A glamp out!

The Mayflower Moving Company seems determined to cement our status as pilgrims.   Our things won’t arrive for another week. Once we got the keys, we moved to our glorious new home with pretty much the clothes on our back and the dog at our feet. 
 
Some would say we are squatting in our new abode, but a story is all in the telling. Perspective, perspective, perspective.  Why squat when you can “glamp”?  (photos above).  We have take out,  our Target card, Costco,  and don’t forget Joe, our favorite Trader.  
 
We decided to leave the fully-stocked hotel because Homie didn’t like it, and the canned air induced a cold in Ali.  A slightly under-the-weather Ali makes sufferers of “man flu” look like Amazon warriors. Ali shared the cold with Jory, who passed it on to Lillie.  And having a common cold in 2020 is akin to leprosy thanks to COVID.
 
As someone fascinated by the mind/body connection, I sought out Louise Hay’s connection of the emotional components of a cold. Hays says colds come about when there is “too much going on at once. A sign of mental confusion, disorder, helplessness or despair. Mucus and tears are ways to release repressed or pent up emotions.  If you have a cold, you may want to see if there is any crying or grieving you are repressing”.  Bingo.  Think of Hays when you next get a full blown case of the sniffles.
 
Tyler of course, never got the cold. He’s also not quite sure what’s going on.  He’s just excited to finally have his own room. I’ve been drinking sambucol like it’s happy hour and find writing cathartic. A way to release the swirling emotions.  Grateful to share them with you.
Now in our new home, without the canned air, the colds have really abated. The home is majestic.
