And here I sit, again in the office, taking a quick break from numbers (you know how much I love numbers) to get my November 4th entry out.
Over the last couple of days I’ve been looking back at some of my old entries to see how times have changed. First of all, it’s great to do an entry a day in November because I always know I can come back and see what I was doing on that very same date for the last several years. I also still have my old OD entries I can look back on. Sometimes it’s cool to look back and remember. Sometimes it’s funny because I find myself feeling a lot of the same feelings and doing a lot of the same things…
You know that during this time of year I’m normally traveling (China or other places on business or quick long weekend trips with friends) or planning some travel (a trip to NYC to meet The Scot for New Year’s Eve; the Argentina trip with [Elaine Benes]).
This year I don’t have exotic plans. Just like last year, ha. Last year doesn’t really count because it was kind of a non-year (Covid) and this year has been The Year of The C.
I just hope and pray that I can have a good, healthy, productive year next year.
I’ve already got some plans in mind. I’ve shared with you some of my Aurora Borealis thoughts. And maybe I’ll try to plan someplace warm during the year as well - loved going to S. America when it was winter here in the USA.
I’m happy that I can turn my thoughts to future plans. Even though I have to check in with my Oncologist and PCP every three months, I’m kind of banking on staying healthy. I NEED some health stability in my life!
And by the way, I haven’t had a chance yet to tell you about my little birthday getaway, have !?
Yes, I had another birthday a couple weeks ago. I’m happy to be alive to see yet another year. Did you know I’m 54 now? Isn’t that just CRAZY to think about?
But anyway, yes, I took a little solo road trip.
I went to sit in the healing waters of Hot Springs and wash away all of the yuck from the last few years. It was a good, quiet time. Short, sweet, and relaxing.
Unlike the solo trips of yore, I didn’t stay up late drinking and carousing with strangers. In fact, I’d packed a couple of bottles of champagne to toast myself and I couldn’t even finish ONE!
I’m fine with all that. I’m just glad I could take two days off work to enjoy just being.
But I’m not off now. I gotta run. I’ll come back when I have some time to tell you about the healing baths.
See you tomorrow!
