I am prepping through out the day creating paper snowflakes to hang around the ship. There I feel like the world is filled with wonder and friends that do understand. A beautiful boat created by us here at DS . At first we started the cruises with DarkGypsy's glitter sub. It swung the oceans and the universe. Equipped well by Scotty with warp drive....and of course the magic...

Then Lily found a boat and of was instilled with magic that can create that peaceful place that we are told to find to promote relaxation and just to breath. If you want for anything or special comforts , you need only blink blink and Calypso provides it.
We play relax and share what makes us feel better...together.
There is also a van for on the road excursions The Violet Vanguard, parking is never a problem! And it is there with just a blink at our disposal, shopping the Magnificent mile or just a shoreline shell collecting day trip...use it as you wish.

...as many here know I have to do art.
I am surprised at the body of work that has come out of my time on Calypso, shared with you here, my friends.
hugs, read, play and enjoy our own place that we know.

If the work issues were not enough, I have so many health issues. It looks like I may have a heart problem. I'm scheduled to go in the operating room at the end of the month to determine once and for all if I have what is called a PFO-a small hole in the heart that you are born with that causes blood clots to pass through the left and right atria, and go up to the brain. They think this is what...

I had a great visit with sis, she is so much better today.
It has started to snow again here, plus some higher winds. Hunkering down, doing classes online. Boy do they make me sleepy!
Winter is rough on my memories, but the three years I was immersed made it so much better.

I so wish I could play music when I did these. I have to have my headphones on to stay at attention to the speakers lol. I like that one though!!!!
It's always been a struggle to teach while having flashbacks. You can't medicate yourself against the flashbacks and have the mental alertness needed to stand in front of a classroom of students and communicate quickly on your feet. So you have to pass up on medication like Seroquel for flashbacks, so you can be sharp.
That means, sure enough, that sometimes I'll be standing up in front of 25 people in a classroom and I'll be explaining something when--BAM--I get hit with a flashback all of a sudden. I've had to be good at taking a beat, walking to a chair, and sitting down to try to catch my breath and recover. It wears you down, as you can imagine.
I've done this for 38 years of teaching now. As I get older, my flashbacks get worse, not better. It's as if the filters for my flashbacks are wearing thin with age. It's getting trickier to be high functioning in front of groups of people. That's scary, because it's my livelihood that's at stake, not just in the present, but for my retirement in the future.

Sigh. It's always something, huh?

Last week the time was 4:30.
Neither is good when my brain finally shuts down around midnight, at least enough to sleep.
Headaches all day? yeah I'm used to a certain amount of that. I only take it as a strong warning when my eyes are effected.
Hugs all it's the end of the ice storm here.
Ice storm here, too, but there was a thaw in the afternoon, so fingers crossed about tomorrow having better weather.

I am sick again. Not happy. I have a horrid sore throat but I managed to get to my GYN today. Things are good. I am out of the woods so far.
Our snow has turned to rain now and it is a sloppy ugly mess out there. I feel like poo so I am going to crawl into something snuggly and nap for a bit.
I hope the snow moves quickly for you all.
