I slept a little better, but still didn’t get the kind of sleep that I wanted. Feels like my IBS is flaring up again, probably in response to the period. I stuck to half mile walks today, but I did three of them.
I’m asking myself if I’m nervous about doing my community service, and I don’t think that I am. But that doesn’t mean that my body isn’t reacting. It’s a new situation. My last stint at retail did not go well, but I was able to do it. I guess, I shouldn’t say that it didn’t go well. It went fine, I just didn’t like it.
I had an instant coffee with creamer this morning. It was not delicious. It gave me the caffeine hit that helped me get through the day, but I just really don’t like the flavor of those coffees. Ambrose bought them for me for backpacking. Maybe they’d taste better in the field, but somehow I doubt it. I’d rather go with my instant espresso any time.
It’s possible that my tummy is just getting used to vegetables and legumes again. I had avoided many veggies in the last several years, trying to figure out what was causing my stomach issues. Eliminating everything I could think of until I was done to nearly nothing. Healing is not without its sensations.
I made a packing list and tossed things into a pile throughout the day. After my post-work walk, I packed it all up and made a sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch. I’ve got snacks and I’ve got everything that I think I might need for tomorrow. I think I’ll skip the staff spinning today, and do some spinal oscillations when I get to Boise. Or maybe breathing. It will depend on how I feel when I get there.

I made it safely to Boise. There was a bit of traffic from a stalled car, but overall the drive was fine. I got my spinal oscillations done, and it’s just about time for bed.
