So Happy Friday the 13th. :grumpy: I tripped at my daughter's school and hurt my ankle. After a hospital visit I am now in a soft cast. ::facepalm: There's no "Happy" this 13th!!!!

Oh that is too bad. Hopefully it heals up soon! :)

Been raining hard for about 5 hours. It is squish outside.

Sympathy like, we had quite a few days of rain this week. This morning I woke up to frost and 34 degrees. Where is spring?!:arghh:;)

@Gabe1 , how do you break the news to Walter that you're going on vacation and he can't go? I had the discussion with Jack the other night, and he just looked at me with that sideways, huh? look, that all dogs get when they haven't a clue what in heck you're saying! :p (Hubby tells me that whenever I'm gone, Jack paces a lot, back and forth, and acts all lost in space . . . wish I was Dr. Doolittle and could talk to the animal, so that he'd actually understand that there was no crisis!!) ;)

Walt is very perceptive. He knows the warning signs. Suitcases and piles. Walt suffered through his people leaving him his whole life with my kids being in college, my DS even when Walt came to us. Suitcases make him sad, goodbye's make him sadder even if we are not all leaving him alone. Walt has never gone off to camp like all of my previous dogs had. Money was tighter while my kids were in college and the recession didn't help. Walt's best friend lives across the street, the only people Walt loves more is Grandma and my DS. He will let Walt out, Walk Walt, give Walt treats and even take him on field trips to his house when all of us gone. Last time we came home from Disney it was in the middle of the night due to bad weather. Walt was deep in dreamland. We had to wake him up and I got a look like what the heck until he finally his brain woke up. That's Walt.

Have a great trip, can't wait to hear your recap when you return.

Everyone's medical condition is different, but do you ever take even a baby aspirin at least 30 minutes prior to your flight? It's recommended to help avoid DVT. Along with aspirin, I've read that the best thing, especially for coach passengers (that would be me, too!), is to stay hydrated (water is the best to drink on a flight), and to get up a few times to stretch your legs.

Aside of the above, I agree with other members here who suggested extra leg room seats or business class (at least on most airlines, those two categories can make a big difference for some people--worth the extra cost).

P.S.: For my flight tomorrow morning, I bought a small bottle of baby aspirin the other day. It said cherry flavored on the package. So, I tried one and it was delicious! :hilarious:

I've read about using the baby aspirin too. And I love how you are rubbing it in for us..."on my flight tomorrow....";):) Seriously though, have a great trip, and I can't wait for you to report back about all your fun!

Here is kind of a random Disney thing.... On my trip to WDW in March I visited the Basin store because I wanted to get some of their Mickey soap as a stocking stuffer (yes I shop all year 'round for Christmas) for my sister. Anyway, they had Mickey bath bombs, suposedly the bomb would dissolve in the tub and release Mickey heads. So I was intrigued and I bought one for myself. So yesterday after work and my walk with the dog I decided to take a relaxing bath and try my bath bomb. The bomb smelled good and it was fun to see the Mickey heads come out of it. The Mickey's lasted quite awhile and it was fun to see them floating around in the tub as I relaxed and listened to my instrumental Disney music. So long story short if you or someone you know likes baths and Disney these bath bombs are a nice little splurge.

*No pictures of the bath bomb dissolving but this is from the store. I bought a pink one.IMG_5748.JPG

You bet, I've missed your time on here, but I understand, you have a very demanding schedule.

Thanks, Bet's! :)

Actually, probably no more demanding than most others schedules here. I put in my 40-ish hours at the firm every week, do those clothing store closers, take care of stuff around the house (yard work, cars, etc.) and still usually am able to get on here for a decent amount of time most days. Not to mention our fairly recent trips to the Texas coast, NOLA, WDW, Central Texas winery tours, etc. ;)
Life's good...!!! :joyfull: :)
