2nd set of five years begins! Did my laundry--so much for marking the occasion. Spent a lot of today checking out what it felt like if my symptoms were just like they were today--how I would feel if everything stayed the same--if it got no better or no worse. I survived! What can I say?

I did sleep though, but even that can become part of my "day." Just go with the flow.

Was quiet here today until kids arrived. Then there was several noisy hours. Made me, again, think seriously about my living situation. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I want a separate place--no immediate neighbors, no sounds of others intruding in my zone. Quiet, peaceful, and in nature. I went for a walk today through a park. It was restful and restorative. I need more!

Dreamed last night of being part of a big production. It was a lively musical review with lots of singers and dancers. There was one group who came on stage really alive. They were doing a syncopated dance routine that was joyous. The dream lasted a long time with many different groups performing.

Notice for Jury Duty has triggered lots of thoughts about just being with the symptoms and seeing how I do. It's over a month away so I have time to mentally prep for doing it. Get me back into the real world--or as real as a courtroom can be.

Jury Duty and possibly moving--enough to deal with right now. Welcome to the 2nd five year period. It will be whatever it will be! It is what it is! So be it!
