A few days

It's been a while since I've blogged anything because I've been sorting things out in my mind.  I'm trying hard to catch up with my classes while keeping my appointments and continuing my traning.  It hasn't been working all that well for me.  I'm really on the edge of that abyss again and while I understand why, I haven't been able to effectuate a change.  I'm trying to stop taking a hormone pill and I think this is the major contributor to my mixed feelings about things.  This is the instigator of my sadness and while I wish perhaps I didn't try to stop it now, it is probably better that I do it now than when I am back in classes for spring semester and trying to do so much work.  Being the end of November I also have a number of things changing, like my health insurance and I guess I am worried about my allergy shots.  The pills I am taking only a vacation from because I want to restart my body system.  To help with this I am planning to start yoga classes at least 3 times a week.  This will supplement my already active walking regimen.  I guess I have too many changes taking place at the same time.

I've been mapping out distances and stops along the route to Santiago from Le Puy.  I have some terrific maps for the French region, showing topography, roads, and the pilgrim route all on the same page.  It is very detailed and so much fun to look at.  Also, while on a trip to do research on Monday I started some of the French language tapes.  This will be a challenge as I already do not remember much more than one or two words.

We have been trying to walk 6 miles a day and have been doing well at it.  Today the giant marshmallow cut the pad of her foot, probably on some ice, and was bleeding so I turned around at 1.5 miles so that it didn't get too bad.  Perhaps we will walk to the library this afternoon for a quick trip. Most of that is pavement and not trail so it should be a little easier on the marshmallows feet.
