So Close I Had To Go….

I stayed in Scottsdale for 5 nights, I really enjoyed the hotel I was in.  Marsha and Jeff that worked the front desk and helped guest were fantastic.  They made me feel so at home I debated staying longer.  When I mentioned that I was going to go over to California, Marsha said I should go to Laguna Beach that it was a beautiful place to visit.  She loves going to that area with her kids every summer.  With her recommendation I headed to Laguna Beach.  My GPS had me take Route 10 West across.  When I hit California we had to go through an all vehicle check point, they basically flagged us through.  The temperature dropped about 10-15 degrees which was weird.  Down the road a sign was flashing saying heavy winds were happening.  A little while later I read a sign saying State Prison next exit, then underneath in large print “DO NOT PICK UP HITCHHIKERS”. Hummmmm, do they have many breakouts?  I didn’t hit any wind until I got into the mountain area.  I saw a truck/hill sign saying next 10 miles.  That’s about when the winds started to pick up.  They really hit hard when I got into Palm Desert, I felt my bike come off the ground twice with two of the big gusts.  That was enough for me, I got off the road and pulled into a parking lot to find a hotel.  I stood on the opposite side from the kick stand to give my bike support so it wouldn’t get blown over.  I had to ask Siri where I was, I then started to look for hotels.  Not knowing how far they were, I then asked Siri to find hotels close to me (so glad I thought of that) I found one 0.3 miles away.  I was so glad to be off the road!

I walked down the road to the grocery store to get water and something for dinner.  Here is a picture when I was coming back.  You can see the dust storm.

About an hour after I finished eating I began to get a temperature, I was freezing, but my body was burning up.  I started some essential oils, but I still ended up getting a sinus infection from the dust (which later on the news they mentioned that was happening to people).  I was down for the count, I went to the front desk each day to extend my room then right back to bed.  That’s why I have been missing in action!

Yesterday I went and had acupuncture along with cupping.  I had never had the cupping done before.  I was still sore last night, but today I felt great.
