New Days and New Routines - Let's Play Catch Up!

A few things to report on! 😀 Sorry, no LGBTQ+ Definitions today. Next time!💙

We went to see a dietitian recently, and they got us on a new routine of eating and working out that has been great - so I'm really hoping I can stick with it.

Hopefully exercising will help with all the other health issues I have going on also. We shall see...

I am such a lemon.

We went to San Diego a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING. We went to the zoo for two days, the safari park, and the aquarium! After going to the SD Zoo, the Bronx Zoo is kind of sad.

The hotel was cute, though - it had a delicious breakfast restaurant attached, and the weather was so nice. Slightly chilly, a bit rainy the first day - absolute perfection.

Now the holidays are coming, my parents are coming to visit (it will be my Mom's first time in Vegas to see us), and I'm actually pretty excited. Is it weird to say that I don't know how to feel about that?

I miss them, of course I do - how could I not? The distance has been great, I think, for all of us - but there are definitely days where I miss being able to just stop by and see them. I'm surprise my Mom hasn't gone crazy being retired and home most of the time with my Dad around more, but they seem to be doing pretty well. Which is nice. I remember... well, I remember when things were not so put together.

We got a lot of Christmas shopping done on Black Friday (yes, we went out) - and even had a friend visit for that Thanksgiving weekend from Arizona - so we had a nice "friendsgiving". It was honestly a really great weekend and I had so much fun - I haven't seen him in awhile and it was nice to catch up and get to hang out even if it was mostly just watching Disney movies and eating. Worth it.

We're also going to Florida for a family party this month, it's gonna be a LONG weekend considering we're taking a red-eye flight to get out there - but it should be a good time. I'm excited to get out of the house for a bit since I know the beginning of next year will likely be spent a lot inside.

Speaking of getting out of the house! I applied (and was invited to orientation night) to a local Search and Rescue team, so if all goes well I might start volunteering for that in the new year (I can't believe it's going to be 2020 - wow) which is pretty exciting. I've wanted to try Search and Rescue for awhile now, and I'm hoping it will be a good experience.

Lots of things happening, and I will try to get back on here soon with more LGBTQ+ definitions and analysis soon!

PS- I've been eating and drinking water more, so... the brain weasels have been quieter. I'm hoping that this workout routine of 5 days a week will help even more. Off to drink more water!
