Buggy

Saturday 28th May 2022 After my burst-through yesterday, today it felt like I had a hangover except with toothache.  So I realised that I would need to just relax and stop. I suppose the surge of constant moving the past months is still a habit to my body. Habits can be tricky because you don't recognise yourself doing them. So eventually my body told me by getting dizzy enough to need a lie down. I'd been bad at taking my antibiotics yesterday because I 'felt better'. But I still have quite a lot of infection going on so today was far better in my discipline.  The human body is amazing. We really are just a bunch of bacteria have learned to cohabitat until there's an invader in the system. Right now I feel like I am playing 'Space Invaders' as my Spotify music is playing one of my road trip tracks 'Outta the Blue' by Arno Carstens. I was transported back to that big blue car in the midst of that wide open Karoo with it's secrets, shadows and big blue sky.  Downstairs, my friends are watching the European Cup football final, the lady I met yesterday's husband is doing the audio mix for the match and I have just taken my last antibiotic for the day. Isn't it great to be alive?
