wow
So, I haven't completely lost my mind. However, the road to sanity is not exactly a direct route. Not that I'm insane or ever have been. Honduras not working out has played a few tricks on me and so I am dealing with that. I am also now dealing with getting a job that helps pay off my bills. ( flights, clothing, etc... all result of Honduras) I am thinking about a bank or liquor store or the post office. I need at least 12 bucks an hour or I will die. That will be part time unless i love it....so it will be part time.
Also working on some volunteer work with something that will either help me to decide what I'm doing with my life OR- just something I like. To be decided.
My room in my brother's house now actually has a set of drawers. I am going to move more clothing from storage and my parents' to my brother's so I feel less nomadic. I need to re-work my filing system and I might actually move most of my organizational tactics to my computer. gross, but perhaps necesarry.
So based on interest and not exactly skill I am thinking about pharmacy, physician assistant, physical therapy......all of which will require me to rewire my brain. However at this point I actually this will be less difficult than has been previously decided. It isn't that I can't do math I just don't think I have ever really been taught well. Also I don't think I was ready.
Totally different facet of my life: I decided that I ought to give acupuncture a whirl. Dan's mother is a chinese witch doctor, errr, uhm she has multiple degrees in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture and upon meeting her she diagnosed me as being spleen qi deficient. And me being hyper rational goes, riiighttttt (slowly back away tessa.... very slowly....) but I have been to many doctors and I tell them what is wrong with me and they just look at me. So eff you western medicine...there is a time and a place and I look upon you highly....but Chinese people are old and smart and have wooden swords. Anyway, I decided to look into it and hooked me up with an needle pusher here. He says that it is what I eat and how I manage my stress that is making me spleen qi deficient. He said I have a cold and damp manifestation. (Insert me trying not to roll my eyes)
But anyway, I am always cold. My hands and feet are like ice. I get colder when I eat. My blood pressure is lower than normal. I feel sick most of the time and I could sleep roughly 14 hours a day. He told me to keep a log of what I eat. I told him that I eat very well and I gave him an example. He said, those are all cold wet foods. ( mint tea for example, even though is hot, is cold...) So I figure I'll give this shot and if I feel better I won't readily roll my eyes.... and maybe eventually grow to "believe"
we shall see
enough ramblings I apologize for the lack of grammar.
