no posting for 3 weeks
The beginning of a new month and a full moon leading the way, amazing, truly amazing. I have just spent the last three hours watching the moon, knowing I have many things to do, but I found the sight so cathartic I remained fixated on the vibrant colors and the clouds that passed in between, in front of, above and under the spectacle of light that shine bright.
There is no question I am overly tired, mentally taxed and physically struggling on this day only I hope as Tuesday I leave for an extended r&r trip to Florida with the hope of taking a trip within my trip, realizing I did not see 'too much real estate' while living in Florida since the mid nineties.
Considering my last trip had to be postponed I am proceeding with caution, finding myself excited, but realistic in knowing my body demands more down time than it did upon my last visit to the 'sunshine state' in early October of 2006.
With medical clearance written in black and white I have mentally packed, trying to keep Ashley Marie calm as long as possible. I have purchased some trail mixes and chocolate (what is life without chocolate?), tried some of what I bought and nearly finished a few other items. So Monday morning it will be back to the store to replace that which I swore not to touch until cruising altitude, thinking I possibly had a flying dream that made me hungry. Knowing most likely it is the increased dosage of Marinol that has left me salivating more than once late at night and throughout the day.
I have decided NOT to take my computer so I will not be posting while I am away but hope to have plenty of stories and pictures to share upon my return on July 19th.
I ask for safe travels and wish them to all those who will be traveling across the street, across town or across the country this upcoming holiday week.
I have heard of the terrorist threats and refuse to watch the details and give those that are too coward to show their faces anymore energy than they continue to receive in this house and on television over and over, station to station.
The amount of medication being delivered to my destination and carried with me is enough to make me look more than once as it truly is mind boggling the steps that are being taken, per my request, to keep me alive as the multi-system breakdown continues to intensify as of Friday and the spoken opinion of two physicians within the last two weeks.
I pledge to keep the hope, knowing I continue to survive on a wing and a prayer, no pun intended as I sit here and write, laughing at past midnight wit...
