Memorial Day Weekend

I've been thinking 
about memories.
I have so many.
I know Memorial Day
isn't really about 

my memories.
It's about remembering 
those who died in war.

But I remember

instead:

how many

bathrooms in each

place that I've lived?

having an annual pass

to Disney World.

I am grateul

for almost 42 

years of marriage!

Lots more memories

to make.

Back again!

Today is May 3, 2021
I've had some struggles since I wrote last - 
Lots of anxiety about :
Returning to work 2 days a week
Returning to work all 4 days
Opening the branch to the public on a limited basis...

At work and in the world:
Lots of shifts in Covid restrictions

And attitudes

I'm vaccinated

Still lots of conflict over :
racism
politics

My doctor put me on anxiety medication - fluoxetine
Within a few weeks, 
I developed a tremor
My body was out of balance - for real 
Then some tests to make sure it wasn't something bad
Taken off fluoxetine
Three weeks later... 

We know it's not anything bad 

Sodium levels back to normal...
Life feels better

Balanced.

I am grateful.
