Travel day. First since February 2020. ALMOST all packed -- last minute arranging to do after I get dressed this morning.
I'm feeling pretty chill about the "travel" part, but dropping the dogs is a little bit of heartbreak. Even dropping Polly yesterday -- she was upset and scared :( I know all will be fine though.
I'm focused on having a great time and getting to spend time with family I haven't seen in years. Lots of family crazy so that's entertaining too. Plus a wedding. Who doesn't like a wedding?? It's fun to see all the details and such -- bet they're all kinds of excited this week.
The week after the wedding will be a good one too. Nothing on my calendar (deliberately) until that Friday and Saturday. Isolating after a big event and some downtime before a week in Asheville. I'm watching the grand-dogs and hubby will be in VA, but that's easy-ish enough. Me and 5 dogs -- thank goodness for a fenced yard.
My energy is back into a normal range again -- not great, but manageable. Sleep, plant forward diet, low sugar (and no alcohol) seem to be the biggest help. I'm still having night sweats, but no hot flashes.
This will be the first wedding WITHOUT drinking for me. I had a couple of glasses of wine at my son's wedding. I'll be masked and I can't handle another energy issue on Sunday so best to stay away from it. I'm curious about the experience.
I'm trying this trip with a future-me perspective -- from what I wear, to what I eat, to how I think and feel. Treating it as a big experiment and a lot of practice toward changing what I need to be the person I want to be.
I'll be back on Monday for a check-in and pictures. Have a great weekend and stay well -- that's my goal too. Later gators.
