Goals/Life Update/5 Decisions

I've had to make some very hard decisions in the last few weeks. Phaedrus has been doing very well with his girlfriend, Miss Rebecca, and is the happiest and the healthiest I have ever seen him. The first hard decision was to permanently give Phaedrus over to her as a gift and as a symbol of her past service. She deserves that, and also now that I am living in (to a cat) a loud, scary, moving, smelly bus, I cannot care for him as he needs and deserves to be cared for. It is for the best, although my heart has been breaking.
I have also, as I wrote above, moved in to 'Ol #3 for a few months. I have rented out the Fortress of Solitude, and I'm still organizing and reducing my possessions. The Universe has been prodding me to be able to be almost instantly mobile, and I'm clearing up every aspect of my life for a fast deployment if needed. The second hard decision has been to be open to that, and to again purge anything I cannot carry with me.
Seasonal allergies are necessitating medical intervention. I also making a third hard decision to take fairly serious medications that will allow me to breathe but may have serious side effects. It's possible that I will not stay in the PNW next year for this season because of the damage to my lungs and respiratory system, a fourth hard decision, although I heal fast. I cannot stay in contact to this much grass and mold and be effective, and I have been advised to move to a different climate. My sleeping and eating (#26, #97) have been off, and I am not at peak efficiency, although this weekend Miss Rebecca and I were able to hike 10 miles and see eleven waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park (#43).
Work has been done on my backpiece (#30), and the energy representing training and spirituality has started to flow. Next, work on transition, and the final concept for the left shoulder, the last to receive ink. I am still training hard and working with advanced skills in the dojo (#35), and I'll also be completing more professional training next week (#41). A fifth hard decision has been to continue my clinical practice in Oregon, and I am monthly making a decision to remain with my clinic. I'll likely stay at least long enough to finish the licensure process (#14 - #16), and my tattoo.
For today, to quote 'Kamikaze' Kelly, of the BRC DPW: "This morning I got up and put my boots on."
