Feeling much better today. No acid reflux symptoms today. I have been able to eat and felt good afterwards.

I have to take morning thyroid medication and then wait 30 – 60 minutes before I can eat. For the next 14 days I have to take a pill for the acid reflux 30 minutes after I take my thyroid medication and then wait 30 minutes to eat. Geez!

I went to Emporia at noon for exercise. Luckily the exercises this week were mainly stretches and were easy. I almost didn’t go in but am glad I went. I’m still very tired. I am behind reporting my exercise time to KU. That is on my list to do tomorrow.

I slept the clock around last night. I woke up a couple of times but was able to go right back to sleep. I hope I can do that again tonight and then maybe by tomorrow I will feel rested.

I didn’t do anything while I was Emporia except exercise. I need to go to the Chiropractor but I didn’t make it to town soon enough to do that today. I got delayed with the road construction. My Chiropractor closes his office between 1:00 and 3:00 everyday so I couldn’t go after exercise. Friday I have exercise at 2:00 so I can go when I get done.

Nothing on my calendar for tomorrow so I will get a stay at home day. It is badly needed. I still haven’t fully unpacked my suitcase and put it away. I will get that taken care of tomorrow. I have some paperwork on my desk that needs some attention that I hope to get to.

When I was walking Sophia this morning, we walked downtown so I could pay the water bill. I had until tomorrow to get that taken care of.

Southwest Airlines removed the charges for that flight from my account. I haven’t heard from either United or Priceline about the refund for the return trip. I will give them a week or two before I start nagging them for the refund. I’m sure lots of people need refunds and they are beyond busy right now. I filed a claim with my travel insurance company but haven’t heard back from them either.

I went to a friend’s house for happy hour this afternoon. It was good to touch base with some friends and catch up with their comings and goings. I hope to become more intentional about staying in touch with some friends. I have lots of empty space to do that now.

Able to stay above the neutral level today. I feel myself moving slowly yet purposefully throughout the day. I didn’t get triggered today when something that used to trigger me before came up. I will take that as a good sign that something inside has shifted.

I will continue to offer myself grace and allow myself to get fully home. I have a mountaintop experience and it is going to take some time to integrate it into by beingness.

Grateful the acid reflux has quieted down, grateful for exercise class today, and grateful I have the luxury of going at a slow, quiet pace.
