A little Disney Boo

I am so excited! We booked a mini vacation to Orlando for Halloween/Samhain weekend. That shit will be so much fun. We are going to Epcot for 1 day, during the food and wine festival. I am trying to figure out, since I don't eat a whole lot anymore, what foods I DO want to eat. They have all these little vendors dotted through the walk and so many interesting things to try! I know we gotta pace ourselves, and I feel like everything I want to really try is only in a couple sections. Maybe it's just a good excuse to walk the Showcase several times and just try to get it all in. I know there are some new rides there too, and with Jessie's baby being born at that point, knowing me - I'm going to want to shop for him too. So that day will definitely been full of walking.

We will spend a day in Downtown Disney, which honestly is always fun. I love going in the shops, eating at our favorite places and people watching. It is never boring or annoying. 

I love the fact we can get a direct flight, a quick uber and just be embraced in the mood so quickly.

I also bought the following, which will go up on the balcony 10/1, if not sooner.

   

The ghost is 5 feet and the colors can change :) The purple fairy lights, I only got 1 string (but it's 66 feet) but I think I can make it look good in that little space ! Neither item was expensive so if I need more lights I am down with that. I need to go through what fall/holiday stuff I brought back from storage and get that put up as well. And even though it gets windy, that ghost is going to look perfect.

Today's the first full day of fall, there is a chill and wind and I just want to breathe it all in and let it wake up my soul.

It seems I need some more coffee :D

Minor updates

 There is a lot I want to write about, but I'm not quite sure where to start!!

It was my love's birthday. So that is awesome ;)

My niece is due to have her baby in about 3 weeks. That's super exciting and I can't wait !!

Work - is work. Not sure what is interesting about it right now - just the normal frustrations and good stuff.

Medical - now this subject matter is more tedious than anything. 

WLS - Still losing, sorta. I'm in a stall (but honestly I'm stalled between 193 and 194, so that's an awesome place to stall at) and I will focus more next week and breaking the stall and getting losing again.

Medical Billing - good gods the medical billing can be frustrating. I literally paid my portion but for some reason 1 Dr's office is like - we see that payment amount but it says that I still owe so therefore you still owe. I'm not paying it twice fuckers. So I called my HSA card people and my Insurance people and hopefully all this new lovely documents will help them understand math better. Thankfully though, all my other ones have been good and nothing too outrageous.

Hysterectomy - this is coming up in December. I am excited to have this done. I am a wee bit stressed about the recovery. Mainly that it may take longer and I am trying to go back to work after 2 weeks. I took off 4 with my last surgery, and 2 surgeries in 1 year, it just seems like a lot. I am also trying to do more research into HRT because I am going to want the hormones. Instant menopause (is waaaay better than the typical 7-10 years of that shit) means that I'll want those hormones sooner rather than later. Peri sucked and I don't want that again and nor would I wish that on any woman.

I also think about the fact you should not have sex for 2-3 months, that recovery means months in general and I really hope it doesn't cause me to stall the whole time in my weight loss. It's a lot. But the long run is, with my genetics and whatnot, I will be healthier. And that is important. Focus on the goal!

So in a nut shell, life is good, nothing bad is going on and there are a lot of changes coming up.
