an update.....some may remember me, i pop in and out frequently. i am now in guatemala. i was only taking a little holiday here, but (mostly) good things transpired and ill be here for a total of 2 months.
i have missed this board. i really wish i could spend some quality time reading and responding to threads.... internet access is expensive as it is only geared to the tourists.
as i thought i was only to be here a short while, i only packed a short while's worth of medications....synthroid, effexor, and adderall. finding these here has been a struggle. i did find synthroid, or the equivelant (i think). i was pretty sure i wouldnt find adderall. they don't have effexor here, so i was going to try to pick up some prozac (you do not need a prescription for anything here) to take the edge off the withdrawl symptoms if needed. prozac just (within the last 2 years) came out here...hardly any pharmasist has knowledge of it.
it is interesting, this country of very busy and colorful people, and i don't see a lot of brooding. generalizations are always sketchy, but guatemalans seem to work hard and enjoy life. they live very simply, place family first, do not rely on machines.....while i am not militant about "progress" being a root of unhappiness for many people, a country like this has to make me wonder.....i sincerely hope that everyone is doing well (relatively?!) out there.....peaceful, simple, and joyful thoughts to all.
