I am here. I am alive. I made it another day. Each day is a blessing. Well, not each day. Some days are harder than hell. Some days are blissful as Christmas. The truth is that last night I realized how much happier I would be surrounded by family. The source of much of my woe is a lack of social connection. Family is a permanent friend. I am alone here in Austin. I have Gaby and she is great but there is only so much a single person can provide.
While on the phone with my family, I realized how much I missed them. I realized it may actually be worth it to drive so we can bring bear and really be together as a family, including the pup. More than this, we can pack more things that we need to bring that can cause stress with lack of. For example, comfy pillows, blankets, food and supplements, the dog, extra clothing, gifts, etc. I think it will be a great idea if my back can survive the ordeal. I also need to ensure Gaby and I stay in prime mental and physical health to navigate the challenges.
I think we should workout once every three days and make sure to close the activity ring each day. That is important. Along with this, we need to stay warm and humid and sleep good. Brining our own sleeping gear will help this and maybe we should bring a heater/humidifier combo as well. I think I should bring a supplement that assists with sleep as well.
