Memorial Day - In Real Time

I had acupuncture for the first time the Friday before Memorial Day. It was interesting. I was sick afterward - actually I'm still sick. Stomach pains. Neck stiffness. Fatigue. Frequent Urination. Digestive Issues. Poor sleep.

Despite the sickness, I walked (I usually walk a few miles a day). On Memorial Day Ingrid and I walked to the beach, where a bunch of friends were playing volleyball.

I sat and watched. I did not feel like talking. Illness consumes my mind. And I can sense that illness is as depressing for other (healthy) people to hear about as it is to experience. It makes it difficult to relate to other people. At least I have Ingrid...
