Dreamed | I slept last night | and I did.

Got a reasonable number of hours of good sleep last night. Thanx to the anti-stress supplements. They seem to be working tonight as well.

Made it to the chiropractor this morning. Felt good to get an adjustment, although he scared the crap out of me when a rib popped back in place. The adjustment lifted me off the table. But it did provide some relief, but I still had a rough morning.

Got into a major funk over the logistics of getting to and coming from treatments. I'm not feeling exceptionally focused or strong. When I started thinking about driving into town, I started feeling like it just isn't going to work. So I started obsessing about putting a burden on M&E should they have to drive me in three days a week. Started really feeling stressed. Talked with M&E about the situation and they started thinking through what they'd have to do to make such an option work. It's not simple--they have fixed obligations and lots of creative work that they do.

We left it as something to be discussed tomorrow. Then, we started discussing other options and I realized that I could take a bus into town if need be (would take extra time, but what do I have lots of?), get a neighbor to help share the driving load, look into senior citizen transportation options, etc. Lots of options!

Then we discovered that next Monday is a holiday! So M&E will be here that day! So that's taken care of... The stress level has really gone down. A good lesson on being flexible and keeping on the lookout for creative options. Anyway, right now I feel as good as I've felt since I've been here--thank the universe for good friends, creative minds, anti-stress supplements, lots of options, and the MLK holiday next week.

When you think you're out of options, think again! Always think again!
