I Made It. Holy Cow.
Today was the last day of HH Dalai Lama's teachings and empowerment here in DC. (Tomorrow is actually the last day, but today was the last day I'm attending) I went for 3 days in a row, had one day off, and then another 3 days in a row. I had to take the subway every day (wearing a face mask), stand in long lines and walk tons (for me) in record heat and in huge, vertigo-worsening crowds. (There were about 20,000 people in the center where it was held)
Holy cow. I barely made it through. Every day was worse and worse, and today I had to fight back tears of exhaustion and pain by the time I arrived there. Every day my legs filled up with enormous amounts of fluid due to all the standing and walking. I was in a great deal of pain sitting. I'd say I'm toast but I'm so far past that--I think I'm the burned crumbs that fall out of the bottom of the toaster.
It was totally worth it, though. I plan to spend the next several days in bed. And peeing off this fluid from my legs. LOL
