Walmart surprised us by slipping some goodies into our order, nothing of which would interest Tom, LOL. Most of the gummi candy I didn’t care for because they contained citrus flavors. I’m enjoying the passionfruit electrolyte drink mix now and at some point, I’ll have the peach tea. There was also some Alka-Seltzer for heartburn and some coupons. We rarely use coupons anymore, though, because we don’t shop in person.

I really do like this Merlot shampoo. After we get to Florida, I’ll probably stop using regular dye, cut it up to my shoulders and switch to this stuff.

Decided that the triple-head toothbrush isn’t the way to go after all. It just doesn’t give me the deep clean my faster single-headed one does. Also, the brush is child-size which fits my mouth better. I felt like the triple-head wasn’t getting the back teeth well enough and it was hard curving around toward the front teeth. I’d rather spend two minutes being thorough than one minute being half-assed. I also prefer a toothbrush that sits on a charger rather than one where I have to change batteries. So we ordered new toothbrush heads for my old one, though this triple-head one won’t go to waste. It’s perfect for cleaning my mouthguards.

Although everything is still up in the air and nothing is etched in stone, if this doll had a conscience she would be praying for that vaccine to come real soon because then she would get to live in Florida and delay being a sex slave until Aly could visit, LOL. I know it sounds silly and funny but seriously, if she had a conscious she’d be like, “OMG, hurry up, vaccine, so I don’t have to go to a freezing cold climate and be a sex slave!”

Although this is strictly a guess, if I had to guess right now at this very instant what I think is going to happen, I’d say we are going to go out of here by ground. I just don’t see a vaccine available to us by April or May. Things always take longer than expected.

I would be sure to take pictures of signs welcoming us to each state like Becky did when she moved from Connecticut to New Mexico. Yes, it would suck that we didn’t get to fly which I love, and a cross-country road trip would be totally exhausting on me, but I would love to meet my bestie sooner than later regardless of climate. And happily pawn the doll off on her, LOL. I’ve got the heads and wigs all packed in a plastic bin. She could have that, a couple of outfits, jewelry, and even the robe and blanket I plan to wrap her in for protection. Plus she has a special cream for removing old makeup.

If we go by ground, I’ll leave the vase of bamboo on the counter. I didn’t want to take that vase anyway. Originally, I was going to give the two small ones in lavender and apple green to Mrs. Twenties, but they can go with us.

Maybe we could even take the pigs. They could be divided in the cage and placed just inside the U-Haul. At first I thought the car would be best and that we would just crack windows but in the U-Haul, they would be shielded from the sun. Since it’s not like we’re going into the desert, they shouldn’t overheat. We would just have to bring food to them every so often. If they had to do without lettuce for the week to 10 days it took to get across, fine. As long as they have tomatoes. Lettuce wilts fast and carrots dry up, but tomatoes don’t need refrigeration. So if we put in lots of them, they would feed them for a while and serve as their moisture since they won’t drink water. Yes, they would be terrified but when are they not? They’re prey animals. They’re terrified of everything all the time. Although, Rockefeller has gotten very brave and friendly. We both can reach in and pat him without him running but he doesn’t like to be picked up. Blitz will run unless he’s being handed food.

But again, nothing is guaranteed or for certain at this point. Maybe we will be going out of here first class, I don’t know. I just know we’re done with flight paths! He found a site that shows every single plane and helicopter in real-time, so we know what areas to avoid when we move. After he calculated it, I was surprised to learn that they’re actually closer to 8000 feet rather than 2000 feet when they’re the closest to the house.

No Calms Forte nightmares. Just a weird dream where Doc O and I slowly got to know each other online, sharing pics and stories of our lives. One of the pictures was of one of her daughters at age 15.

The question for me today is, “What would your response be if the president threatened you directly?”

Assuming it was done in front of others if it was verbal or where others could read it if it was in print, my response would be, “Dare to threaten me in a room with just the two of us alone?”

Lucky enough to have energy two days in a row, we went out walking again this morning. I should have taken my hoodie, though, because it was chilly, so we were only out for 15 minutes.

He’s getting really good blood pressure readings lately since he’s been exercising a lot more and reducing his sodium intake. He’s hoping to eventually get his dosage lowered or to be able to stop the blood pressure medication altogether. That would certainly be easier on his liver. I’m proud of him for his consistency with the exercise. He’s hoping it will help him be more active for another 20 years or so.

I can’t plan specific days for certain exercises because my energy levels are hit or miss. I also can’t lose weight because of my thyroid so I’m limited as to what I can do and when, but I do my best whenever possible. I know that being 30 pounds overweight is worse than being 5-10 pounds overweight but at least I didn’t end up 50 or more pounds over and stuck there instead of where I’m at. Bad thyroid or not, I really am just a typical older person. I look a little heavy, yes, but healthy.

The bugle beads came yesterday and they’re beautiful. Not going to do any beading today, though, because I want to save that for when I’m on nights so I have more to distract my mind from going places I don’t want it going.

I got another set of nails yesterday. Two days ago I got that 7-set that’s really thin and just so-so. Yesterday I got a 10-set that’s a pretty good brand and fits well. These designs are nice but not the greatest. I actually put on a set of deep green glitter I’ve had for a while.

I have a single set I’m still waiting on. Purple and red roses on a pink background.

Twitter was having problems yesterday where some profiles couldn’t be fully accessed and sometimes not at all. That explains why I thought on two separate occasions that Aly deactivated.
