Arkansas ??

So we find ourselves in northwest Arkansas. After leaving Arizona and driving thru New Mexico we all got sick. Real sick. I mean all of us in a truck stop in bed. Some kind of flu that hit us hard and on top of that I had a severe allergic reaction to what I think was pollen. I woke up in the morning and my eyes were swollen shut. A rash had developed all over my upper back and neck. The pollen index in that area was 10+ and I had never spent a Spring that far south. So we were all in rough shape. We had to not move for a few days cause I could not drive. I was able to get Inanna to ride her bike to a Wal-mart to get me some ani-histimine pills. Wow what an experience. Everybody coughing and feverish. All we could do is stay in bed and take herbal remedies that we found in the small town of Silver city, NM. After a few days I was able to drive again but we needed to get out of this pollen zone. So we dowsed where would be the best area and that was northern Arkansas. So we drove there and had to cancel a festival we were supposed to do in central Flordia. The flu hung on for a couple weeks and now we are all much better. Fayetteville , AR is an ok town, not much street parking and 2 parks kicked us out but we are finding other spots that so far have been hassle free. Inanna has been teaching online still, 3 days a week so she rented another office space for the month. We did just get Starlink equpiment sent so now we will be able to have a better internet connection from now on hopefully anywhere we park. Starlink is a sattelite connection that we can use when were parked, as long as we have a clear sky window we can connect to Elan Musks’ sattelite’s….we shall see…

Aura has been working getting paid to proofread online. Beth, the founder of Enki education, hired her to help with getting all the resource material published online. Aura seems to like the work ok and its great that she can make some money while travelling! Ivy is on class 3 days a week and doing ok with her 7th grade class. She finds it easy to be with her classmates online but still wants more social activities with kids her age. Nowa started 1st grade with Inanna last week and is liking to say he’s in !st grade. Mostly its movement and storywork and coloring and drawing.

The plan from here is to head back south to panhandle Flordia for a 3 day festival next week . Hopefully the pollen will be manageable for me, I have been looking at the pollen levels on the weather app on my phone and the levels should start to ease off as we get futher into Spring.

Happy Spring to everyone !
