Movin' On

This past week was really rough. I started my new medication for Fibro, but because it's such a strong med I have to start on really small doses, so it's not helping my pain much. It's also making me super nauseated. I laid flat on my stomach on my couch yesterday until about 4pm. I have been struggling to find a vehicle. I was going to buy an Acura MDX until me and my parents realized how much it would be to insure. Super bummed. I wanted to go out to Utah this weekend to cheer on my friends in the Dew Tour, but with no car it's not going to happen. I haven't been out riding in almost a week because of Fibro either, which is also a bummer because it's been so beautiful out.

Since I have been stuck inside a lot this past week, I decided to make a list of places I wished I could travel to. Traveling is a passion of mine, and when I don't have much transportation at all, it makes me want to get out that much more. I think it's crazy how some people can go their entire lives without leaving the country. TV just doesn't do it for me, I want to see it in person. I know I probably won't get to half of these places, but I can dream right? (These are in no specific order.)
