On Friday the weather was cold and dreary, which in many ways mimicked the way that I was feeling. I thoroughly enjoyed the past few weeks as I travelled across the U.S from L.A to New York To Texas and back to San Diego. However, after completing several weeks of travel and living out of a suitcase, dining out, dealing with long lines of airport security, flying in and out of airports and sleeping in different hotels, my energy level was at an ultimate low. I’ve been in denial about feeling sick because I don’t like to be sick but the reality of my symptoms are unfortunately, undeniably real. I woke up on Friday morning to the sound of rain, it was calming and peaceful. I spent the majority of the day on the couch catching up on my shows (New Girl, Modern Family, Pretty Little Liars and more). I decided to throw on something comfy to meet a friend for a late afternoon lunch. I threw my hair in a messy braid, put on some red-lipstick and ran out the door. I made sure that I was wearing something warm and I even brought extra layers with me so that I wouldn’t be miserably freezing during lunch.
