Canaan and Lyme

I'm almost on my way to Canaan Land. Well, actually, more like to here. Who knows which computer I'll have access to for blog posting and letting you know what's happening in my brain. Indeed, my brain has been a little bit fried of late - come to find out I have Lyme Disease and that explains those shivers and shakes, aches and pains, not to mention sad-looking tired eyes. But am armed with my treatment and all should be well as I fly across the world tomorrow to see family and friends. Life is what happens when I'm making other plans because who would have thought that those beautiful deer who share the seeds falling from the bird feeder, would have brought me a gift like this? Ah me, ah my!

In any case, rest assured that daily I will be visiting a beach, and I am bound to take in an excellent humus with a glass of red wine as I watch the sun set over the Mediterranean after my swim. Even though I might become fuzzy-minded from Mid-East politics or intimate and intense family dynamics, I will try and let you know ever so briefly how all goes. And I'll be looking in on you, dear blogger buddies.

I had plans to post a long, emotional piece today but the Lyme got to me finally and there's a matter of laundry, packing, between fever and moments of feeling well enough - you know what I mean. I will get to it though - keep looking out for it - it's about my routine. The kind that Aimee Mann sings about in Momentum (one of my favorite songs). Hang in there - I'll be back.

I won't be gone long but I hope you'll miss me.

Of course we'll miss you! That beach looks most inviting, though... Enjoy your trip! And come back renewed with lots of blog material... *hugs

I'll miss you :) Have a grand time ~ lots of fun and laughter!

Have a wonderful trip, Tamar, and take good care of yourself! I wondered why you'd disappeared behind quotations and am sorry to hear the reason. Hope your case of Lyme Disease proves to be not too serious and quickly responsive to treatment.

Bon voyage! Take care of yourself. Soak in the sea. Enjoy reconnecting with all the people you'll see. We'll miss you here.

Am on my way...

Where is your beach?

My aunt had Lyme disease and it was pretty awful, I am so sorry, hoefully they know better now how to treat it...

I put up a deer fence around my property (or at least the part I look at every day) because I couldn't stand watching them munch the flowers and shrubs... I have to get out of the car and open the gate to drive out every day but it's totally worth it!

Travel safely and take care of yourself!! The antibiotics may make you feel goofy for a couple of days but then you'll get used to them. I think I may have had early Lyme disease (was bitten by a tick, forgot about it, two weeks later got a sudden bad stiff neck, remembered the tick, wasn't tested but took the antibiotics). Hope yours is easily knocked out in time to give you energy for your journey.
