Too much...

The last few days have been tough. Saturday I came home from the trail work very tired. After inhaling my supper of chicken, peas, and corn, I suddenly was hit with cramping through my whole body. I had been drinking lots of liquids and milk. After a bath, I lay down and fell asleep. About 10pm I awakened but was so dizzy I couldn't get up. I was still thirsty but couldn't make it to the kitchen. SO I went back to sleep and hoped for the best. After that, I was dizzy and nauseated for 3 days. All my muscles are sore with the exception of my legs. My bowel routine is upset. And I am weak. Only today did i get back out to work on the trail again. Little by little, I am recovering.

I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.

Spock

By
Spock is my favorite character in all fiction. A character who bridged the gap between two worlds and faced disdain from each. Who strove for excellence and exemplified strength, character, intelligence, and control. His nearly emotionless demeanor was a perfect foil for those who would attempt to intimidate or insult him. It was a style I would endeavor to imitate to thwart those attempting to insult, demean, or scare me in my own young life. I bought this little figure to remind me to guard against letting my defenses down and allowing emotional hurt to strike me. But I doubt my recollection of Spock will work for me again. It was the last gift from my past. Perhaps I will find another reservoir of strength.
