Ooooooh a crock pot full of yumminess!! My husband is anti bean other than my chili so i don’t often make it for just me ..

Sounds like a great plan for a nasty weather weekend !

Enjoy

Happy you had a good ride ! I’m glad your treatments are helping ECT is helpful for a lot of people.

I finished my favorite book series, again a couple days again. I went on Amazon and downloaded some free books last night ...I love indie writers and prefer to buy their books... I’m not a fan of giving money to big well known writers.

Well I am so mentally stuck in that book series I’m struggling to really get into another book.. I’ll just have to force myself to read one until I flip over to it. My favorite books in general are dystopian types.

I need to ask my T about B vitamins, my carpal tunnel is really awful but having surgery is impossible financially. But there is a specific combo of them that helped my T reduce pain for a few years, he did finally break down last year and had the surgery.

I again got a good nights sleep.. such a treat !

Hugs to all ~

They just kept raising admission prices /food prices .. I finally quit plus the thrill was gone after going a couple times a month for a few years year.

That’s awesome your mom is getting you that series !!!
She's staying at Fort Wilderness in their motorhome. So not as expensive I guess. They have annual passes too. They'll probably eat everything at the campsite. Its crazy to eat every meal at the parks- even people who pay for dining credits ahead of time dont need that much food! But they eat more to get their "money's worth".

Yes- i have the first half but not the second half. Maybe I'll be nice and give the first half to my ex. We discovered the show together when we were about 19.

Love dystopian novels and movies. But right now I'm into a Minnesota author. I was living in Texas where he wasn't a big name so hadn't read any of his books. Got 20 years to catch up on. He writes a lot about the reservation and Native Americans. Just finished book 3, 16 more to go.

Yea, sleep, sweet sleep! So happy for you!
That's interesting on the B vitamins. When you find out what the combo is, could you share?

@~Christina

So you got a good nights sleep!!!!!
yay! why do you think that is so?
I cheated and took 1mg of klonipin to sleep

and did not take the 2 kinds of melatonin nor the hydroxyzine.
1 pill verse 7 pills. But it is unethical to take the klonipin.....I have that stashed for emergency purposes stock piled from 2 years ago.

I only have so many left.

But I sleep so good on it (and I did for years!!!!!)!!!!!!!!! I wish pdoc would still let me take it again. I am really mad that she wont let me have it anymore. grrrr!

I was going to try getting CBD but they took the tinctures off the shelves at Sandras health food store due to labeling issues and I don;t trust the gas station sellers.
I just ordered anxiocalm it is supposed to be a good anti anxiety supplement. Don't know how long it will take to come in.

So we shall see.
I would really hate to have to spend hundreds of dollars to get klonipin over seas. I have to sleep.

My husband growing up his whole family would go every couple years to camp wilderness 40-50 years ago is was affordable for a week or 2.

Yes food costs are insane at any theme park. All 3 of Steve’s boys have yearly passes to Disney and Universal studio and the one with the granddaughter also has Seaworld. The these parks were very smart to offer a plan to pay monthly all year long ( I still think the prices are ridiculous)

My daughter did 2 years of Universal then did Busch Gardens for a year. She’s hasn’t done it again and plans to wait until the parks add newer attractions.

When she had her yearly pass to universal she bought me a ticket to universal. Omg they did amazing job on the “ Harry Potter” attraction it was amazing.. and yes I drank a ton of “ butter beer” but I had saved money to do so , also got my chocolate frog LOL

My husband and I had a camper for about 4 years and went to a campground up here.. was right on a big beautiful lake.. our dogs loved just jumping in the water when ever they wanted too. It was 39.00 a night, so at the time we could do it. I miss it but we sold our camper when we went to Florida, we took it to Florida camp sites that use to be right on the gulf had been 35-40 a night were now 100-150 a night. Crazy. I know lots of people can afford it tho.

Life just costs too much

Oh that’s so awesome!!!! I love finding a great author and knowing they have lots more to read !!

When I started my favorite book series it was free ... I fell in love and was thrilled there were 8 more books ready to go. He’s 3/4 way through book number 16.. he originally thought 3 maybe 4 book total but all his fans weren’t ready for him to stop.
