newnormal's Journal, 05 February 2016

I went out to eat last night and had good choices. Fried grouper sandwich minus 95% of the bun (I picked at a piece) and a house salad instead of fries. No cocktail or wine, just water with lemon. Food was good, the 2nd date was meh. More and more of not a match as we went for me so I let him know (nicely). Oh well. Meeting people.

It's back to cold (44 this morning here in Orlando) for the next few days, will only get into the high 50s, low 60s. My son should be happy for the respite from the warm we've had the past couple days (he's just back from Colorado's winter) but I'll be glad for moving more into February where we get more moderate temps during the winter typically. I'll have to find a long sleeve shirt today and maybe a hoody to keep comfy.

Today will be a fast day to let my system balance out. Tomorrow is granddaughter's 3rd birthday party and I'm hoping there will be good options for me. I'll break the fast after my bloodwork tomorrow with an omelette or something with "heft" to keep me from succumbing to any poor options at the party.

Has anyone ever seen Brene Brown on Tedtalks (ted.com) or read her books? She's a researcher and author and her words hit me hard when I watched it. This is her talk on vulnerability. She also has one on shame. She's phenomenal. I just got her book Daring Greatly and can't wait to read it.

If you check it out, I'd love to hear your take on it. Stay warm, safe and moving my friends...

Have a great day buddies...

Thanks Sugar! She's had a good week already, they took her to Disney Monday and she everywhere she went it was like her own special birthday party. Got to meet Belle and Tinkerbelle and some others. She had a blast.
