What a week and I’m sick ??

Hello my lovely community,

What. A. Week.

So I am experiencing my first ever flu in Texas. For those who have not moved to new cities/countries before, it is common to have the first illness hit hard as one isn't used to the local strains of viruses and bacteria. Especially paired with my first ever lymphatic drainage massage on Thursday.

And boy, it hit me hard! Friday I was already struggling to speak without coughing and feeling tired. Then I actually could not sleep Friday night from a really bad sore throat till 5AM. First thing Saturday morning, I went to Target to get cold and flu medication, Whole Foods to buy a chicken to make chicken soup and pretty much just slept and ate for the whole weekend. Pretty much the same since actually.

Oddly enough, I have a strong sense of peace and gratitude. And deep down, a strange sense of happiness too. I can’t explain it.

But it’s been like this since I left Montreal on January 20th, 2024. Especially arriving safely in Austin on February 1st, 2024.

I feel so much more at peace and I’m my element here. The summers are rough, yes, but I’m still so grateful to be here.

Also, I recently made a couple of purchases that have been life changing.

One: a sauna blanket that I use everyday. Sometimes, twice a day I didn’t even know there was such a thing as “sauna blanket”, until Uncle Joe (aka Joe Rogan) was talking about it. I love it so much, I got mom one too!

Two: my first pair of cowboy boots from Chisos ?????? I love them both, so guess which I got ????

Anyways, here are some upcoming events. I’m gonna rest up and see you next week.

US India Chamber of Commerce - Austin AI Forum: Unleashing New Economic Value in 2025 and Beyond

Wednesday, 4.30 - 6.30 PM

Love,

Alice
