Winds Be Gone!

The winds are picking up. It's springtime in the Four Corners! Initially, the winds aren't so painful. After a month of them and their effect on sleep (sometimes I feel like I'm on board a ship in a monsoon), you want nothing but peace.

The week has been busy. I did make the journey back from my visit to Phoenix. Dr. Shelton got me rolling on a new detox protocol (costly,but designed by "The Master" as he put it). I had my IV celation while at his office (leaves my urine smells metallic for two weeks). I promised to send him my thoughts on Morgellons via email.

I kept to my promise and wrote out a list of observations and speculations on Wednesday. He was impressed enough to request posting my thoughts on a statewide website for medical professionals in Arizona. Whatever it takes to get the word out on this condition is worth pursuing.

Yesterday was a productive day for my writing. I sent off two query letters and started drafting a new book (romance with a twist). I guess if I keep writing and knocking on doors one will eventually open.

It is eight weeks until the end of the school year. Eager to head in new directions, I got boxes yesterday from the supermarket to begin packing. I hope the direction I'll be taking will become clear soon!

What's Up?!

I'm in Scottsdale, AZ. It's a strange feeling. I'm staying at the old resort turned apartment complex- The SunKing. It is amazing just how not much of anything has changed. Anyhow, I made the half hour hike up to the library to email and thought I had time to write in the blog- I do...and here it is.

I've not written a new post since my return from San Diego. In a nutshell, I got incredibly sick and ended up in the Cortez emergency room. I drove the whole 45 mile drive late at night, gasping for air, and unable to think straight. My heart was going at an unbelievable rate. As with my other 4 emergency room visits over the past 5 years...I was told nothing was wrong. I guess it's good to hear. I somehow suspect it relates to shifts in the wind from the power plants (raising the levels of toxins in the air)...but it'd be impossible to prove.

Anyhow, all of this prompted me to visit Dr. Shelton (one of the world's best known detox specialist)...which is why I'm here. His office is in Phoenix and I have a Monday morning appointment. As the costs are high (my last visit was around $650.00) and my insurance covers nothing (he is a homeopathic), I plan to get the best out of what I plan to be my final visit. I hope to get more information on continuing to get the heavy metals out of my system on my own.

In the realm of strange coincidences, my old girlfriend emailed me today (we haven't made contact in some time). She tells me she is considering some self hypnosis work...unknown to her I purchased a self hypnosis CD last night. Cosmic, eh?

10 Minutes of Babble

I've about ten minutes to get some thoughts down. I have a bad-ass cold and wouldn't be at work except the principal assigned me as acting principal for the day. I've been fighting being sick since my return from San Diego.

The national meeting I attended was exhausting. I can climb a mountain, hike all day, move rocks or throw hay bales...but nothing is as exhausting as sitting in on meetings. I managed though with some evening hikes along the coast and a bike ride during my dinner break on the last day.

My friend Michael and his wife Karen helped me get away for dinner a couple of times. We even got over to Coronado Island and the famous Victorian hotel The Del. Way cool!

My muscle aches and watch tell me it's time to go. Here come the kids.
