Well I am a little late to this PTR, but I am here now and all caught up. I am glad you are feeling better. It stinks to get sick after vacation, but glad it wasn't during your trip
The wait for park hours is almost done so soon you will be planning again like crazy.
Yay!
So glad you're here! I'm VERY happy to be feeling better, I just wish I could kick this congestion! But like you said, I'm very grateful it happened right AFTER the vacation, not during. Can't wait for those December park hours, though!!!
Hooray on your halfway point. We started planning this upcoming trip 11 months out and I remember when we hit 5.5 months I was celebrating too!!! Non Disney people thought I was crazy, but who cares, it's WDW and it's been far to long!!!!!
Can't wait to hear your next plans!
Yessssss! I totally understand, and I'm glad you do too! Yeah, my trip is still 7 months away... but at least it's not 14 months away anymore, and that's AMAZING!
Yes I understand what you are saying. I feel the same way most of the time, but I think I'm starting to show signs of RA and so I know if I'm getting this at 35 I saw how quick it effected my mom when she was diagnosed in her 40's with it. I need to do something to try and slow down the wear and tear on my joints. It's something new for me. I need to make it over to the w.i.s.h boards to find some support and motivation.
Oh, I can totally relate to that. I was diagnosed at 14 years old with Systemic Lupus, and it brings with it widespread Rheumatoid Arthritis. I also have Fibromyalgia. So I'm no stranger to chronic pain. That's why I use an ECV in the parks, not because of my weight. And you're right, losing weight will definitely help in some ways (like in your hips or knees, if you have trouble there). I know I should lose weight to alleviate some of the stress on my joints, too. I guess I just need to find the right motivation, too!
So glad you are feeling better.
You and me both!
Don't answer if you dont' want to. but would losing weight help with your chronic pain?
Oh, sure it would. Like I said. I know SHOULD lose weight, for my health, and so I'll feel better. But I guess I'm just not miserable enough day to day to keep up with it. Every now and again something will happen, and I'll get a burst of motivation, but it only lasts a week or two, then I'm back to my usual happy comfortable lifestyle.
Don't laugh.. DO. NOT. LAUGH but i bought the Dr. Phil book 20/20 so far i kinda dig it.
I'm not familiar with it! I assume it's a generalized self-help book type of thing?
and dont' forget to add CM James to the mix of the planning..
Oh, James.
Not sure how I can PLAN for him, though! Other than just keeping my eyes peeled while I'm there!
I am also waiting on December park hours!
Maddening, isn't it?! JUST GIVE US THE HOURS, DISNEY!!!
Did you decide to go to the DisMeet at Universal Studios? I am considering it, if my sister will join me. Do you know if I'd need a Universal ticket, or is the party ticket alone enough? Is there a thread about it somewhere, lol?
I have no idea!
I would think that just a ticket for the party would be enough, since it's an afterhours party. Let me know if you find a thread talking about it here, though! I'd love to join in!
So I finally made it here...
Hooray! Hi, Lynn!
Whoo hoo for all the plans. And I can totally understand waiting on things!
Can't wait to read more!
You mean you can't wait to read more AFTER you get back from your SUPER AWESOME TRIP THAT IS ALMOST HERE, WOOOOO!!!
Any little milestone is a plus in my book!
I completely 110% agree, girl!
My DH told me today, we have 30 days till we're in the double digit dance...
He isn't going this trip, but he has fun counting down.
That's so cute that he's helping you countdown even though he's not going! Very sweet!
Lots coming up in the next month to keep us distracted. It feels real knowing that it's really happening!
Yaaaassss! Park Hours soon, and ADRs shortly after! Can't wait!
