Mr. Hunt's Vinyl Sunday Tribute It's Sunday and I am working after 3 days off get sorted into an apartment. Wow, it has been a crazy two weeks. It took us t/hree days t.o drive here, a day t/o unload and a week t/o start t/o acclimate t/o the elevation. I lived at t/hree thousand ft elevation, so I thought another two thousand wouldn't matter...um, it does. The exhaustion can be brutal, so we hydrate and sleep a lot t/o compensate. Hence, my silence sometimes. Doing hair in a pandemic is interesting, but we are working through it. The elevation change means I get breathless easily. Thankfully the salon staff are awesome and understand because they are transplants too. Drinking th/ree liters or more a day of water helps. There is a certain bitter sweetness t/o how much I love Colorado. I find myself a little sad my late husband is not here t/o see it in person. those beautiful memories we had were wrapped u/p in a package back there, in that amazing place. I brought the package, his rucksack and ashes with as if I was sharing the trip. I know in my heart he would have been thrilled t/o have seen my face light u/p when I could see the snow caps o/f the Rockies ahead of u/s . I have shed a few tears and told him thank you again for making it possible. He always wanted to see Yellowstone, so that trip is on the horizon with a small spreading of his ashes somewhere amazing. Maybe when we mark a year in October...we'll see. He visits me in my dreams and I can see him in my kitchen shaking his booty to celebrate. I can see his crystal blue eyes smiling at me, Therefore, this Sunday vinyl will be for my guardian angel, Mr. Hunt, and all his Liverpudlian Brit glory Mr. Hunt's Vinyl Sunday That's Entertainment - The Jam Alive and Kicking - Simple Minds Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin I Want to Break Free - Queen Eleanore Rigby - The Beatles Roam - The B52's You Get What You Give - The New Radicals Wonderwall - Oasis Creep - Radiohead Telephone Line - Electric Light Orchestra |

You have your vinyl and there are really no limits to what our minds feel in our moments.

I played the ELO tune immediately, I love it. I cried while reading your post as I related to your message of loss. Grief has a funny way of peeking into our lives when we least expect it. I'm so proud of you, I don't know him, but I imagine he would have been so proud of you too. Lots of love and respect to you my friend. XXXX "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

Glad you're nestling in. Our loved ones are always with us.

This piece absolutely resonates... sometimes for me, a phrase or an action by some character in a TV show absolutely highlights what I have lost, and the impossibility of finding such a connection again. My thoughts are with you.

Those loves that have moved on to the other side remain with us.....this makes me think of the Dolly Parton song "Coat of Many Colors".....yes, we were poor of heart until they enriched our lives and were sewn into a beautiful coat we wrap around us to bring comfort.

Some people are just skillful at adjustment. I'd bet you're one of those people.

Higher altitudes have a big effect on the body. Right now you're producing erythropoietin to increase the amount of red blood cells in order to compensate for the lack of o2 in your blood. Would be interesting to put a pulse oximeter on you and check o2 levels at various times of the day as well as your heart rate. Your heart rate is probably through the roof trying to compensate at the moment. Exercise might not be a good idea at the moment( except for walking ) until your body readjusts. In a month you should be okay. If you're not drinking 3 liters of water everyday then you're dehydrated. That's not saying thats all you need. That number is just a baseline. At 50 years old you notice it a lot more. Im at 900+ feet plus above sea level that puts me in the 20 something % range. You're in the 16% range and thats a significant difference. Pace yourself. Your body already knows what to do and is doing it. Stay confident....Rick

There's no doubt that Mr Hunt would be beaming right now. Your mind acclimates to change quickly but the body not so much. Try to pace yourself if that's possible. I was in Yellowstone one October. No traffic, easy parking, and incredible scenery. I even saw a f-tard with a camera in hand creeping way too close to a bison. I've seen ELO in two different countries. Nice choice. Howling at the moon and mal ad osteo.

Welcome to Colorado! Takes a bit to adjust to the altitude and the attitude here.
