Change of Latitude
06.07.04 (6:16 pm)   [edit]
I've been feeling really beat-up lately - physically and emotionally and just by life in general lately. One thing that drives me NUTS is people that bitch and moan about stuff but never take action. Well, for the past couple of days, I've felt paralyzed by all the crap influencing my life.

I can't do much about the health stuff - I'm just going to dr. after dr., eating right, working out, staying out of the sun, not overexerting myself, blah blah blah.

But I'm a believer in mind-body connection. And my mind ain't helping things lately. Usually, when I feel stressed out or burnt out, I grab my fins and head to a warm sunny diving destination. But, I don't think physically I'm up to it.

So, I'm thinking a change of latitude would still be good for my attitude. I have a dr's appt next week - I think I'll see what he says the next steps are and start planning some sort of getaway.

I don't really know anyone around me that's up for a getaway - most of my social circle is married/kids/job/life - so they don't normally have the flexibility to ditch everything.

I've traveled alone several times before - either I wanted to be left totally alone and bury my nose in a book/journal/behind a camera. Othertimes, I met a lot of fun and interesting folks and had a blast that way as well. But, traveling alone can be expensive - they just LOVE to hit you with the 'single supplement'. ARRRGH

I'm thinking a cruise. Or maybe just get a condo somewhere warm and sunny. Stay tuned.

You should go for it. Jenn and I are planning a road trip down to Austin when Cyber ever makes it to Texas! Your more than welcome to come too!! That would be a blast!

If Cyber ever makes it to the states, I expect him all to myself.

Kidding!!!

I think this is a fabulous idea.

I can hear the sounds of the ocean now...wow...I really am beach deprived up here. I grew up near a coast so this is a big change for me.

Go for it girlfriend! You deserve some R&R LT. You've had a rough couple of months... Spoil yourself! Let us know what you decide.

I've got a couple of coupons for a couple hundred off a cruise from Royal Carribean if you want them. Ships scare me so I'll never use them.

I have a huge conch shell I got from a dive in Jamaica - you can hear the ocean when you put your ear to it. I can hold it up to my monitor if you'd like?

Thanks - I book my cruises thru discounters that don't take coupons. Usually a lot cheaper that way.

Too good? Nah - I'm just a bargain hunter. I got an 8 day trip to LeMeridien Cancun including air for 2 people for $535 total. ;)

I think a vacation would do you good. Just a chance to recharge. I think a cruise would be just the thing.... wish I could go.

LOL - taking time off of work is not an issue - I'm on leave from work right now because of my health issues.

You need to use some of that time on yourself stud.

I remember. I only get foot-in-mouth disease once a month and I already used mine this month.

I don't do anything at work, so I don't neet to use my leave. LOL

not working is not the same as hanging out on a remote beach drinking alcoholic beverages out of coconuts.

Touche! I can't seem to get the motivation to go anywhere. Plus, my soon-to-be-exwife wouldn't let me anyways.

If you can't find the motivation, you need emergency intervention.

I think I'm just gonna have to do some trip-planning and get my arse outta dodge. ;-)

I didn't really break one - your comment just reminded me about it. I don't have a hissy fit b/c I broke a nail. They grow back...

I'm somehow guessing YOUR dream wasn't quite so tame. ;)

Nope. And I didn't break a nail. You didn't strike me as the "oh, I broke a nail" kinda gal. I'm usually a pretty good judge of character.

Just dont' let your gas tank get below 1/4 and have an emergency stash (of money for gas)
