Diversify

I kept dreaming of USAID. I think Trump has taken a toll on me. Or I am just thinking and talking about it way too much. I can't believe he just got rid of the industry just like that. My industry. But, I have three years to think about what I will do next. There is still time. I will go for a security position if it's available. Those don't time out. Or CHOPS. I will be ok, I just need to be more intentional about next steps. And diversify my skills and hobbies. I read that yesterday. People are way more successful when they can diversify. Cycling, work, pilates, friends. I need something else. Hiking. Swimming again. Something fun that's not sports related. What could that be. As for work, Pilates instructor perhaps. Investment property in DC.

I spoke with Jean yesterday about mommy and the house. She said don't get involved. She's right. I am already having trouble sleeping just thinking about the idea, not even committing. Can't do it. Won't do it. I will help her when I need to help her. But, I need to take care of myself too. And, it is too triggering I can't get entangled. Not right now.

I realized my gravel bike doesn't have a charger. That kind of sucks. I guess I need to think of another plan for today. I could ride on my trainer, but not thrilled about that idea. I could hike Pichincha again, but not really in the mood. I could try riding outside with my road bike to the airport and back, maybe too dangerous. Frustrated. I guess if I get on my trainer I can walk later if it doesn't rain, or swim. That could be nice. Trainer and swim. And I will figure out the afternoon later. I i'll do pilates tomorrow again, that will help.

I'm grateful for...

- Life

- My job and still having one

- My health and feeling recovered from injury

- Talking to Sonja and Mattias yesterday, Jean, and Jenny

Just go home

I am sorry, Anni, that you are going through this. It doesn't seem fair, does it? Great job, fit, healthy, live in an exciting country. Yet, you are suffering. You are triggered. This anxiety about coming home keeps returning over and over again. Even after poppy died. Just go, go home. See mommy. See Marcela and Susi briefly and spend time with mommy. I think I need to tell Justin soon. I want him as a friend. Just say it, do it. Why is it that every time I get triggered that's where my mind goes to? Pushing people away maybe. I don't understand why I am so anxious about going home, or maybe I do. What I do know its that it is taking over my life. Why? Maybe what Kat said was true. Maybe I do have this hold of past family on over me. Poppy, poppy's dad, grandpa, and whoever else. I need a cleanse. I need to break away. I need a shaman. I'm grateful for... - life - love - hope for a full and complete recovery

25 year old lesson

I saw my the tarot therapist yesterday in the park, Erika. She was nice. I kind of saw her more as a friend. I don't think she has quite the experience I need, but she gave me clarity. Mommy, family. It is the cause of my stress. Set boundaries so she will set them with Nito. Talk to my sisters first, and then mommy together. We need to do this. Take action. Stop talking, do more. I know this is something that I need to work on. Somehow that has stopped within me. It has slowed down. My determination halted. With work. With ideas. Move. Act. Just like in the dream, the voice that told me to "act." Buy a rental investment, go hiking, agahuasca. Remember what guanche said, every time you say something do that thing. That was 25 years ago, and here I am learning the same lesson. The universe needs me to do this. So, we can start with this. Sign up for aguayasca retreat in December, change outbound flight to the 27th and visit family in December and talk to Mommy with sisters...

Erika

I had lunch wit Erika yesterday. It was nice. We had a good conversation. She is planning on leaving soon, will miss her. She has been a good friend. She mentioned a few things that made me really think. She said that I can't waste anymore time, If I am bored. To go to school or something else. She said thet I need to find a job that makes money because I don't have kids that would take care of me when I no longer can. Euthanasia is what I responded. We laughed. Both things made me think. I am still thinking.  Then I felt sick. Like really sick. Fatigue, headache, even nausea. I ate something small at dinner and threw it up. I slept and feel a little better today, but not 100%. I do have some stuff to do today. Go to the YFD session at 9. Dentist. Pick up clothes. Coffee with girls. I had a dream with Justin yesterday. It was interesting. First time I think that I dream with him. He was driving and cops got in the back seat. We dropped them off and they kept coming in. Outside ...
