A little bit too much activity for my system. I always want to dive in and tackle stuff. Where have I been? Sleeping and running low grade fevers. It's what my immune system does when it cries Uncle.

I will be setting quite a few reminders for myself for this section. My alarms are getting crazy. I find the synchronicity to be beautiful and amazing. Home organization: reduce, let go, simpli…
Read moreOk, so I wanted to give a review of the things I tried last month and which ones helped and which ones didn't. First, the California poppy extract. I found the effects wore off with long term usage. I think this would be helpful to use during stressful periods or when your brain is too active and you can catch it in time.

Read moreWake up and call the endontics office because for whatever reason my appointment didn't get saved in google. Try to find clothes. I have 3 pairs of pants that fit at the moment because of weight gain. 1 pair is still in the dirty clothes, 1 pair is in the washer and the other pair are MIA in the laundry room.
