February Battle Field Report

Well, hells bells.!!!!!
February is halfway done, and so far......it is proceeding without a hitch.
You regular Blog Babes.... know about my usual February debacles.....sigh
Anyhoo
So far
No meltdowns, no spontaneous purchases (houses, furniture, cars) no trips,  and... no moving to new homes, states, or countries..
No one has been emotionally or physically damaged , as of yet.
Now....
It is only February 16th...so there IS  time for disaster,  but I am hopeful.
A hormonal surge will take place right on the cusp....so it is still a waiting game.

The mid month is proving to be a battle, but the war so far has been maintainable.

I cried the other day at the yarn shop....no biggie....and then I hugged someone ...lol....
Meltdown avoided.
Light boxes were mentioned.....

I got some Breath Savers in a gift bag yesterday.....so I automatically assumed that I have bad breath and someone was sending me a secret signal.   I almost went into a small place of anxiety and internal panic, but I did some deep breathing and had to go to a good place.

Last night, out of the blue,  there was a futile attempt, on my part, to emotionally take someone to a place of no return.  
The attempt failed ...and thank goodness ...no one was hurt.
Close call.
Monday, while I was getting my Volkswagen tuned up,  in Indy....I did glance over at a new model.
For a split second,  I thought of ...trading in...going upside down on a car , and ruining my life....
I hurried and did my cross word.
Mission complete.
I bought a cake the other day for the Valentines Party .....I ate five pieces yesterday....
No one else was hurt
Twinges of jealousy intermittently run through my veins, when I hear of the "other" grandma..

This February,,,,I have started drinking 5 glasses of water a day ...I think it is helping me. 
In the recent past,  I would go days without water.  I just drank coffee or tea. 
I hope my kidneys can move on and rejuvenate themselves.
Sorry Jayne's  body.
Maybe my brain has been dehydrated............gasp!!.....For years.......gasp!
Maybe water is the way to a utopic and joyful state.
Hmmmm....

Well, I am impressed and inspired. Maybe there is hope for me too. I think I have been suffering from Februscary myself. I have been in denial. I never experienced it in Florida. Yuck.

No offense meant by the mints, I just love them and thought you would too. Good call on the trading in of the car... that was close.
Mel V. I think it's the weather.
Debbie M. what gives...
I'm not sure I had been terribly affected by February before but this one has the potential to go down in history.
