Daydreaming

Now I have laryngitis. At least it isn't strep throat--I guess.

I still feel bloated. I think I'm getting entirely too much salt. It's not a horrible bloat, just a kind of all over puffy feeling. I feel thick. Does that make sense?

I was thinking, isn't it funny that you think you might miss something, and turns out you don't really? And once it's gone, you don't even really think about it that much?

I'm still dreaming of being in Mexico. And trying to figure out how to make that possible. I spend a lot of time daydreaming now. Of course, it's been a long time since I had anything to look forward to. Mexico's bright colors and beauty stick in my mind. I was there once about five years ago, and I loved it. I wanted to move there then. And I thought about it for weeks afterward. Be sure to read Patrica Walker's blog Mexico Daily Living, which is listed in my blog roll. She's has some beautiful photos posted.

OK. So now I feel more like resting than writing.

Mexico's Calling

For some reason, I'm feeling queasy and not really very well. I also feel headachy and bloated. Blah, blah, blah. I'm tired of feeling crappy.

My diet has been going OK, but I am bloated. I don't know why.

I'm still day dreaming about another life. I want to figure out how to make my dreams come true.

The weather is still crappy and sloppy.

Mexico awaits me.

Winter's Mess Makes Me Want to go Sooner

The weather here is really bad and threatening to get worse. I hate winter. Slipping and sliding around is not my idea of a good time. I've never even thought I would enjoy skiing. Strapping a couple of waxed up boards to your feet and sliding down the side of a mountain--seriously? I wish I were in Mexico. I may try to figure out how to make a quick trip around April.

My mood remains spirited--despite not making it out of the house. I may try to take some photos of the mess outside later. The diet continues to go well. I'm going to try to slip in some exercise in a little while.

I'll try to write more later.

South of the Border, Down Mexico Way

Well, this weekend was certainly interesting, if nothing else. It started out bad, but got better. I now have a plan for my future. I'm going to live in Mexico. How am I going to do that? You ask. I'm going to work as a caretaker for rich people. All I have to do is live in their house and get paid for it. I can spend the remaining time doing freelance writing, maybe photography.

OK. This isn't something I can just pack up and go do tomorrow. I have several things to work out. My niece will live in my house here and take care of it. That's about all I have worked out for now. But hey, it's a start. I'm hoping to get most stuff figured out in the next year, and then it's, "adios."

I haven't been this happy or excited in a long time. I have nothing holding me here so there's no reason to stick around. And I don't want to spend my life being tortured doing some day-to-day unrewarding job. While I was married, I lived a routine life. After Al died, I kind of curled up and lived life in a fetal position. I can't do it anymore. Now, I need something more than a job I have to go to every morning. I'm 50. I still have 20 to 30 years left of this life. I don't want to be on my death bed saying, "I wish I had. . . ." Sometimes you've got to do your dreams.

I made it to the gym this morning. The diet is going OK. I feel good. It was actually easier than it's been in a couple of months to get up this morning. I felt more energized while I was working out. Having something to look forward to has done a strange thing to me.
