The result and lessons learn / more to come and needs to be edited.

Before I left on this trip I had been having all kinds of dizzy problems due to extreme stress with my living situation...having to move, not being able to find a new home for us, the deterioration of the condition of the house where I am, my landlord starting to not respond to me and ultimately a plumbing issue that is complicated to explain but not my fault...he blew up at me and it was very upsetting ( no tears though as it was ridiculous.) So all of that was causing my cervical area to shut down all of my passageways to my head...I have been in protection mode. hunched up waiting for a crash. I was worried about driving as I hwas having trouble with that, but I changed my glasses to all long distance, no progressives and I went to see a fantastic chiropractor 2 x before I left.\

Anyway, I realize now how stressed I have been as the dizziness has abated. I hve to stretch out my neck, I have exercises and I do them 3 x a day for it, but I feel much better being away from the stress.  I will have to go back to it but I hope from a stronger point of view.

Alos, in conversation with the painting teacher, I realized that I am really missing art, msiing taking classes, learning, trying to new things going to exhibitions...There is none of that around where I live. They worship the long past arstists, Renoir and Matisse.T( I forgot Picasso who is revered, but not my cup of tea) they have terrible sculpture that they worship. I live right near a famous sculpture museum, Foundation Maeght and I dread going there as it is so snooty and so uninspiring, so I don't.  Moving west is The Var ( bad weather, winds, heat, floods)  Provence which is better, no where near the sea. I need to be near the sea. It's so important to me.  really...
