After a really tough 3 weeks. I hope this weekend is the
beginning of a new beginning. As you
know I suffer from PTSD. And I would think with time it would get better, but
3wks ago I suffered a horrific week. I don’t know what set it off exactly. It
could have been something I ate that didn’t agree and or it could have been
that in combination of my new job, but one thing after another just kept me
terrified all week. The next week was a
little better, but then things started going down hill and then this last week
was pretty rough. By Thursday I’d have
enough of suffering and we started pulling things back out of my diet and
planned a trip to get away for the weekend.
We spend a relaxing weekend in Bodega Bay. I was hoping to find a place where I could
fall asleep to the crashing of waves, but no such luck. But we were lucky
enough to find a room upon arrival as when we called ahead we couldn’t find any
place with opening, under $200, or that would let us only stay a single night. We were in walking distance to the beach and
spent some time walking along the beach.
I love beaches, hearing the waves crash, walking in the hard wet sand,
and watching surfers. We didn’t see any typical surfers, but we did see Kite
Surfers doing jumps and flying thru the air. It was quite a sight.
Being on a special diet is difficult eating out and after
looking at several places settled on, “The Tides Wharf Restaurant.” While
waiting for our table we noticed some memorabilia on the wall featuring Alfred
Hitchcock movie “The Birds.” Later that night we borrowed the movie from the
lobby and watched it. It’s an old movie, but it was still very entertaining and
we really enjoyed Alford Hitchcock’s into to the movie.
Mason really enjoys kayaking and wants to get one so he’s
trying to convince me that it’s a good investment. So he took me on a 4-hour
kayak adventure. We started at 8am in the fog. I was afraid I was going to
freeze, but I was happily surprised at how warm it was. The nice thing was we were in a tandem Kayak
so we could be together and chat.
The weekend was everything I hoped it would be, with the one
exception I wanted to fall asleep to crashing waves. I am all relaxed, feel good, refreshed, and
ready to face tomorrow. My new revised
diet seems to be working wonders, as I am feeling much better.
