Went shopping today -- despite my discomfort with consumerist America, I needed new clothes and you can't beat the Black Friday deals. But still feeling really out of it since I haven't been sleeping much since I've been reading about the new TSA security procedures and can't stop imagining.. ugh.. awful scenarios.

zoo I don't know if it's because I'm sick. I'm feeling better right now physically but in general not too well emotionally. But maybe soon my new vitamins will kick in and everything will be alright.

Going on a bike ride in a second.. going to read a few short stories while I'm out, get a cup of tea, try to quiet my mind. Feeling unsteady, but trying to just ride with it I guess. It's hard not to constantly worry about the fact that I have to fly next year.. and these security procedures.. I feel violated already..
