working out for Disney

My husband says he wants to go back, maybe next year. I think I need to do something like spend a few days in LA and then fly on to Tokyo. Where are you staying in Orlando?

We are cashing in some Hilton points and staying at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista for 5 nights and then moving to a Disney hotel for a couple more nights. I think we will do an All-Star or maybe Pop Century. We aren't really resort people and spend most of our time in the parks so moderate or deluxe isn't really cost effective for us. I have been watching a couple DVC rentals but nothing has seemed like a good deal yet. The last time both my husband and I went to WDW together we stayed at this Hilton and then rented DVC at AKL: Kidani and that was a nice splurge but we made sure we built in resort time to use the amenities and enjoy the animals.

Hello-

I got back on track with my workouts yesterday, so I have been lifting weights and walking. It's been so beautiful here--probably the nicest days we've have since the fall. It was mid 60 yesterday and 70 today.

I...am not ok. I am feeling overwhelmed by everything. It is so much, all at once that is only done for the good of a few. It just doesn't stop. I am talking my husband down from a ledge every night. I am glad he is on this work trip. He is busy with work and he is 13 hours ahead. He is occupied with that. I am honestly not trying to be a downer. But this existential dread is there all the time. I feel like this is surreal and I am untethered from reality. I am probably not the only one who feels like this, so I take solace in that.

On the bright side, my husband's birthday was Sunday and he was out of town for it. So, I am going to bake a cake this weekend and we're planning on going out to eat. I am thinking of baking a chocolate Guinness cake-which are two of his favorite things in cake form.

I'm sorry that you are feeling overwhelmed. I hope that things improve for you, it sounds like you are being self aware and watching out for your well being. Feel free to share anything you need to either here or pm one of us if you need or want to.

On another note I'm intrigued by your cake. I got a mixed box of beer for Christmas and there were a lot of stouts in it and I'm not really a stout drinker, although a Guinness occasionally is good. Anyway, there was a birthday cake stout and a s'mores stout and I thought both of those might be good for baking a cake. Maybe I will give it whirl this weekend.
