I head back to Texas today. The "Blessing or Curse" meditation is expanding to this very expensive venture we have been on. Feeling like it was a waste of money I don't have to spend. Didn't get to see what I came here to see. Spent half my time sick. The MIL/DIL waltz (travelling with the DIL and grandson) has not picked up any new steps I would be proud to show in public. In allot of ways, I feel like we have regressed, but not at all sure.
I am still physically ill. My personal policy is to draw no unnecessary conclusions while I am sick. Physical illness does not promote sound thinking. Physical illness does promote good meditation, though. Still chewing. Blessing or curse? Maybe life is always just a mixed bag.

Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
I'd say let it digest a while and then worry about what if anything is new or different.
LIfe is definitely a grab bag.
Supportive vibes and safe travel.

...I'm chronically sick. Pretty much like having a mild case of flu for 13 years, off and on.
...guaifenesin, plus pseudo ephedrine, plus a caffeine pill, plus an antihistamine salad and a full suite of asthma meds...they keep you going, but add a trippy buzz to things. Probably bad if your heart's not in great shape.
Prednisone if my lungs get too swollen...
I went to the UK to see Mr Crazypants with a small pharmacy in my bag ( is that an inhaler in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?).
...when sicker than usual, I also drink a lot of hot white tea with local honey, and thanks to Lilly, either lemon juice or vitamin C.
I gargle with hot salt water ( yuk ), I eat a lot of spicy food, I take zinc supplements ( 50 mg ).
But you probably know THAT drill, you're a mom.
...Hot and sour soup, if you have not had it, is great stuff.
I'm sorry the damn flu bug decided to join your expedition.
Arfie, when you are feeling a bit better I hope you will sit down and find some positives from your trip. Once you find some positives I think you will look at your trip differently. It is always nice to get away, even if it is just to realize how nice it is to come home.
be kind to yourself
