Travel Jitters ... as ALWAYS

Day before a trip -- it's as inevitable as taxes and death ... I get anxious.  I expect it.  I don't try to do anything about it (nothing works).  I'd probably freak out if it WASN'T there ... LOL.  Hello, my pain-in-the-butt nerves.

My girlfriend canceled on coffee today.  Her dog was injured in a dog fight and she needs to be home.  I'm disappointed and I understand and I'm kind of glad.  The last few days have been hectic and I could use a quiet day before a big social weekend.  Hubby is golfing.  Me and the dogs.  This weekend will be AWESOME, but I will be low on sleep and high on talking.  Some peace before the fun will feel good.

Tulip is already feeling better.  Meds work fast and she got fluids which perked her right up.  She slept through the night -- we both needed a good sleep.

Pete's Paleo came yesterday.  I must have misread the timing ... always set to arrive Thursday or Friday.  Anyway, it looks EXCELLENT.  I froze it and will give some reviews and pictures next week.  I'd try it today, but I have some food to finish up before I leave for the weekend.  Hubby will take a hard pass on my green beans and zucchini -- hah.

As far as eating this weekend ... I'm all set for a good, healthy time.  My girlfriend texted and we chatted before the trip.  She started a food plan 2 weeks ago and is having a dry month.  Neither matters to me in the sense, I'll eat/drink however I want.  What makes a difference is food will NOT be the centric point of this trip.  At first, for her, it was ... how decadent can we be ... and then I'd be scrambling to find something I wanted.  We are on the same page ... lots of movement, healthy food, great company, fun city and LIFE BETTER THAN FOOD.  (Not to say, I won't have some good food -- I simply won't overindulge or feel pressured to "join in.")

Today is a jeans test.  I won't fit into The Jeans by a long shot, but I need to fit into SOME jeans.  I haven't worn anything but sweatpants (joggers) for about 2 weeks.  Wish me luck.  Otherwise, dresses for the win.

I won't check in tomorrow. I have an early flight and dog duty before we head out -- they get up when I get up lately.  I'm excited to experience Austin, TX and I'll have a recap on Tuesday.  We're taking a street art tour on Sunday -- bet that's interesting.

Have a great weekend :)  Later gators.
