Awareness is key to maintaining balance and serenity within.

Hello world. The following was written 10/02/2017.

Spent the weekend working in Sacramento. We did two hours of driving to get to the location on Friday with two hours of work. Then another two hours on Sunday to get to location and around 5 hours onsite. All of these work hours would have been doubled if there was not two of us working in tandem to get the job done.

The office we were working in had just had the carpets replaced. The chemical smell was almost overwhelming in that office as was the heat. We could not get them to turn on the air conditioning in there either. By the time we finished we were both feeling irritable and tired.

On the way home we found ourselves constantly yawning and feeling very drained. When we did get home we decided to take a nap. That was around 6 PM. I woke up at around 10:20 PM. I stayed awake for maybe an hour and went back to bed. We woke up this morning around 8 AM, a little after actually. I slept for 13 hours total last night.

When we were done there at that office and had left to go home I started getting chills. All night last night I was freezing with teeth chattering at some points. I even found myself walking sideways in a daze when I had woken up at 10 the night before. The only cause we could think of for these reactions physically were those chemicals we were breathing in. My body does not do well with foreign substances at all. It literally tries to shut down as it did last night.
