lot going on, but getting more excited every day! I'm actually really having to slow down and make myself savor this pre-trip anticipation; work has been VERY busy this month (I've been doing 6 days/week) and I'm just wiped by the time I get home. I was hopeful that I'd start running again after the stent came out, and while I'm feeling great in that regard, I just don't have the energy for it. I'm on my feet and moving all day at work, so it's not like I'm getting zero exercise, but I'll tell you, the running will have to wait until after vaca! Our foliage is stunning right now, so I may try to get in some after-work walking.


So, I guess I should 'fess up and let you know about a change I made recently, and also will, at this time, refer you back to the title of this PTR. Because it was, by any account, a "stupid pill" moment. Well, it'll seem that way, but it wasn't to me. Anyway, I decided to cancel our dinner ADR at 'Ohana......



The reason being, it's pricey ($40/person), and the only one of us who is going to eat very much is Buzz. I have a teeny appetite, and believe it or not the boys aren't ravenous eaters (wait.....they're teen boys....isn't that contradictory?!). By the time we're done there I've dropped almost $200, and I just cannot justify that expense, no matter how good the food. And I think we can all agree, anything about our trips that causes us stress, is best knocked off the itinerary. So I canceled and haven't felt badly about it for even one moment. I'm still trying daily for Afternoon Tea, but not holding my breath, especially since there's really only one day that I'd want to do it. But, in the end, there are PLENTY of places to eat at WDW, and we'll have a great time regardless!

I did my final shopping this weekend for the non-food items I needed to pick up. Got a box of these:


These are great to keep in my bag, or even a pocket if I'm traveling light. I like to use them before eating; I'm not one of these germophobe people, but when your hands have been holding bars and railings that a thousand other people have been holding, well...... Ew. They're also great for a quick clean-up after a particularly sticky or greasy snack.

And!....I got myself some new shades. I love my current pair but have had them almost two years and wear them almost daily, so I thought a new vacation pair was in order.


Notice the $3.00 price tag..... Brand new, from Goodwill. Yeah, baby.

Now that's not a Stupid Pill moment!
