Yikes I got so far behind. I cant do much in replies right now. I picked up my Daughter at the airport Saturday Night

There has been numerous changes in the Airport routing in Nashville. Steve came along thankfully... I drive and he tells me when to turn or whatever lol we make a great team.

Well My Daughter and I start yakking right away. We both have Bipolar but also we havent seen each other in person since December 2019! due to Covid and the 750 miles between us. Well Steve isnt capable to multitask like we can. So he was getting all nervous with us yak yak yakking. I have no problem leaving the Airport and getting back on correct interstate to get home.. so he said OKAY I am putting my ear plugs in .. hahahha Its a long standing joke/thing. Noone gets upset over it.

My Daughter has been sleeping 12+ hours a night and naps during the day but anytime awake we are just having an amazing time.. She has desperately needed to come up where its quiet, No traffic and people making noise like she deals with in her Apartment complex in Florida .. We had to go out yesterday. Tonight we are taking her to dinner. Her Birthday is in July but I decided we were going to celebrate this week since I wont see her in July.

We took my Puppy in to get fixed early early this morning.. I know he will be fine of course but I am a bundle of nerves. We go back to get him at 730 am. Its about 1.5 hour drive. After we dropped him off we went out for breakfast ! only the second time out dining since Covid started.. I cant even tell you how amazing it feels to not have to cook... I didnt even trust take out. But since we are both had our vaccines( our last shot over a month ago) and waited 3 weeks for it to take full effect. We are much more confident. We also have ditched the masks, Unless a store requires it, Of course we wear to Doctor appts or testing at the hospital.. My Anxiety wearing the masks really was so awful I numerous times had to leave the shopping carts and run to the restroom to vomit.

We are not planning to make a trip to Florida until September for Steves granddaughters Birthday. Amanda since our last trip in 2019 has gotten her own place ( prior she had he whole roommate deal) She has a small one bedroom but we can stay with her, Queen blow up in the living room will be just fine ! None of Steves boys have ever offered to let us stay ( oooooh long story and I get rage-y about it) Since we are now diabetic, We cant hit cheap drive thru's like we use to do for a week. Both on disability sure doesnt go far as many of you know. Anyway I will be able to cook meals. So that will be a big savings. This will allow us to board the Dogs so the stress of that will probably make the trip much easier on me, As may of you know the Florida trips usually knock me sideways.. Also boarding the dogs will make sure we are only gone a week instead of staying with friends for a week of more heading back North.

I just can't even put into words jusy how full my heart is having my daughter here !! Steve said to me today that I am just all smiles and glowing since she got here.. Finally I do not have that 24/7 constant Rage I have been dealing with since November when I had the TIA and had to stop all but 2 psych meds.. I do fear that it will return after she goes back to Florida, But for now I am going to just enjoy every moment I can.

Ok I need to get off here and head out for dinner..

Hugs and Love to anyone in need
