This morning I took the girls to KidiMu on Bainbridge Island to meet up with Melissa and Frankie for some fun times and lunch. They have an outdoor climbing wall now, which I’d love to see Freya climb. I’m sure Audrey will be up there pretty soon. She needs very little encouragement to climb.

Acupuncture seems to have calmed my chest pain most of the day though it resurfaced mid afternoon. Freya didn’t nap so I didn’t really get a chance to relax at all. I’m ok though. The hand and wrist pain is just about gone. I’m really only dealing with sharp occasional aches in the ribcage (chest xray was normal) and now some GI pain similar to last fall, when I was also highly stressed.

Sometimes I wonder if all this stuff I’m going through is the physical culmination of a lifetime of stress, anxiety, and so on. I would like to finally be free of that. To experience the peace I see in so many people around me, including my own husband.

In the bath now. I’m going to relax with the ballgame on the radio. I peeked at Facebook for the first time in six days. Looks like I’m not missing much, and vice versa.
