barely an introduction

I am back from Colorado and had an amazing time. Since early Monday morning (June 7), I have been miserably sick. I am actually sitting up now and am somewhat motivated to do things (such as blog, color mandalas, and try to suppress a tidal wave of anxiety headed my way), but I still need to take it easy. I am not sure what ails me. Maybe the flu? A mix of food poisoning and dehydration? Bieber Fever? Anyway, you didn't come here to be bored with mopey sickness talk. You came here to hear all about my Buddhist retreat adventures, right?! Yeah! But maybe that will have to wait. I am startin' to feel all queasy and woozy again. A bath, not a blog, should cure (or at least curb) these feelings.
