It's been a while since my last post and since I've been back, I haven't been excited to share any information with anyone. Today marks 3 weeks being back in the United States. I finally finished unpacking yesterday, but still slowly putting my room in order. Last week, I decided to paint my room and also rearrange the furniture. There wasn't much to rearrange. The only furniture I have in my room is my bed, a small dresser and a nightstand. Painting my room is a huge change. I've been living in the mental hospital mentally for so long and having some color and pictures on the wall makes a huge difference.
As the weeks go by, my resistance to being back is slowly dissipating, but there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I wish I were still in India. With the holidays coming up, the more reason for me to want to disappear. For the past few days, my friends have been asking about my plans for Thanksgiving. I received a few invitations, but with my one hour threshold of commitment, I can't make up my mind. I'll figure it out when the day comes.
Slowly, I have been transitioning back to my other activities and I'm unsure if it's all the other activities or the weather, but my body has been in pain a lot. All of the aches and pains I had before I left are back with some friends. The other day, I had a bad wipeout and my foot and leg hit the fins on my surfboard. I tried to stay in the water and shake it off, but the pain was so immense and I started bleeding and was at risk of being shark bait. I was able to paddle in and the lifeguard had to bandage me up and drive me to the car. The good news is that nothing is broken and I didn't need stitches. The bad news is that I've been laid out for the past 2 days and everything is irritating me. My foot is badly bruised and very tender. I tried practicing yesterday and couldn't do a lot of the asanas. I guess this is the only way the universe can make me sit still and be me with me. Ick!
