Christiana, Tennessee

8:30 A.M.

Something that I have noticed since arriving in Nashville on Saturday was that I feel tender all over. It has been 3 years since the last time I left California. I cannot remember if I had the exact same feelings I do this time, but I am sure I must have. I remember feeling the most calm I have ever felt in a long time. I did not feel any acute side pains at all, except for perhaps a few minor pains. This time, I have felt a few very minor pains in my left side, probably from the more significant earthquake activity in the world and some more seismic activity heating up in Southern California. Again, I'm still connected to California. It is still in my system. It feels like it will start becoming more active there very soon at this point.
It feels like it has been getting closer to that since the Ridgecrest events. I pray that the action waits until I return this weekend. While I was flying, I felt dull in the mind. Being completely off the ground, especially that high up into the sky would do that to me. I was not that mentally sharp upon getting off the planes initially. I was at least sharp enough to function of course, but I just felt like a real ditz. I notice that the upper portion of my throat and back of mouth is sore this morning. I'm not sure if that has to do with anything, but I may be tender and sore all over as my body adjusts to being in a different place.
I believe Southern California is more tense than it was the last time I took a trip out of town, so that is what might be affecting me - one of those things. At the same time, I'm more open to feeling the energy from all over the world when I'm away from a plate boundary. I do notice something interesting on the realtime earthquakes map(USGS). There is a line of small quakes running diagonally from Western Alabama to the border of Maine and Canada. There are 5 of them - a magnitude 1.5 Southeast of Saint Andrews, Canada, a magnitude 1.6 near Hillcrest New York, a magnitude 1.7 in Eastern Tennessee, a magnitude 1.8 in Eastern Virginia, and a magnitude 2.1 11 miles Southeast of Aliceville, Alabama.
