Monday

I’ve been in my apartment for eight days now, not even leaving to go to the mailboxes down the hall except for today in the wee hours of the morning. The coughing is sounding better. I’ve been eating a raw clove of garlic each day for the last three days, chopped small in a tablespoon of honey. I like the taste.

It’s warm enough that the heat hasn’t been coming on, but it’s very windy out, so I don’t feel like I’m missing much. The area I live in has one of the oldest and largest geothermal systems in the world, and I feel more relaxed about keeping the temperature comfortable in my apartment.

Last night I had a nightmare, which is rare for me. I don’t put much effort in figuring out what dreams might mean, but this one had a threat of violence. I’m slightly surprised at how I turn and face things, instead of running or hiding.

Today I began the live trauma healing course for the fifth time. It’s run twice a year, and I can return as an alumni. No one finishes the 12 week course the first time. I’ve yet to make it past the fifth week, and it’s worth taking again.

I'm sorry you're feeling ill and am hoping you continue to feel better.

Thanks. I don't want to sound like a complainer, but I want to remember what I've done with my days.

Wishing your continued healing. Garlic and honey is lovely, like this gentle art X
