I began smelling car exhaust all around me...even in my house! I looked it up, and found out it was a B6 vitamin deficiency. I have to take the vitamin every day, but the smell is gone!

Thanks so much for this knowledge. I worried about a brain tumor since odd smells can be a sytmptom. But I had a cat scan 2 years ago when I had my accident and it was not a tumor. So I will try some B6 :)

Over a year and a half ago I made a promise to myself that I would start travelling... even if it meant going alone. In 2015 I climbed Mt. Washington, and in 2016 I took two vacations and hiked through Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon, by myself. I absolutely loved it. I met so many amazing people, hiked through areas most don't know about because of the fantastic people I met, and learned that I really do enjoy being alone. I had absolutely no fear or trepidation.

What's on my mind now is New Zealand. I have decided that I am going to go there for 2 weeks in January, 2018 (great weather then) with just a backpack and a list of places I want to see. I plan on not tying myself down with hotel reservations and just keeping a list of hostels and hotels in the areas I want to visit. I want to be free to go wherever, whenever. I am so excited to do this.

Now to figure out where I would like to go this year. :)

EEEEKK!!

Got up this morning yawning and completely exhausted from the long drive yesterday and discovered I'm out of my favorite coffee creamer. And I really don't want to go to work! And it's cold!
BUT
BUT
BBUUTT...
I'm all sparkly and glittery with happy feelings and plans and all manner of bouncy things in my head and I just want this day to go fast so I can get home and start working down my list.
WEEE!

"..... all manner of bouncy things in my head"

:)

nothing profound
 

My phone has finally accepted my excessive use of the F word...

When I first got my phone, it substituted "duck" a lot.

This morning I was messaging my mom about trump and actually misspelled fucking..and my phone gave me the correct spelling.

My phone accepts me.:praying:

A lot actually. My brother is dying in less than a year, some friends of mine lost their house in fire, and then, just a bunch of stuff. It's not very good in my head

I'm on a conference all and am currently wondering what would happen if I just started shrieking "OMG!! I WANT CAAAAAKKKEEEEEE!!!"

Payday next week. Lol. I need to get my truck up to code before I get any tickets.

On my mind
 

I really like working out! I am so happy when I work out.

:fastcycling:

Did you test it out? Please tell me you did?

My back is starting to hurt again, like it did before

My mind is a bottomless chasm..

I hope I can think my way to sleep at some point

Chinese New Year
 

The year of the rooster.

I can't decide what to do today. Options are:

Go to the lesbian bowling meetup that I planned on.
Go to the postcard writing party that's about 1 1/2 hour drive from here.
Go to the vigil at the airport that's a half hour from me.

I want to do it all and obviously I can't. I do spend 40-50 hours a week working solidly in social justice (Hands on direct care for women in need of safe space- including refugees) and am spending Monday lobbying. So I shouldn't feel too guilty if I take today off from political activism and just go bowl, right?

Nah, decided I'm going postcarding. Now to pillage my house for supplies and get on the road.

My family right now, my uncle passed away late last night, he was only 78.
