@Wildfire: I'm good, Tired as heck.
and my doggos think today is the Best day to continuously howl. Which is unusual. Currently on their 4th howl.
How are you?

@Another Movie Addict: Welcome back!
A disney trip sounds fun!

I'm disappearing to the store for a bit. <33
I might not be online again tonight.

@Wildfire: Hopefully your son is just in that beginning phase of adulthood. 'rebel against what you know' kind of thing.
I did something similar at 18. Got hitched quickly, dropped out of school, moved in with my new husband. [all these things were super frowned upon on both sides of my family]. Luckily my mom housed me when my husband had to deploy overseas. That's when my passive-self broke and I realized my mom really nurtured me to be passive and unbothered by anything. Once I broke my mold, she and I fought like cats and dogs.
Anyhow,
I don't imagine he'll be that crazy.
I'm mentally preparing for whatever my two kiddos will do to me in 12 years. =3="

Also, It's good that he crashed at your mom's. At least that's a safe place to be instead of someone's garage.. or couch or something.

@Wildfire: I've opted against talking to my mom when I'm needing to vent. I only call her now when good things are happening, which I think, annoys her.
When I vented about my husband's family or my kids, she always amplifies my problems back at me and it feels so much worse by the end of the talk.
I luckily have a couple of good friends that don't mind hearing about my problems occasionaly.
When my son was an infant, my mom kept trying to prepare me for 'the eventual news, that he has autism'. He doesn't. He was just a super particle baby/toddler. He's grown out of that and he acts like his dad now.
But boy, I was stressed, kept thinking my life was about to be turned upside down anytime I brought him to a check-up.

I'm one of those "wingin' it" food types of people. lol!
I am trying to get better at meal planning, but anytime I try, I burn out and then go 2 steps backward. I really dislike being in the kitchen. It was my mom's happy place and we always left her alone in the kitchen. There wasn't a whole lot of kitchen exposure for me growing up. [not a good excuse lol]

@Wildfire: I am the black sheep of my family. lol. Everyone else eats when they're stressed. Which is pretty much consistent all the time since my family doesn't know how to turn their stress down.
I feel an ounce of stress and I forget to eat. I am the most laid-back member of my family. XD
My mom lives off of stress, and I see she eats a lot because she burns so much energy. Then she complains she's fat, [which isn't true]. Then she turns around and tells me I'm lazy. Gosh, I'm so glad I'm an adult and don't live with her anymore. lol!

@Wildfire: A workout sounds amazing with a salad. /drooling/ I might need to do that as well soon. C:
I feel you in the recovery process of intense stress. I'm finally doing a bit better, health-wise. My weight went back up.
Generally, when I get super stressed, I lose about 5-10 pounds, which I can't afford. When I'm closer to the 10-pound mark, I become an emotional mess and lethargic. That's where I was last month. =3="
I'm on day 18 of my workout. C: It's helped a lot getting me back on track.
This week, dealing with the DMV stressed me out because I realized my paperwork isn't located in one spot anymore. It's all over the place. That started my organization spree.

@Wildfire: I am better today. I'm getting things organized which feels amazing. I can feel the stress oozing off my shoulders.
How are you today?

Good Morning.

AAHg.. My husband *shakes fist* He makes his own spicy concoction and it's a fine powder. He didn't wipe the counters down after making it yesterday.
I just made myself a peanut butter sandwich and the bread was spiiiicy.
My lips burn a bit, but you won't see me waste food.

@Wildfire: I need to get some green on my avi. lol. c:
At first, we needed to jump hoops, but it seems things aren't as complicated as we initially thought. Just need to do covid tests before the trip and that's pretty much it. Hawaii is attempting to re-open since its economy is hurting so badly. So our first plan was a 'bubble' hotel. but, it's not required anymore.
Are things getting better at your house?
I'm glad your workouts and meditation are helping. <3
I've been consistent this month with my workout and I've been feeling better too.

@Wildfire: I've been dealing with the DMV. lol. What a fun headache during a pandemic. XD
To even get my vehicles registered in my new state will take a minimum of 4-6 months. lol
Anyhow, I got an old friend coming to visit tomorrow for a few days. Then shortly after they leave, our spring break starts and my family and I will be gone for 2 weeks.

@Wildfire: I am doin' okay. Been rather busy, and it's only getting busier this month.
I need to clean the house today and I need to remember to eat.
How are you doing?

Good Morning.
