I’m kind of buzzing right now after a very good night’s sleep followed by a cup with generous scoops of Tea India CTC. I got these magnesium “relax and calm” chews from Sprouts to help me with anxiety toward the flight, and I think they have been helping me sleep, which I did not expect. I have been taking them in the evenings after dinner. I actually researched what kind of THC gummies or similar that are legal in Texas (or any cannabis product I can buy in NYC) might work, and even Xanax, but my takeaway was that it can make things worse if you don’t know how it’s going to interact with your body, and I didn’t have time to make a doctor’s appointment to talk it over with her. I am pretty drug-sensitive, so I want to proceed with caution. I already take Lexapro, and I really like how it has helped me, so I don’t want to mess with my good things. I’ve also been diligent with the Vitamin C. 

I downloaded the rest of the episodes for Mr. Sahara and Toki-kun and Meet You at the Blossom to watch in-flight. Lots of fun, light BL will really help. 

I got a new issue of Poets & Writer’s magazine yesterday that I’m excited about. I’m not taking it on the trip, but I do plan to read it in the mornings when we get back and find some presses or contests to submit to, or at least give me an idea of how to shape this huge file of writing I have. It’s the first time I’ve opened an issue of that magazine in years. It gave me a lot of feelings to contend with, because I have thoroughly buried my writerly ambitions for many years, and I need to sort through how and why I have done that. It feels a little heavy, so I’m going to wait until my days off when I get back to think about writing again. 

( So much dog talk, LOL )
