Hi Beth. I'm OK, but feeling very tired and a bit overloaded at a time when I wish I was kicking back before the mega excursion ahead. Hubby and I went to Prague this past weekend for a concert and spent a lot of time socializing and walking around the city. It's hard when I feel I have little choice to "step away" from things. The recent warmer temperatures and sure perimenopausal hot flashes doesn't help either.

This week and part of next week are busy, too. Calgon take me away! We have tickets AGAIN for a concert in Prague early next week, but I've already declared that I'm not going. I do want Hubby to go. Not just so he can enjoy it, but to give me some much-needed time alone without him. I like my time alone and have had extremely little since the pandemic started.

As for the France trip, the flights and car rental are booked. We still have to look into a place to stay upon arrival. Some accommodation arrangements may be made on the fly.

I saw my therapist today. My next appointment isn't until mid-July. I still need a future psychiatrist appointment. I had to cancel the one I had due to trip scheduling. He's so booked that he said to call him to "See what we could do" about finding a time in July, or so. I have plenty of meds to wait. Vacation season is coming up soon, so long delays may apply. As long as I don't push myself beyond my limits I should be fine. Maybe in France I'll find time to walk around town WITHOUT Hubby. Maybe flirt with some hot French guys. Flirting does me good. Do people know that Flirting is Good for Mental Health?
