Ewwwe, Beth, that seriously bites. bleah. I'm sorry you're getting into it again, the demon must die!

Sal, the humidity is 200,000% here and even my head feels heavy. I don't typically have summer colds but I'm starting to wonder.

I am feeling so whipped again today, but yesterday was brutal and it was to be expected.

I have made a major decision and it is helping me feel a little more peaceful. I have decided to fly to the PacNW in October instead of drive it. This is a huge letdown in several ways, but I think it's the best decision. I think I'll still drive out to Yellowstone, but only that far. That will cut about 7500 miles and a couple weeks off the trip. I'm kind of sad because I know that I can do it, but for the first time in my life, I don't feel 100% confident and this is new & disturbing for me.

I have also been emotionally shipwrecked about seeing a particular friend who was going to visit me here in MI. Sadly, she can't do it because too much is going on, so I will go to her for a week in August. I want to fish with my friend again.

So you all will forgive me for having been completely immersed in my private hell while I seriously evaluate my priorities. Please!

Hoping to sleep better tonight!
