Cowboy (rough) country -- the hotel manager, Liz, was telling me that because
the motel is right off the freeway it was used as a stopping off joint for
trafficking - drugs, parties, prostitution, etc. Now, no locals with a Casper
address are allowed to rent a room. You must show an ID that is from out
of state. There seem to be many motel/hotels in this town. Hmmm.
My room is outside the manager’s office so we are on a first-name basis
around here. Always asked if I need anything. This morning was the first
open breakfast since the pandemic last year. I have waffles, yogurt, bagels,
cereal, fruit, etc - so things are looking up now. Nice to have food. Anything
other than just coffee.
Had a couple oriental massage/bodywork sessions and my back sounded
like rice krispies “snap, crackle, pop”. Orientals don’t seem to value pain
as a limiting factor for treatment - at least not from my experience in the past.
A little relief in piriformis, quads and hamstring, but still have pain walking,
not bicycling.
Surprisingly, as I am reading my journal, I’m realizing how what I wrote
3 years ago is fitting for my current situation, as if I wrote it for this time.
Space/time is definitely on a warp speed mode because it does not make
any sense anymore - I left the Seattle train station eons ago - no reality at
all of time for me!! Some days I can't recall what I did in the morning unless
I think about it - what did I do?
Anyway, processing my ‘innerts’ and staring at the ceiling is becoming quite
the pastime!! Chakra music is very soothing & helpful during the evenings.
I can run a few hours on some of the youtube videos.
NAMASTE.

The more you're in the now the less real is the past and future. Yes, the Asian bodywork can be painful. In some cultures if it doesn't hurt it's not being effective, especially Korean.
I've wondered what it would be like to live in Wyoming but I've never been there. I'm looking forward to seeing if you find anything interesting in your location. It sounds like you're taking good care of yourself. :)
Some hotels here don't allow locals either.
