Okay ... here we go .... ๐
How's your adventure going?
So far, so good .... tail end of my cold played up on the flight over, so ended up congested and didn't sleep much ... classic recipe for jet lag ... analgesic fixed that, along with cat-naps ... so on my feet and goin' again. Not staying more than a few days in one place for the first few weeks, so busy, but fun. Fielding WH issues here and there, but he has been great. The issues are affecting him much more than the rest of us.
Is there a particular thread your putting updates?
Is now ๐
Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's some Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue.
Best answer to jet lag I know .... drink lots of water, and stay with the day you're in, as if the time schedule in your previous destination doesn't exist .... to do with the rising and setting of the sun, I think, and circadian rhythms ....
How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think ๐
Yep .... :face_with_rolling_eyes: ... but he has done this for a few of our long trips now (it's been around 7 years) so he's worked out how to manage most of the challenges .... just means taking a lot of his own food, medications, equipment, etc along with us, so packing is problematic, along with weight allowances ... but again, he is mostly self-managing it so he's the one with all the headaches.
Got a shock today .... border security didn't recognise him from his passport photo and held up a long queue for 10-15 mins deciding whether it was a false passport or not .... okay he was about half-way thru his weight loss when the photo was taken ... but this lifestyle is aging him in his appearance .... and the c/s has changed the shape of his jawline ... and the thinness and sunken areas in his face have altered his features so much that they couldn't recognise him at all as the same person but thinner. He ended up having to pull out other photo id, but they still weren't convinced.
Think it was quite confronting for him, but I'm not gonna raise it .... he can just process that one for a bit. Hopefully it will help bump him towards the Contemplation stage of change.
Whoa .... D3 just slipped and fell in the shower ... knee sublaxation ... ๐ฃ ... not great, but not a full dislocation ... iced and raised .... see how it is in the morning ...
We were obviously overdue some additional drama ..... :face_with_rolling_eyes:๐ฌ๐
Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
As long as things are coming together for him okay, he's better when we are travelling .... distracting for all of us, and the problem-solving that happens in the moment brings back that sense of being a bit more of a team. It's healing, but it doesn't remove or excuse the underlying issues, so it's a bandaid solution .... but any port in a storm is good ....
Any good churches to visit there?
Tonnes of 'em .... soooo much history .... head-spinning if it's your thing ....
Did you go this morning?
Had to be on a plane, so no .... not today .... but saw lots of churches from the outside .... ๐๐๐ผ
Love ancient architecture and history.
Me too โฃ
Churches are great for it.
Oh yeah .... !
