Jiggidy jig.

Well, I'm back in my favorite place for less than 24 hours and then back on the road once again...

I woke up this morning to the most beautiful sunrise coming from the southeast. Living in an urban area, I see the sun, but not the true sunrise. Out in the country, this made my day. Grubster and I also saw the most beautiful sunset in rural Nebraska Saturday night. Oh, how peaceful and gorgeous nature is in its simplicity.

Fairmont was an interesting little town. I've never come to appreciate Minneapolis for all its conveniences and perks until spending a week on and off in Fairmont. Seriously. The first thing I did in coming home was go to my chiropractor (thanks Dr. Stussy!!!!!) then stopped by Calhoun Square to get a Xmas gift for a family member.

But the best part of the day, hands down, was a nice Bikram yoga session uptown. Oh, boy, did I need that! Oh, I love Bikram yoga. It makes me feel so alive!

Then, onto something not frequently built in smaller towns that you just can't help but appreciate when you've been without for so long: Indian Cuisine at the Taj. I ate Dal w/basmati rice and Ecco Domani Merlot. Really nice.

Now, I'm sipping a fragrant green tea at Zeno. Not quite sure all the botanicals, but there is some vanilla in there. It's quite nice....I wanted something completely caffeine-free but there weren't many options for that. That's OK. I am feeling wonderful right now.

I'm hoping to load up on some good co-op deli food on my way back to the smaller towns again tomorrow. But something tells me I might sleep in longer than anticipated. I'm batttling a cold. It's not a bad cold by any means, but it's a cold and now I need to baby myself to get the crud out of my respiratory tract. Earlier today, at the chiro adjustment, I was lying face down with the tissue paper under me that they always put down for sanitary reasons. Well, good thing they did because Dr. Stussy said, "OK, take a deep breath in. Now take a deep breath out."

Upon that last command a great colony of snot came flying out of my nose and onto the tissue paper on the adjustment bench as Dr. Stussy adjusted my upper back.

Now I know why that tissue paper is there. I mean now I REALLY know.

Thanks for reading.
