Big Plans Ahead

 This has been a trying year, the most trying year of my life. I was pondering for a while as to where to go from here. Now, I made up my mind with a clear goal. My goal for this new year is to take on learning Japanese and studying abroad over there. I feel a strong pulling from there and I have always had an interest in Japan for many years. Now, I'm having a strong desire to live there at least part time. Japan seems to be right up my alley - frequent earthquakes, volcanoes, 4 distinct seasons, amazing natural landscape with forests and mountains, the fox spirit with my affinity for the animal, and many more. The culture is generally conservative and polite and it is also clean with quality healthcare services from what I have researched. I appreciate structure as well. This could cause me to spend a little less time blogging here. I will still be active, but if you don't see as many posts or tweets, that is why.

December 23, 2021

 I slept in a little late this morning, so I'm still trying to get my bearings upon waking up. I was in some pain a lot over the past 2 or 3 days. My side was extremely sore and sensitive. I did not feel any sudden severe pain there, though. There has been a lot of action in terms of seismic activity in the world. A few magnitude 6s have happened over the past several days. I'm not in pain right now, but I may feel some mild pressure in my left side. I have also noticed that my leg pain has been starting up again over the past week. I feel very sensitive below the knee in my left leg. I have been worried about possible vascular-related problems again because I felt strange sensations in my arms yesterday. I'm also thinking that might just as easily be nerve-related. I have major life plans now. I have considered studying abroad and traveling to Japan in the not-too-distant future. That could be the next tectonically active place I will be setting foot on. However, I could have a connected flight that may end up somewhere in California, Hawaii, or perhaps even Alaska. This could be my saving grace. It will be interesting to see what happens then.

December 19, 2021

 I have been feeling some pain in my left side all day. Overall, I have felt a discomfort or pressure there. There has been some more significant earthquake activity going on in the world again. I have felt dizzy with a headache over the last day and pain and discomfort in the side. I felt some leg pain and tingling today as well. 

December 14, 2021

 Yesterday, I was feeling some pressure and pain in my left side on and off all day. Eventually, a major earthquake struck Indonesia as I was about to go to bed last night. I have felt less this morning, but I am beginning to feel it again just now. I have been almost desperate as to discover more with these seismic zones west and east of my location. I have especially been trying to figure out more with the New Madrid fault. The 210th anniversary of the first of the major earthquakes there is on Thursday. This has been uncharted territory for me ever since I got here after spending 8 years living on a plate boundary and evolving and understanding the region. The 2019 Ridgecrest events caused by sensitivity to spread further up North where I started feeling impending activity from over the Garlock Fault more acutely. In the months before we had to move away, it even felt like it was starting to expand even further up north into the Sierras after there had been more significant activity going on there. Suddenly dropping all of that and moving to somewhere totally different and unfamiliar is very hard. Now, I am not sure what exactly might be going on, but I have been somewhat worried about possible vascular problems. I feel a lot of leg pain. I felt more of it over the past month. I have been dizzy on and off and felt other strange symptoms. I do not recall experiencing this before in California. I have been wondering if I need to be pumped with some seismic energy from up close. The chances of me experiencing that often are much lower than when I was there. Every time after an earthquake that I thoroughly felt, I felt refreshed and felt energized and lively. Especially after being in pain, I felt immediate relief every time those seismic waves hit. Again, I don't want to be too dramatic about this. I was just making an observation.

December 3, 2021

 There were a couple of mag. 6-pointers in the world following last night's entry. I'm still not sure if it is over yet. I've been feeling some mild stinging pains in my left side and I'm feeling very warm and stimulated. The heat and stimulation may also be because I'm ovulating(I have been having mittelschmerz all day). Other than that, I am feeling some side pains. I'm not only monitoring significant activity around the world, but possible activity in or around Tennessee. There has been some more seismic activity going on in the New Madrid area and a couple of new small EQs occurred in Eastern TN over the past day or two. 

December 2, 2021

 The activity was very low today after an outbreak of strong earthquakes in the world this week. However, I started to feel some pains in my left side and more seismic activity started to increase again. There has been more moderate earthquake activity occurring around Japan today. It may not be over yet in terms of more significant activity in the world. There may still be some more seismic activity taking place in the Central and/or Eastern U.S. as there has been more going on over the past week. There have overall been a higher number of small EQs on the Eastern half of the U.S. over the past month so far. I have been feeling sore and achy all day. I'm not sure what is going on there. I have been feeling more of that leg pain and it even runs up from my foot.

November 28, 2021

 I have been in some pain lately. My side hurt really bad for a second when I laughed really hard and it was sore and tender all day yesterday. The other night, I felt sudden excruciating pain in my left foot. I did not do anything to injure it and it looked a little swollen. I was not sure what that was, but it was frightening. A major earthquake struck Peru this morning. It was a magnitude 7.5. I'm still feeling a lot.

November 23, 2021

Over the last few days, there was not much going on in the world, but it still felt like more should be going on. Even though there were a few strong earthquakes in the world recently, it feels like something did not quite run all the way through. Now, it feels like it is on the verge of becoming highly active any moment or day now so far. I'm starting to feel some sharp pains in my side and I'm also feeling warmer. It feels like I'm due for a thorough combing of energy. I noticed that over the past few days, I was feeling somewhat depressed and irritable. I was experiencing more fatigue and malaise earlier, but I'm starting to feel like it is finally warming up out there.

November 18, 2021

 Earlier, I deleted a post in this blog this morning as I was still feeling off and unsure what exactly was going on. I'm expected to start any time now. My hormones really can throw me off and I feel like a disorganized mess. I've been in a brain fog all week. I was feeling quite warm and feeling pressure in my side this morning, but no stabbing pains. It seemed like it was a slow-burning type of process this time as it was suppose to be active over the past several days. It felt like something was about to pop somewhere any day now. It does not feel like it is over either. There is the possibility of an even bigger event somewhere any time or day now. There has also been more activity going on in the Central U.S. including a mag. 4 in southeastern Missouri last night(close to the NMSZ). I'm feeling a constant dull pain and discomfort in my side and feel compressive stress overcoming my body. I feel so heavy all over. My appetite has decreased and feel exhausted. 

November 17, 2021

 I'm about to go to bed, but I wanted to report that I have been feeling a lot on and off lately. I wasn't feeling so much earlier as there was very little going on in the world in terms of earthquake activity. It was active a few days ago, but then it stopped and it has been relatively quiet in the world over the last 2 or 3 days. There has been hardly anything going on in or around Tennessee according to the USGS monitor. However, a magnitude 3.7 struck near Poplar Bluff, Missouri tonight. It wasn't quite in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, but there could be something going on. Earlier this evening, I felt some intense burning pain in my left side. I felt that a few days ago as well. I have felt pain and strange sensations in my extremities at moments. I dismissed it all as my body getting ready for menstruation. However, I kept an open mind that it might be linked to energy in the earth. Some of these side pains I have felt were somewhat horrifying. I'm uncertain what may be going on at this point.

November 14, 2021

 I was feeling some mild pain in my side yesterday and it felt like it was about to become active somewhere in the world again. I warned on Twitter yesterday that more significant earthquake activity in the world might be coming. Hours ago, a mag. 6.0 and mag. 6.3 struck Iran. I'm in some pain right now. I have been in pain over the past hour where it felt like something hit me deep up into my left rib cage. It hurts a lot. It even feels like it is attacking my lung. It is well up in there. Yesterday, it was a slight stinging deep in my side closest to my kidney. The other night, I felt terrible leg pain again. There have not been anymore small earthquakes in or around Tennessee in several days. I felt lightheaded as well. I'm wondering if there is a connection between the lack of recent seismic activity anywhere near where I am and my circulation. So far, I'm feeling very warm and my left side hurts badly. I will find out if there is more strong earthquake activity going on in the world anytime now or within the next few days or possibly something going on a bit closer to my location.

November 8, 2021

 I have not felt anymore side pains throughout the day. There has not been much going on in the world in terms of earthquake activity. This could change overnight, tomorrow or later in the week. At the same time, it may not be acting up much anywhere for now. I have been feeling the lack of energy. I woke up feeling very congested. That has happened to me before whenever there has not been a purge of energy from strong earthquakes around the world. There have not been any high levels of activity recently, so there is stagnant energy trapped inside of me. However, there has been some signs of more activity in the New Madrid Seismic Zone over the last 2 days and some very small quakes have popped up across parts of the South.

Update - 8:35 p.m.(CDT)

Ironically, just after I made this post, I suddenly started feeling some pain and discomfort in my left side just now.

November 6, 2021

 I have been feeling more pain in my side today and this evening as more significant activity occurred in the world. There has also been more small earthquakes occurring in the Central U.S. and South again. Tenderness is another physical symptom I do not mention much of. The stress before a release of energy somewhere or on a smaller scale closer to my area must trigger certain hormones. My side sometimes would become sore to the touch. I will never forget a time leading up to moderate activity in Southern California when I felt as though I had a painful bruise on my left side. It scared me when I touched it. It even hurt laying on it. That was inflammation. After this move across the country, I later have discovered that the connection I had back where I was never went away. I pick up on stresses from everywhere. I don't need to be on a tectonic plate boundary to feel all that. However, it can still be confusing trying to determine whether it is something big somewhere in the world or something going  on closer to my location. Back in California, most of the physical symptoms I experienced were related to energy in the region. I experienced more faint sensations when it came to large quakes around the world.

November 5, 2021

 Since yesterday, I have been experiencing a flux in peculiar symptoms in relation with the global seismic activity. Earlier, as I felt pressure and discomfort in my side, more moderate earthquakes flared up in the world. Then the feelings subsided and there was nothing else going on. Last night I briefly felt some pain in my side and there were signs of more going on out there, but it did not last either. I was not feeling much earlier this morning and there was relatively little going on in terms of global earthquake activity, but then it started showing signs of becoming active again as did my symptoms. As of right now, I am feeling a pressure in my side on and off and it has been going on over the past 2 or 3 hours. It feels like it still may be active any time now, but there may not be much going on just yet. I am even considering issuing a new world EQ watch extending into next week. At this rate, it feels like there is due to be a large earthquake somewhere any time or day now. I'm also considering the possibility of something going on closer by in a less likely location. I have felt a few deep searing pains in my left side this week. It made me wonder if there could also be something going on in the Central or Eastern U.S. I don't necessarily mean something large. Significant EQs can happen in this region. They have happened before.

November 4, 2021

 Throughout most of yesterday, I hardly felt anything else except briefly late yesterday afternoon or early evening. There was a mag. 5.6 in the Banda Sea region at 9:42 last night Central Time. This morning, I was not feeling anything as there was nothing going on after that. However, I started to feel some discomfort in my left side at around 11 or shortly before 11. I also felt very warm with a raised heart rate. I'm still experiencing those ongoing sensations. Some more moderate earthquakes just occurred in the world. It feels like it might become even more active any time now. As much as I have learned about earthquakes over the past 12 years, I have also been studying some biology. I am learning and understanding more about the cardiovascular system today. I have been attempting to figure out the exact link between earthquakes and the peculiar symptoms I experience leading up to them. I have been trying to figure out what exactly makes my side hurt, particularly the left side. I first speculated that it had to do with a squeezed nerve and later on movement of blood and other fluids. It could be tied to both of those. I first figured that it was always my left side because of there slightly being more space there than in my right side. However, I speculate that it may have to do with the vascular system. The main artery is on the left side and more high pressure areas are in the arteries while lower pressure areas are mostly in the veins. The arteries are where the blood is flowing away from the heart and the veins are where blood flows to the heart. So far, it may be heating up again, but at the same time, I will not be surprised if there is nothing else going on today. At this point, it could start lagging again and draw out over the weekend and next week.

November 2, 2021

 I have been feeling much pain in my side over the last 3-4 days. Subsequently, more significant activity has been taking place in the world over the last few days. I continue to feel pressure and some discomfort in my left side so far. It is still heated out there. I also have been feeling very tender all over and it isn't tied to my menstrual cycle this time. There has also been more seismic activity occurring in the central and eastern U.S. lately. 3 very small earthquakes occurred in the New Madrid Seismic Zone in less than 24 hours. One happened late yesterday afternoon and the other two occurred early this morning before dawn. I also noticed that I felt some spasms in my arms and legs. I will make note of it in the future if it happens right before more strong earthquake activity takes place in the world or perhaps something going on closer by.

October 29, 2021

 I was not feeling much until this afternoon. I did tweet that I was feeling some pain just to put it out there. I started feeling some mildly acute pain in my left side and also felt warmer. 20-30 minutes later, a mag. 5.7 in the Kermadec Islands region and a mag. 5.2 in Peru occurred within 20 minutes of each other. Over the past hour, I have been feeling some more pain in my left side and have felt some dizzy spells so far.

Compression Stress & The Body

 I have learned just over a year ago about the process of stress in the moments before an earthquake and how it affects my body. It feels like a compressive force. Everything becomes tighter and tighter and then the seismic waves relieve it. It seems to add stress and pressure on the internal organs. It can at times make you feel like you have to go to the bathroom or even feel nauseous. It would also make you feel like you have weights tied to your hands and in the bottom of your feet. It would feel like I'm twice as heavy, like I'm being pulled down into the ground. I would find myself sort of stooping over or less willing to move. It would be more uncomfortable during menstruation where I feel uterine pressure and discomfort.

I visualized the process. The energy from the earth churns up into my body like a current. It flows up to the top of my head and then back down. Halfway there, it also gets caught in a circular loop at the sides(where I feel most pain - particularly my left side where there is a little more space). My sides are like pockets, spaces where the energy then circulates downward, sort of sewing me into the ground. It also is like the affect of winding up something tighter and tighter before it gives way. I'm also speculating the effects it may have on fluids in the body. I was wondering whether the compressional stress could trigger retrograde menstruation or suppress it. I wondered if the pain in my side may also be caused by blood and other fluid pooling from the stress. I am now considering tracking all this down in a notebook. I believe that is what I should do from now on. I will be monitoring functions and symptoms more thoroughly while keeping track of the earthquake activity near and far and take notes.

October 23, 2021

 I'm beginning to explore possible causes of earthquakes in or near my area. I am suspecting that the pain does not just come from larger scale activity all over the world. I have a feeling there could possibly be something going on closer to where I am. I have discovered that the pain comes from a feeling like something is about to pop. I have an idea of what makes it hurt before an earthquake. I know the difference between a natural earthquake and an artificial event such as an explosion. In the past, it is like a bubble is about to burst before an earthquake. Stress suddenly increases or a small amount spikes to a critical point, it gets really tight and hot and then it lets go. That is what it feels like. I am aware that there is a vast quarry in my area and I'm thinking that can lead to induced seismicity. There are also some fracking sites around TN. I'm trying to understand the mechanisms in earthquakes on this part of the country. I understood them quite well back over in California on a tectonic plate zone. An earthquake is very much a release of energy after a build up of stress deep in the ground. They typically occur in a fault or disturbance in the earth. When it comes to intraplate earthquakes, it does not involve tectonic plate movement. Some of the causes are pre-existing zones of weaknesses that can reactivate(e.g. New Madrid Seismic Zone). There are also suggestions of them being caused by mantle plumes. I have a feeling a number of earthquakes go undetected in this part of the country. I do feel a lot out here at times. It can be confusing and difficult where it feels like I'm being pulled in different directions.

October 20, 2021

I'm likely going to be starting tomorrow. The activity around the world has decreased significantly. It may be over for now. It seems that each wave of significant activity has to land on the day I start for there to be less pain. However, that doesn't work when I have not been as good to my body as I should. I have to be more disciplined in cutting out things that would trigger an endo attack. I also just started taking turmeric curcumin to reduce inflammation and I have seen improvement from yesterday. I also ate all the right foods and cut down on the coffee today. Tomorrow I may end up drinking just decaf in the morning, especially if I get it first thing. It seems like there has to be a perfectly abundant amount of energy release around the world or something closer to this area that would make for an easier time on day one(when the worst of the pain would occur). Otherwise, I do all the right things to avoid a flare-up. On the other hand, if I don't prepare my body wisely around that time, I would still hurt a bit even if it was active enough out there. I'm still concerned about my circulation(fearing my relocating away from a plate boundary after 8 years affected my circulation). A few minutes ago, I was talking and I suddenly felt very dizzy or felt a fuzziness in my mind or almost a numbness. I also see a small raised, livid lump in my middle finger. I did not injure myself. It looks like a tiny blood clot. There has not been one small earthquake reported anywhere on this side of the country over the last 3 days. I will be paying closer attention to each little increase in some seismic activity in TN and surrounding areas to see if there is a link between that and certain symptoms. It is hard to say because not only do I have my hands tied with more serious activity in the world, but most of these earthquakes were rather small and distant with the exception of a 2.3 less than 20 miles from me in August, but that was a rather small event that occurred overnight. I felt some pain as I was going to bed that night, but I couldn't distinguish possible local activity from more significant activity throughout the world. I have been trying to figure all that out since I got here.

October 19, 2021

 I'm becoming increasingly concerned about my health. I'm about to start any day now and I have been riddled with soreness, aches, and pains. It hurts whenever I cough laying down. It is as though I have splinters inside of me and it is worse if anything hits them. I'm also feeling some pain, numbness, and spasms in my arms and legs. I'm also concerned about my circulation. I'm not able to see a doctor anytime soon. I'm very much in the dark. Regarding seismic activity, I felt some pain in my left side continue later yesterday and last night. Another strong earthquake occurred in the world overnight. There also may have been something in Eastern TN. I found a disturbance on seismographs around the area. I checked seismograph stations far away to make sure it wasn't the mag. 6.0 in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. I did not find that signature on any of the seismographs in Western TN or other more distant areas. It is uncertain right now. All I know is that if something did happen in that area, it was not anything large.  

October 18, 2021

 More significant activity has occurred in the world. A magnitude 6.1 struck the region of Vanuatu during the overnight hours(Central Daylight Time). I have been feeling pain in my left side all day. It feels like a gnawing and aching type of pain. Some of it feels like burning. I'm also aware that a certain time of the month is coming up. I'm due on Thursday and I'm sore and tender all over. I'm having to monitor my health and my diet to avoid a painful flare-up. I don't want to feel like I'm at the mercy of a release of energy flushing old stagnant energy out of my system. It is very tricky. I'm drinking less coffee and am considering not having any at all come Thursday morning if I start then or overnight. I have been feeling a lot other than that. I have also been feeling some nerve pain and a few spasms in my arms and legs. I also am looking into possible activity going on closer to where I live. I checked the seismographs around TN and something came up on a few seismographs in Eastern TN.

October 16, 2021

 I have been feeling some pain and pressure in my left side over the past hour. My side also feels hot and I'm feeling very warm with an increased heart rate. There may be more significant EQ activity on the rise for parts of the world. It has been increasing so far. I'm probably going to issue a new world EQ watch today. It may extend well into next week at this point. There could be moderate to potentially strong earthquakes occurring any time or day now, but they could occur a few days apart. It was somewhat recent since the last set of significant to large earthquakes in parts of the world. 

October 15, 2021

 I noticed that I felt some pain in my left side yesterday evening and last night. I sort of ignored it. I really did not think a new post in this blog was necessary and I was not sure what to say on Twitter. It felt like something was going on somewhere, but at the same time, there probably was not going to be that much going on for another week as there had already been a number of significant quakes in the world late last week and early this week. However, I did say in the outlook that one strong earthquake happening somewhere this week was still possible. I may have Tweeted a few times about physical symptoms I was feeling, but I discontinued that. I'm becoming a little more self-aware and people may not make sense of that. A magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck the Solomon Islands just as I was going to bed. It did not immediately show up on my Twitter feed or the USGS earthquake monitor. There was very little going on anywhere else in the world. It is hard to say what I feel in terms of activity occurring somewhere closer to my location. There has not been anything of magnitude 3 and above nearby. Back in CA, I would feel pain with each little flare-up of earthquakes smaller than mag. 3 in the region. The seismicity on this side of the country is much lower for obvious reasons. I guess it would feel like something is about to pop when it comes to noticeable earthquakes. A couple months ago, a mag. 2.3 struck about 12 miles from where I live. It occurred overnight while everyone was in bed and that was too small to wake people up. It also occurred in a rural area. On Wednesday afternoon, a magnitude 2.3 struck near Chattanooga. I could have faintly felt some sensation beforehand, but not enough to thoroughly grab my attention. It was again, too small and it was more of a distance away. It is hard processing larger scale activity from all over the world and whatever may be going on in this region which is far away from any plate boundary. So far, I still feel a little tingly, so there could be more going on whether it be more significant events in the world or something a little closer to my location. 

October 8, 2021

 I have started to feel some acute pain in my left side this evening. Some more activity is starting back up in the world. I issued a second watch earlier today. I was still feeling a lot of energy though I felt a brief lull this afternoon. So far, it may become very active somewhere out there any time now. I'm feeling a lot of energy and warmth so far. There is a chance it could go away, but right now it is showing signs of heating up in the world.

October 5, 2021

 This morning, I suddenly felt sick. I was nauseous with a mild headache and even feeling some chills and body aches. I was also feeling some acute pains in my left side. I was not sure what was going on with me and suspected that I may have been coming down with something, but I was no longer nauseous after eating something. There is some more significant EQ activity going on out there in the world. A magnitude 5.6 struck off the coast of the Iwate Prefecture in Japan(northeastern Honshu) just less than an hour ago. Coincidentally, I happened to be feeling that strong desire to travel to Japan since early this morning. I just finished learning katakana when I checked the earthquake activity and saw what was going on in that part of the world. I have been wondering if I have a stronger connection to certain places than others. Some more seismic activity flared up in  Southern California today although it wasn't anything significant. I recall feeling the desire to travel to Alaska and it started acting up seismically. There has been more or less the same kind of activity taking place in Western and Eastern TN over the past week. What I have been feeling, I have wondered if there could potentially be something going on on this side of the country. So far, I'm feeling pressure in my side. I have also felt more spells of dizziness over the last day.

October 3, 2021

 I'm feeling a lot of pain in my left side running up my ribs. It is a throbbing pain and it started about a minute ago. I'm also feeling some stress this morning. I'm not sure what is going on. The other day after I issued the most recent World EQ Watch, I was feeling some side pains. It was hours before a large earthquake occurred somewhere in the world(mag. 7.3 - Vanuatu). I don't post in this blog everyday like I used to. I realize I should be more consistent and follow up with the watches I put out.

September 22, 2021

 There has been more significant activity occurring in the world over the past few days so far. It still feels active right now, but at the same time, it could stop for now. When it comes to these activity surges around the world, it feels like I have these imaginary strings or ribbons attached to me. It feels as though one or multiple ribbons grow tight and start tugging on me whenever something big might be taking place somewhere. Most of the time when I feel that tension, there is subsequently a lot of activity going on in the world. It can be within hours or a few days. I want to do more research and study cells and see what I can find. I have discovered a pattern involving my endocrine system and my circulatory system in accordance with the activity. I want to break it down to cells to try to find a connection there. I realized that I already achieved picking up on earthquakes before they happen. Although I have been really yearning to find out what a large one up close would feel like, I already have it down. Wherever I am in the world, that connection is always there and just as strong. It doesn't fade away as I travel or relocate to a less seismically active place. In tectonic boundaries, my sensitivity is more concentrated on the region although I have successfully detected large quakes elsewhere in the world beforehand. When I'm in the middle of a plate, my sensitivity is generally more focused everywhere else in the world. I realize that this has not been a failure. At this point, it is a matter of it being widely recognized. I have a good handful of followers on Twitter and am very grateful for that. I'm being careful not to come across like I'm bragging or some big shot to claims to predict earthquakes. This is something I have been practicing for a decade. I have not been so forthcoming and have in fact been shy and reclusive. At some point, I have to become more confident but at the same time not coming across like I have some talent nobody else has. This is not an attempt to become famous. It is nice to feel recognized sometimes. I put a lot of heart into this for years and I sometimes feel isolated like I'm experiencing this all alone. I know I'm not crazy. This is not something I made up in my head that I'm just imagining. I feel real physical pain. I always think of how there is a time and place for everything. I try to make peace with how I'm not in California anymore for a good reason and that I'm not missing anything - at least not anything I have not experienced before. I have gotten on the edge of my seat wondering "Could this be it? Could the 'big one' finally be happening soon?" whenever there was a surge in activity around Southern CA. After a swarm in or by the Salton Sea or where the count of small EQs over the last day would be up to over 100, it would end up receding back to the way it was a day or two later. That went on for years. I remember being so frustrated, desiring to travel to more active places in the meantime. I even had moments where the thought of it being another 10 years before the next major EQ in the region made me wish to move somewhere else more active like Alaska. Yet, I cannot help but miss living in California and it hits me hard on some days, especially whenever there is an increase in activity. I remember how I used to get excited whenever a mag. 3 or 4 occurred in the area. It is hard seeing that going on from way over here. It can be quite depressing at times. Then again, I remind myself that I'm probably not missing out on anything new. The next major earthquake may not be happening there any time soon and it could continue where there are 3s and occasional 4s for another 5-10 years. Although I cannot say that because we don't know what will end up happening, I have to be faithful that the Universe understands what I want and knows my heart.

September 17, 2021

 I'm not going to be making posts with updates every time I feel something going on or during every active window. However, I will make these kind of posts every so often. I just will not post as frequently as before. I have been feeling warmth this afternoon and just started feeling some mild throbbing pains in my left side. It feels like there could be some more significant activity going on somewhere in the world again any time or day now. I'm also not going to exclude the possibility of some activity occurring closer to my area any time or day now. It could be within 3-6 hours or 2-3 days at this point when something happens. These sensations may also subside and it could go quiet again.

A 12-Year Gestation

 The energy of the earth's geological forces has been long deeply woven into my system. It is as though it became a part of me. The seed was planted when I visited California for the first time in 2009, being the first time I made physical contact with a tectonic plate boundary. I was feeling a lot of pain in my side when I left, as soon as the plane left the ground. I felt some pain in my side before an earthquake struck North of the area I was in while there. It was a magnitude 4.6 near Trona and I was in the Hesperia and Victorville area. It was November 16, 2009. After that trip, I noticed that I was picking up on distant large earthquakes around the world from Florida. In the last 2 years of living in California, it evolved from the July 2019 Ridgecrest sequence. That was the largest earthquake I have been close enough to to be well felt. Throughout those years, I was mainly focused on the energy around Southern California South of the Garlock Fault, North of the Mexico border. After the 2019 earthquakes, it was developing to where I became more sensitive to the activity more than 100 miles North from my location. It was getting kind of far up there just before I moved away. Leaving California was the hardest thing I ever faced in my life. It felt as though a part of me inside was torn. I'm a little worried about how this may be impacting my circulatory system - like something has been cut off. I sometimes feel numbness and tingling on one side of my body. I get dizzy and feel weak and sometimes wake up to stabbing pains deep in one of my calves. I even have discovered small bruises on my legs. All I know is that I might become very ill if I stay in one place for too long. I don't feel very good circulation out here in Tennessee, far away from any plate margin. In the first month or two after arriving here, I was very lost. I then started realizing how I'm acutely sensitive to larger earthquakes around the world. It was expanding in California. Here, I'm keeping track of activity everywhere. I did that before, but here it seems magnified 2-fold. It was like that in Florida now that I remember. I have been surprised by side pains before a big earthquake somewhere else in the world. I have also realized the significant difference between earthquake vibrations and artificial sources. Seismic waves don't make sound and for me, it is deeply visceral. A lot of people describe their experience of an earthquake as watching everything around them move. For me, it leaves me breathless. It feels like something shocked me. It even feels like I move along with the energy. It courses up my body like an intense hot spasm. There are people who experience totally physical effects from an earthquake. Many people become nauseous and experience motion sickness from a decent-sized quake.

Summary: 9/3/21

 Instead of writing down what I'm feeling everyday in this blog, I'm considering posting less frequent posts summarizing what I have experienced over the past few weeks. I also am piecing together how my monthly cycle varies depending on the global activity because I have noticed a pattern. Whenever there was a dramatic surge in earthquake activity around the world during ovulation week, it feels like my hormones(primarily estrogen) go into overdrive. I start feeling euphoric to the point to where it becomes overwhelming. This happened to me this past month and in May. It seems to set me up for a bad period(endo flare-up). However, my periods are easier whenever there is an abundant amount of activity in the world during my time. During the heavier days, before a large quake was about to happen somewhere, I have experienced uterine pressure and discomfort accompanied with side pains then instant relief after it happens. This happened to me in California when it came to activity around the region. This is not to say that I'm at the mercy of the earthquake activity every month. I know I have to really be strict about my diet from now on and not wait until the day before menstruation to watch everything I put in my body. I should incorporate other exercises such as planking and also meditating and reducing stress in my life. I have not been very disciplined in that area. The global activity has also been known to affect my mood and energy. Whenever it is low, so is my energy and I can often find myself in a negative state where I can be depressed, irritable, and an emotional train wreck. That does not always happen. Especially after there has been a lot of activity most recently, I'm fine. Whenever there is due to be more going on and it becomes stagnant, that is where it tends to affect me negatively. I have discovered that artificial seismic waves do not help reduce my pain. Last Thursday when I was in having an endometriosis attack, an explosion happened at a local quarry sending a shock wave through the house. It did not relieve my pain like a natural event would. The seismic waves from an earthquake are deeply visceral and produce no loud noise. I also feel pain and discomfort just before an earthquake. I'm not connected to any anthropogenic(man-made) sources.

 8/27/21 5:19 p.m.(CDT)

I'm starting to feel some pressure in my left side. I have started to feel some energy as well and feeling lightheaded. I also was feeling some pelvic pressure moments ago as it is that time(day 2). I was in a significant amount of pain at one point yesterday. There was not much going on in the world. I noticed that during mid-cycle when all that activity was going on, I felt an extreme high - estrogen levels peak during mid-cycle(ovulation) and then I hit a dramatic low in the days leading up to menstruation. I was extremely depressed earlier this week where I had crying jags throughout Tuesday and was feeling exhausted the next day. The earthquake activity does have an influence on my hormones and menstrual cycle. This happened before back in May where an extreme increase in significant earthquake activity around the world landed during the middle of my cycle and I was overwhelmed. When that happens, I either hope more happens around the time I start or else I do better taking care of my body and be more proactive.

8/28/21 12:26 p.m.(CDT)

So far, some more moderate earthquakes have occurred in the world, but nothing big. I was not feeling so much today. However, I just now may be feeling a twinge in my side. I woke up to some deep leg pain this morning. There has not been any new small quakes reported anywhere near my neck of the woods over the past day or two. The closest was a mag. 2.3 in western Virginia late last night.

8/29/21 2:24 p.m.(CDT)

I was not feeling much at all lately and there has not been much going on in terms of earthquakes around the world. However, I just now started feeling some pain and discomfort welling up in my left side.

8/29/21 7:07 p.m.(CDT)

Some more earthquakes have flared up in the world. I'm now feeling some discomfort in my left side again. More aftershock activity has flared up in the South Sandwich Islands so far.

8/30/21 9:27 a.m.(CDT)

I started feeling some mild pain in my left side about 20 minutes ago. I felt some more pain just now. I have not felt much at all lately as there has been relatively little going on in the world in terms of earthquakes. However, a magnitude 2.7 occurred in Eastern TN this morning.

8/31/21 8:09 a.m.(CDT)

I woke up feeling some mild pain in my side. It was a throbbing pain and I feel some heaviness. A mag. 6.3 struck the Kermadec Islands hours ago(last night Central Daylight Time). I was feeling pressure to make a new post earlier yesterday evening, but was struggling to find my bearings and didn't have the strength. I was also busy with other things. At this point, it feels like there may be more significant activity going on in the world any time or day now. It also feels like there could be more coming up closer to where I am. Yesterday morning at 8:13, a magnitude 2.7 struck Eastern Tennessee - 112 miles away. Last Wednesday, a mag. 2.3 hit 14 miles from my location.

9/1/21 10:56 a.m.(CDT)

I'm starting to feel some pain in my left side once more. More moderate earthquake activity has occurred over the past 24 hours. My side has also been extra tender and sensitive from an exercise I do every now and then.

9/1/21 8:29 p.m.(CDT)

Some more moderate seismic activity was starting up in the world earlier as well as some more activity throughout parts of the United States. However, I have not been feeling pain in my side for hours now. It stopped and there has not been much else going on out there. However, I'm feeling a constant mild discomfort in my side and there is a chance more could happen overnight. At the same time, I will not be surprised if it stays overall quiet out there for now.

August 21-26, 2021

 8/21/21 12:18 p.m.(CDT)

I have hardly been feeling any symptoms over the last two days. However, I did start to feel a mild aching in my left side just less than an hour ago. I'm not sure if that has to do with what may be going on in the world or closer to my area. There has been some more seismic activity increasing around TN and a few other parts of the South lately.

8/21/21 6:42 p.m.(CDT)

I just felt a more acute pain in my left side just now. Earlier, those symptoms diminished, but I'm just now feeling some pain again as well as feeling lightheaded.

8/22/21 7:58 a.m.(CDT)

I figured the source was a mag. 6.8 aftershock in the South Sandwich Islands. It happened about an hour after I started feeling some acute pain in my side. I have started feeling a little pain in my side this morning after waking up. It feels like there may be more going on out there again. There may also be more going on in parts of the country. A mag. 3.9 struck Oklahoma earlier.

8/22/21 5:48 p.m.(CDT)

A mag. 7.0 aftershock just hit the South Sandwich Islands. I'm also feeling some sharp somatic pains in my side.

8/22/21 7:06 p.m.(CDT)

I am feeling weak and lightheaded right now. It is almost scary. I'm also extremely tender and feel more emotional. Much of that has to do with a monthly thing, but I'm also extremely sensitive to all these earthquakes going on in the world. It is possible there could also be some energy close by. My side still hurts a lot.

8/23/21 10:45 p.m.(CDT)

I have felt a few pangs today, but otherwise, not so much. I have, however, felt bouts of dizziness. It still might be warm out there. I may not be feeling as much pain as yesterday, but I'm still feeling some things.

8/24/21 12:09 p.m.(CDT)

I feel some pain in my left side, though it isn't intense. Overnight a magnitude 6.1 struck the Kuril Islands. It is showing signs of more significant activity in the world. There has been some moderate activity going on in Central America and the Northern Mariana Islands.

8/25/21 4:49 p.m.(CDT)

I was not feeling so much throughout much of the day until about 20 minutes ago. I have felt a dull aching pain in my left side. There are signs of more significant activity in the world. Overnight, at 1:19, a mag. 2.3 quake happened 14 miles from where I live. I was in bed at the time, but it has been the closest event since I moved here. I felt some pain in my side before going to bed, but it has been active throughout parts of the world.

8/26/21 1:14 p.m.(CDT)

There was some moderate earthquake activity occurring yesterday evening/last night in the world, but there has not been much else going on since. I just started feeling some pain in my left side.

Falling into place

 I sure hope that it is in my fate that I'm in the right place at the right time when it comes to earthquakes. So far, nothing has really changed in Southern California since I left 5 months ago. There has not been anything significant there, nothing I have not already experienced before. I hope it stays that way until I can get back there. Over here, far away from a tectonic plate boundary, there may not be mag. 3s and 4s happening around here often, but I pick up more on larger earthquakes around the world. It has been extremely active throughout parts of the world this year and I believe I have done a good job detecting something beforehand. I hope it will not be much longer before this is taken to the next level where I end up traveling somewhere more active in time for a large event that I will experience up close for the first time. I was so depressed about having to leave California, not only because I have grown roots after living there for 8 years, but I also felt like I was finally getting somewhere or hoped I would and more significant events happen. Chances are, if none of this had ever happened, everything would be remaining the same as of today. I would have been working that same job five days a week and it would have been grueling with these long stretches of no activity at all in the area. My hormones would have been driving me insane and I might be suffering more bad periods. My temper has died down considerably since being here. I don't have outbursts like I used to at home or feel like I'm frothing at the mouth at times. Chances are, it could be another decade or possibly longer before the big one finally happens there. I at least can only hope it will not be anytime soon, as long as I'm not there. I know I would rather have a better chance of catching big ones as I travel to different places than be stuck in the same place, waiting until I'm 50 for the big one to happen. I just have to stay faithful of how it will all fall into place. I know that I may be more vigilant on large earthquakes around the world here and detecting them better, but after a while, it may put strain on my body and it can be overwhelming. I still feel that I'm better off being ventilated along a plate boundary. It feels like something has been cut off after moving here. I can only pray and trust that I will travel and relocate to a better source and brought somewhere in time to pick up on something big nearby and somehow warning others.

August 15-19, 2021

8/15/21 6:18 p.m.(CDT) 

I feel a little bit of a throbbing pain in my left side. It was finally settling down out there earlier, but there is a chance it could be starting up again. I was not feeling much pain or dizziness today. I just now started feeling some of those peculiar symptoms again.

8/15/21 6:48 p.m.(CDT)

I felt a sudden headache and lightheaded minutes ago. I also just started to feel more of a throbbing pain in my side.

8/16/21 7:49 p.m.(CDT)

I felt a few throbbing pains in my side throughout the day, including when I was just waking up this morning. There were a few significant aftershocks from the Falkland Islands region. I have overall felt lightheaded, weak, and spent all day. I have also felt some tingling and spasms throughout my body.

8/17/21 3:00 p.m.(CDT)

I am feeling some discomfort in my left side. I felt a brief spike in energy earlier as some more significant activity occurred in the Fiji Islands region and a strong aftershock in the South Sandwich Islands region. I felt sudden bouts of dizziness over the past hour and feel some tension in my legs at I was walking up stairs.

8/18/21 7:00 a.m.(CDT)

I have felt a searing pain in my left side on and off overnight. I was debating whether or not to get up and say something, but I was extremely tired. There is definitely more serious activity going on in the world. A magnitude 6.9 occurred in Vanuatu about an hour ago.

8/18/21 9:46 p.m.(CDT)

I still feel some pressure in my left side. There was a magnitude 2.1 in Western TN late this afternoon. There was also a 2.1 in Eastern TN last night. I may have felt some more pain, but I'm not sure what is going on next. There has been more activity heating up throughout parts of the U.S. There could still be another magnitude 6 or greater going on somewhere in the world anytime now, but at the same time, it may be finally settling down after so much in one week.

8/19/21 1:46 p.m.(CDT)

I'm feeling some pressure in my side and I'm feeling warm. There may be something going on again somewhere. There could also be something going on here in the states or North America(mag. 4+) any time now or within the coming days. At this point, I'm not sure as there has already been a lot of serious activity in one week this past week, but there is still a chance for more mag. 6+ somewhere or more activity taking place across parts of the country or within 2-3,000 miles.

8/19/21 10:05 p.m.(CDT)

The feelings diminished quickly and I felt there was nothing significant going on anywhere in the world. However, as I am getting ready to go to bed, I felt a little pain in my side, though it was short lived. 

August 9-14, 2021

 8/9/21 10:45 p.m.(CDT)

I just started feeling some pain in my left side again after a quiet day. Some more activity may be increasing in the world. There was a moderate quake in Myanmar just now.

8/10/21 12:41 p.m.(CDT)

I am feeling some more pressure in my left side now. It may be showing signs of becoming more active in the world again. A new, yet very small earthquake was reported in the New Madrid Seismic Zone earlier(magnitude 1.9). I know that would not be anything notable and I doubt anyone over there felt it, but it can lead to something more notable later. That is not out of the realm of possibility. There could also be some more activity going on in the Eastern part of Tennessee or the Appalachians. Earthquakes on this side of the country do not always ring up on the USGS monitor - In fact, most are not reported right away. The side pressure is starting to escalate into more of a pain.

8/11/21 2:39 p.m.(CDT)

I was not feeling much at first this morning, but I started to feel some pain and discomfort in my side at around 10:30 or 11. I felt a pain run up my legs earlier. There was not much going on when I first woke up, but it changed a couple of hours later. A major earthquake struck the Philippines at 12:46 p.m. in this timezone. I'm still feeling some pain and soreness now.

8/12/21 8:03 p.m.(CDT)

Another powerful earthquake occurred in the world today. A magnitude 7.5 struck the South Sandwich Islands this afternoon. This felt like a slow-burning event today, meaning the side pain and pressure was ongoing and did not suddenly hit me. I'm continuing to feel some pain in my side. There may also be some more activity going on in parts of North America(mag. 4+). It may also be from more significant activity elsewhere.

8/12/21 8:50 p.m.(CDT)

About 10 minutes ago, I was continuing to feel some pain in my side. I suddenly felt a deeper, aching type of pain in my left side.

8/13/21 11:03 a.m.(CDT)

I just felt a more acute pain in my side. It hit me like a throbbing pulse and it was a sharp pain. I do not feel those kind of pains often anymore. I felt those more frequently in California. I was waken up by some side pains overnight or early this morning. I looked at the seismograph stations around Tennessee and it looked like something happened in eastern TN this morning just before 7 O'Clock, around the time I was just getting up. I looked at other seismograph stations further away and across the country and it seemed to taper off the further away from eastern TN it was. Events are frequently missed or reported hours or a day or two later on this side of the country. It also still feels like it is active in the world in terms of significant activity.

8/14/21 8:22 a.m.(CDT)

I'm feeling a lot of throbbing pains in my left side. I have been in some pain lately and have been overwhelmed and confused. There has been so much going on in the world lately. I have never seen it this active. A major earthquake just struck Haiti. I was waking up to the initial reports. I'm very concerned for the residents of the area. I'm hoping it is not the 2010 disaster all over again. It occurred in a different location from the 2010 earthquake. This one was 60-odd miles west of the one that happened 11 years ago. It was also along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault. Another section of it ruptured this morning. I have been confused and feeling inundated lately. I have been feeling a lot over the past several days and was wondering if there was possibly something going on close to where I am.

8/14/21 12:36 p.m.(CDT)

I'm still feeling some throbbing pains in my left side. I have also been feeling spasms throughout my body over the past day or two. That is another symptom I notice that corresponds with all this activity going on(before, during, and after). I really wish I could have stressed more about how much was going on. There is never any telling for sure, but I'm worried I undershot it when I executed that new watch several days ago. I had a feeling a lot was about to take place in the world, but was not sure how active it was going to get. I was again speculating the possibility of something going on closer to where I live - Not necessarily a large event, but something. It was unclear.

August 4-8, 2021

8/4/21 9:11 a.m.(CDT) 

I deleted a post I made this morning. I was just waking up and was not sure what was going on. I figured out a new system. Whenever I'm feeling side pains or discomfort, dizziness(sometimes accompanied by a headache), pain running up legs and pushing down arms, raised energy and body temperature, restlessness, and anxiety, I will post about it and when I started feeling it. Then I will post what happens later in terms of earthquakes in the world or closer to my area. So far, I'm still feeling a lot. There may not be that much going on in the world right now, but it feels like there may be more significant activity taking place somewhere out there within the next several days at this point. I was feeling pain in my side on and off yesterday afternoon and in the evening. There was a lot of activity taking place in Japan and more moderate earthquakes occurring in other regions. I feel some mild acute pain in my left side now. A pain woke me up this morning. I have also felt sudden bouts of dizziness. I'm feeling warm and energetic. It may also have an effect on my mood. I have also experienced significant mood swings in days leading up to a surge in significant activity in the world or perhaps more going on closer to my location. I will find out and see how long this lasts.

8/4/21 9:49 p.m.(CDT)

Sure enough, more earthquakes occurred in the world today in the mid to upper mag. 5 range, including a magnitude 5.8 off the NE coast of Taiwan. I did feel it lull shortly after that this evening, but I'm starting to feel some more pain and discomfort in my side again as there are signs of more activity firing up in the world again.

8/5/21 9:02 p.m.(CDT)

It was a much calmer day today in terms of global activity. It feels like I'm still partially in Southern California as I have felt some sensations each time there was some more activity going on there. Throughout most of the day, I was feeling less until just now. I just started feeling a little acute pain in my left side.

8/5/21 9:58 p.m.(CDT)

As of right now, I'm not sure what is going on. The pain I felt an hour ago was rather short-lived. I'm still feeling a bit of pressure there, but I'm about to go to bed. While there is still a chance of more serious activity going on in the world anytime now or this weekend, it could become quiet after it has been very active out there over the past 2 weeks. There could be something going on around the North American continent somewhere that may not necessarily be a significant event, but more activity in parts of the country or something closer to where I am.

8/6/21 12:33 p.m.(CDT)

There was some more moderate earthquakes occurring in the world overnight and it looked like it was starting to become more active again this morning, but then it stopped. However, I just started feeling some acute pain in my left side a few minutes ago.

8/7/21 10:44 a.m.(CDT)

It was not a very active day yesterday, but there was one magnitude 5.9 in the South Sandwich Islands region. I have started feeling some pain in my left side again this morning and I still feel some now along with heat and raised heart rate. There is some more activity going on in the world now. A pair of mag. 5.3s hit the Solomon Islands.

8/7/21 1:13 p.m.(CDT)

The pain has subsided over the past 2-3 hours. There was not much else going on after that. However, I'm not totally devoid of any sensations right now. I may be feeling a pressure coming on in my side. I'm still warm.

8/7/21 6:54 p.m.(CDT)

I just felt a pain in my side minutes ago. I'm also feeling an increase in energy and body temperature.

8/8/21 7:56 a.m.(CDT)

There was a magnitude 5.0 in the Galapagos Triple Junction region and some more activity around the North American continent. I have noticed that the pain and energy does not necessarily come from potentially large earthquakes from around the world, but mag. 4+ within about 2,000 miles. It could also stretch to 3,000 miles. I noticed that I have also been more sensitive to activity taking place in Alaska. At this point, it does not feel like much else is going on for now.

8/8/21 3:53 p.m.(CDT)

I was feeling some discomfort in my side earlier this morning on the way to church, but did not feel much after that. However, I just felt a more acute, though short-lived pain in my side. There may just now be more significant activity going on in the world again any time now. There may also just be a stronger aftershock off the Alaskan peninsula or more activity increasing around North America. 

July 31-Aug. 2, 2021

 I noticed that whenever the activity around the world spikes to extreme levels the way it did and then some, I end up feeling hyper and overstimulated. That is what happened last time back in May. That one very active day with strong earthquakes in parts of the world back-to-back was overwhelming. I did not ever feel that way back in California. I was more focused on the region living on two tectonic plates, the energy would not be pooling inside of me like that when there was a surge in large earthquakes around the world. It feels like a roller coaster living over here when it comes of global activity. I feel depressed and my energy is very low when there is nothing going on in the world for a while, but whenever the activity hits extreme proportions, I end up burning up and crashing later on. I ended up going to bed extremely late last night and I'm not proud of it. Having a second home in Alaska is part of the divine plan and I would be much better off there. I need that circulation. I'm afraid this could lead to a stroke one day. 

August 1, 2021 9:52 a.m.(CDT)

I was not feeling much all day yesterday as the activity around the world was settling down. However, I feel some mild pressure in my left side. There is a chance more significant activity could start up in the world again today.

7:29 p.m.(CDT)

I felt some more pain in my left side on and off today. I also just now noticed that my side is also very tender and sore. I'm not sure what exactly is causing that. It may be from the recent surge in activity or potentially something going on close by or somewhere around North America. There were a couple of small tremors recorded in eastern TN yesterday evening. There could still be a potential for more serious activity elsewhere in the world.

8/2/21 5:27 p.m.(CDT)

There was some more significant activity in the world late last night, including a mag. 5.9 west of Papua New Guinea. There may just now be more going on after a relatively slow day. I felt some dizziness earlier and I'm starting to feel a little bit of discomfort in my left side. There is also some more activity flaring up in parts of North America. There is also some activity flaring up in Japan.

July 25-30, 2021

7/25/21 10:01 a.m.(CDT)

I'm getting ready to leave for church this morning and it still feels like it is active out there in the world. I'm feeling some pressure or a discomfort in my left side and I'm feeling warm so far. I checked the seismographs around Tennessee and something did show up on several seismometers in Eastern TN. The USGS may have not rung it up yet. I'm guessing they sometimes miss earthquakes on this side of the country. It is possible there could be more going on in this part of the country, but I'm also feeling more significant activity from other parts of the world or maybe some activity back in Southern CA. I will be doing some more research on intraplate earthquake zones.

7/27/21 6:58 p.m.(CDT)

I have been feeling some pain in my left side again late this afternoon and this evening. I even have a mild headache. Since the last entry, there was some more significant activity continuing out there in the world, but it started to wind back down today. However, it could be starting back up again any time now. There could also be more taking place in North America - across parts of the U.S., the west, and Alaska. I'm not implying serious activity might be going on somewhere in these areas, but at least more mag. 3 or 4+ any time or day now. It is uncertain where exactly it may be coming from. There were a couple of new small events closest to my location overnight and this morning. I'm not sure what may be going on at this point.

7/28/21 11:41 a.m.(CDT)

I have been feeling some sharp pains in my side on and off since last night. I discovered that I may also be picking up on more activity within about a 2-3,000 mile radius. I'm talking about mag. 3s and 4s. I either may not have paid enough attention to that before or just developed my senses even more. After I started feeling all that and suspecting that there would be more mag. 3-4+ quakes occurring within those distances, there were indeed more mag. 3-4+ quakes happening. More mag. 3+ occurred in Central and Northern California and Nevada as well as Alaska. A magnitude 4.3 struck Western Texas about an hour ago and some more activity has occurred in Mexico and Northern South America(mag. 4+). I'm still feeling a lot right now. I'm not sure whether it is coming from more activity in North America and/or Central America(anywhere within a 2-3,000 mile radius) or potential bigger events elsewhere in the world.

7/29/21 7:54 a.m.(CDT)

I was feeling a lot on and off all day yesterday, especially by the afternoon and evening. I was feeling some acute pain in my side and I also had headaches, dizziness, and even vertigo. It was also day two of my monthly flow, so I was also feeling a lot of burning abdominal pressure on top of that. At one point, I was wondering if there could be something going on close by. Late last night, a magnitude 8.2 struck off the coast of the Alaska Peninsula. That must have been what I was feeling all day. It felt like it was coming from that direction of somewhere in North America. Before I moved over here, I don't think I was as acutely sensitive to earthquakes that far away in California. I was more concentrated on what was going on in the area I was living in.

9:27 a.m.(CDT)

I also noticed that my cheeks were red this morning and I have been feeling very warm. My energy has been very high.

7/30/21 8:20 a.m.(CDT)

That was quite a powerful earthquake the other night. I cannot get over how strong my physical symptoms were with it being so far away from where I was. I can hardly imagine what I would be feeling if that were up close. What would that be like? I was feeling a lot of energy late that afternoon and evening. It was my time and a heavy day so my pelvis was burning and I felt like I was being squeezed inside. It grew quite uncomfortable and lasted about an hour. My left side was hurting a lot. I was even wondering if there was something going on around here, that was how strong the feelings were. There was a lull in these sensations a few hours later leading up to the event. I have noticed before how these symptoms can either set in very quick, just minutes before an earthquake or they gradually form and intensify and settle down hours ahead. It still strikes me how I have become more sensitive to strong earthquakes so far away. I believe it may become magnified away from a plate boundary, whereas on a plate boundary, it is more concentrated on the stress and energy in the region. It feels like that magnitude 8.2 was very satisfying. I feel relieved and I'm still energized especially after two months of very little significant activity in the world.

10:59 a.m.(CDT)

I just started feeling some pain in my left side moments ago. It was a deep, gnawing pain radiating towards my back and I just started feeling lightheaded again. 

4:40 p.m.(CDT)

Just over an hour after the last report when I started feeling it again, a magnitude 6.1 struck northwestern Peru near the border of Ecuador. I still feel a lot of energy. I have also felt some dizziness as well.

7:27 p.m.(CDT)

I may have to make this the last day for this post as it has been busy lately and it is growing long. I'm feeling a little acute pain in my left side and I have been feeling very warm and energized, almost overstimulated. It does not feel like it is over just yet. There still may be more going on somewhere so far.

A Summary: 7/24/21

 I'm going to be making sure I limit my mention of my menstrual cycle. It has been very complicated and unpredictable since I moved here. I had much more structure in California. Since I moved here in March, I was observing the first two months as less painful because there had most recently been a lot of significant earthquake activity in the world and had been wrung out and replenished. My periods started becoming painful again in early May and I noticed there was less activity lately. After that, it was complicated and was no longer adding up, so I'm planning on just narrowing the sensations down to flank pain, dizziness, high or low energy, and body temperature. How I suspect when a spike in significant activity around the world might be imminent is by being aware of not only when I feel pain or tenderness in my side, but also an increase in body temperature and energy. I have felt a lot of pains in my side and general pressure and sensitivity there over the past few days as there has been a lot of significant activity going on worldwide. I have also been feeling quite warm. I'm still feeling all that now so far. At this point, I'm not sure how I will fare this month. I'm due on Monday and I plan on having no alcohol tomorrow night and no coffee on Monday morning. I will at least have very little coffee that day. I feel like I will have to watch everything I put in my body on the first day of the period. I know I need to go to Alaska. I feel it around the corner. I'm already planning my first trip there. I cannot stay in Tennessee for very long. I know I do not do well staying put in the same area for long periods. I can end up getting very ill. I've feared that this could be harmful to my circulation. It could put extra strain on me as I'm tracking earthquakes from around the world from here, far away from a plate boundary after being uprooted from one I lived on for 8 years. I have felt dizzy and tired frequently, felt tingling, spasms, and numbness and some headaches. I even noticed small bruises on my legs that were not from a forgotten clumsy moment. I could not expect these two seismic zones to do very much. They spew a few very small earthquakes every 2-3 days, but nothing jarring, nothing big enough to actually reach me. If I felt an earthquake here, I would probably cry tears of relief, especially if I were in pain and physically sick and that pushed it all out of me like it did that time back in CA. Stronger earthquakes are possible in this part of the country. Intraplate earthquake zones have been hard to understand and I want to study those some more and how they activate. I know people would not be so sympathetic of my situation when it comes to this, but I will assure you that there does not necessarily need to be a big earthquake to relieve my pain and invigorate me. I appreciate just a gentle rolling or a quick abrupt jolt. I believe that Alaska would be the place I need to be as it is the most seismically active state in the country. I think about how strong I would be up there. I sort of feel like I'm turning to mush here. I still stay in shape, but I have felt very weak lately. It is a significant difference from when I was in California. 

July 19-22, 2021

 I have been feeling some minor pain and discomfort in my side this morning. There are signs of more significant activity going on in the world again. A mag. 5.5 struck near Papua New Guinea. There was more strong earthquake activity taking place in the world this weekend. I noticed that I have not been depressed and my energy has been significantly higher. I discovered that before a sudden spike in activity around the world, I feel dizziness accompanied with a minor headache. This has happened before. I was shuffling my posts in my other blog where I hemmed and hawed over whether to make a new post or not. I ended up making an outlook even though there was a chance it could change where I made a new post the next day.

10:38 p.m.(CDT)

I just felt a brief strong pain in my left side as I'm about to go to bed. I felt some minor pain and discomfort there a few times today.

7/20/21

7:39 p.m.(CDT)

I woke up this morning feeling somewhat depressed and my energy was low again. The activity came to a halt, but it just now may be increasing again. I'm feeling some minor pain and tenderness in my side. About the pain I felt last night before I went to bed, I figured it may have been coming from my connection back in Southern California, but then I discovered I may have a connection to activity in Alaska. I'm not sure because I have not been there yet. I will find out and see if the same thing happens again where a magnitude 3 or larger occurs in that area and I feel pain. There are certain areas in the world that I may be more sensitive to than others, especially around the Northern Pacific Ring of Fire.

7/21/21 12:45 p.m.(CDT)

I initially woke up feeling somewhat depressed this morning as there was not enough activity going on out there, but that quickly changed. I felt some side pain and a mag. 6.0 struck Papua New Guinea earlier. I felt a stronger pain in my left side at 12:30 when I was making a new update in the Seismic Fox blog. I will have to find out what happens later. 

7/22/21 3:28 p.m.(CDT)

I felt some pain in my left side about 20 minutes ago. I'm feeling a little bit now. My energy has been higher since yesterday as there has been a lot of earthquake activity in the world. I have also been feeling a lot of warmth.

8:41 p.m.(CDT)

There was some more activity flaring up in Southern California this afternoon. That was around that time I started to feel some pain again. I have also been feeling very lightheaded a lot today and yesterday. I felt dizzy and even sick this evening. I'm not sure what may be going on. I even have a mild headache right now. I will continue to document this and see whether or not the global activity, activity back in Southern CA or even possibly something going on closer to where I am has anything to do with this. I'm hydrated and have not done anything harmful to my health or overdid it with exercise. It was not a particularly stressful day either. The only other possible culprit would be PMS. I'm due on Monday, but I'm not having a difficult time like I did last month so far. A lot of energy has been released around the world over the last 2 days. I do feel some tenderness and mild pain in my left side right now.

July 10-15, 2021

 I'm posting here again today as there has been a lot going on in the world and I have been feeling a lot. Yesterday evening, I was feeling pressure in the left side. I was not feeling much pain, but I was feeling some pressure and discomfort there. My energy also increased to a certain point where I was anticipating there to be a magnitude 6 or larger somewhere in the world at any moment. There ended up being one within an hour. I notice that there have been times where it felt like it was going to become active out there, but then I would feel it drag. There was also a mag. 5.8 in Tajikistan less than 2 hours after a 6.1 in the Molucca Sea region. I am feeling a lot of pressure in my left side right now. I posted an update in the other blog as there may still be a lot going on out there. I'm not sure whether this discomfort could indicate activity closer to my area, but I imagine the symptoms being more acute.

July 11, 2021 - 8:13 a.m.(CDT)

I will start extending these entries for a period of several days depending on what is going on. I felt pressure in my left side earlier yesterday and a few side pains, but there was not really that much going on. I noticed that I was feeling more irritable and somewhat depressed later on. I perked up a little when some more activity started to occur out there in the world late yesterday, but I woke up this morning feeling low again. However, I have started feeling pressure in my left side again. It is sort of throbbing right now. My energy is still low, but I will find out and see what happens later. I noticed that there appeared to be an event in Eastern TN on one of the seismographs. Earthquakes in this part of the country are usually never reported right off the bat. Some may even be missed. It seems this area is not well understood.

7/12/21 8:50 a.m.(CDT)

Yesterday morning, a small earthquake in Eastern TN was confirmed - a mag. 2.2 near the town of Kingston, 111 miles from my location. It was at 6:36 yesterday morning. Yesterday evening and last night, I noticed that I was falling into a depressed state. I felt discomfort in my side yesterday afternoon, but I became depressed later that evening. The activity around the world was low again. I was feeling a little discomfort in my left side before going to bed. There is still little going on in terms of significant earthquake activity around the world, but there were a couple of new quakes in Eastern TN yesterday afternoon. A mag. 2.3 occurred near Maryville at 3:21 p.m. and a mag. 2.0 occurred in that same area 26 minutes later. Both were around 135 miles from my location. Plus a micro quake occurred near Ridgely, TN in the New Madrid Seismic Zone a few hours earlier. I am feeling a little bit of pressure and tingling in my side right now. I also noticed that I have felt some deep phantom vibrations over the last 2 days on and off, though not too frequently.

7/13/21 - 11:13 a.m.(CDT)

I made a mistake yesterday, but corrected it. Those two small earthquakes in Eastern TN occurred on Sunday afternoon, not early yesterday morning. I don't know how I could misread the time like that. It was pretty quiet throughout much of yesterday. Later on, there was some more significant activity taking place in the Kuril Islands region. This morning, I started to feel a little bit of throbbing in my left side at around 9:20. I have sort of felt it on and off since, but I'm playing it by ear. It feels like something coming up, but not happening just yet(from past experiences with these type of sensations).

7/14/21 - 5:24 p.m.(CDT)

There has not been enough activity going on out there in the world lately. I was feeling moody and withdrawn throughout the day as well as tired. However, I have started feeling some deep throbbing pains in my side over the past 30 minutes. There could be more going on. I'm still feeling fatigue, but it may change anytime now or tomorrow. I will go get some vitamin D from the sun as that can help with a depressed mood. There has not been a major surge in earthquake activity in the world in a while.

7/15/21 - 9:58 a.m.(CDT)

I woke up feeling even worse this morning. I have been extremely tired and irritated this morning. It feels like I have multiple things weighing me down from inside, extending for thousands of miles. I made myself jump up and down several times just now to try to increase my energy levels. I even had to drink some more coffee. So far, neither of those are helping right now. I may post in here again today if I feel significant changes later on. The activity around the world is staying low so far. There has not been any new reported events in the surrounding areas either. At this point, it does not feel like it will become active at all until this weekend or next week. However, it may still change.

10:01 p.m.(CDT)

As I'm about to go to bed, I'm feeling some discomfort in my left side and some spasms running up my legs. I'm not sure if there will be anything going on anywhere overnight or by the morning, but I am feeling something now. At this point, there could be something going on somewhere whether it be something closer to my area or something large somewhere in the world any time now. Something could be coming up, but I will find out how I feel the next morning and what is going on out there.

July 9, 2021

 Yesterday, I started to feel some side pain and I felt light-headed at times. I noticed another small bruise on my leg which I know was not an injury I accidentally inflicted onto myself from a forgotten clumsy moment. It was located on my upper thigh. I also had one that was older and fading on my knee. These were very small bruises. I have felt random aches and pains up and down my arms and legs and a few spasms. I have noticed that I feel like I have lost a good deal of strength and get very sore and tender at times since we moved. I have also been scared this change may have also exacerbated this chronic health condition that I have where the pain is worse at a certain time of month. It seems like very little can help with the lack of seismic waves that would be enough to deeply flush everything out and help remove acidosis and inflammation. I feel like my health could slowly be starting to fail and I could end up developing something like cancer someday if I don't get out of here or at least do a lot of traveling in the meantime. I realized that staying put or staying in the same area for prolonged periods is my enemy. This may have not been a known cross that I bear until I visited California for the first time and being on a plate boundary. Before then, I have never been anywhere outside of the Southeastern United States. I have also most recently discovered another complicated factor. From here, I feel energy building up to critical points more strongly at certain distances. When it comes to distances between 200-2,000 miles(roughly less than 3,000 miles), the sensations are more vague. When it comes to activity in California, I noticed that I have tingling feelings and almost feel spasms and just general discomfort. I lived there for almost a decade, so it is still deeply part of my root system so whenever more activity increases there, especially in Southern California, it affects me over here, in a peculiar way that is. I have also noticed that my face had broken out during that big flare-up of activity there last month. There was a magnitude 6 up there near the border with Nevada, close to Mono Lake yesterday evening or late afternoon. I felt some side pains(but nothing strong) after that and some small spasms and aching in my arms and legs. When it comes to impending earthquakes at distances around 3,000-7,500 miles, I feel things more distinctly. I felt pain in my left side before a mag. 6+ in Japan recently as well as a strong earthquake in Alaska and a big one over in Western China. However, I seem to feel more from earthquake activity in the Northern Hemisphere - I may start to feel less below 30 degrees latitude. It would make sense as every one of my places of residence throughout my life has been within the 30 degree latitude range. In fact, the only time in my life I have ever been outside of that range was when I took a connected flight in Chicago almost 2 years ago. I felt pain before a strong quake in Japan, but did not feel as much when it came to significant activity in the Fiji Islands. I will continue to study and do further research on this.

July 7, 2021 - Summary

There has definitely been a significant difference since I moved here to Tennessee far away from a tectonic plate boundary. I have been feeling less aggressive as there is no longer that energy where I would sort of go mad when there were these long periods of little or no seismic activity in the area. I have felt significantly less aggressive since I got here, even though I deeply miss where I was and did not want to move. I have not felt any sudden stabbing pains in my side since California. I felt sharp side pains frequently over there. I seldom feel those here. I may have felt some strong pains in my side, but they did not get as severe and again, I no longer feel acute pain in my side as often. It is funny how I have been open to moving to Tennessee before one day after the big one were to hit Southern California, but down inside I did not feel that way. I was essentially just feeling nostalgic. I was feeling all these symptoms and changes in my body during my last year there where I was starting to believe it was finally about to become more active there. That was what really made me not want to move. I hated for me to be absent and miss that opportunity to see what that is like whenever something large finally hits the area. That is not to say a strong earthquake in Tennessee is not possible. There is a chance for me to feel something here. It has just seemed less likely, but you never know. I do pick up on activity from around the world more distinctly here. It is like energy is magnified on this side of the country. Earthquakes are felt more widely on the Eastern half of the United States. I wonder if they would hurt more. If a mag. 3 were to strike close to this town, would the pain I felt beforehand be worse than what I felt back in the mountains of Southern CA when a mag. 3 occurred down in San Bernardino. I really hope to find that out very soon. In the meantime, I started to feel that it was finally showing some signs of becoming active in the world late last night, prompting me to make a new post before going to bed. I felt some energy this morning, but it did not last and I started feeling irritability again as it went back down. However, I'm just now perking up again. There may be more going on out there now.

July 5, 2021

 It is blocked up again. There is very little earthquake activity going on in the world again now. I'm feeling low energy today so far. I'm not sure why I have been feeling sore all over. I'm extra sensitive and tender and I'm wondering if there is something coming up - whether it be in this area or in a neighboring area or an explosion of significant activity around the world. I have felt tender and sore before a surge in activity. I also felt a pain run up into my knee earlier. I recall getting that in the days leading up to the Ridgecrest sequence. I'm not sure what this is now. I'm feeling as lazy as a dog in the Summer heat so far. I do not like that feeling. I did burn a pile of yard clippings and I plan on painting again today. I just have to make myself do something even though I'm feeling overwhelmed and tired. Maybe it will change later on today where there is a lot more going on. I will update if I feel any different later.

7:20 p.m.(CDT)

I feel a little bit more energy now. Some more activity has started to flare up in the world. I noticed that I was also feeling some leg pain and got concerned about my circulation again. I was feeling very light-headed earlier. 

July 4th, 2021

 I cannot believe it has been 2 years since the Ridgecrest earthquakes. I still remember it as though it were just last week. I recall what I felt that morning just before the magnitude 6.4 foreshock. I was outside with my cat and it also happened to be a certain time of the month(day 3). I was feeling some sharp pains in my left side as I was trying to get my cat who was trying to run up a hill. I also felt a burning pressure on my uterus as it was that time. I had to go inside and sit. I was feeling some side pains and something was squeezing me from inside. I was a bit uncomfortable for those 10 or 15 minutes leading up to the first earthquake. Eventually, I felt a strong set of rolling waves course through and the pain and that discomfort was gone. However, my side was aching all throughout the day and the next day leading up to the magnitude 7.1 mainshock. I had a similar experience in June of last year before a magnitude 5.3 in that same area. Those earthquakes were about 100 miles away. I have been pondering what it would have been like if I were close to the epicenters. Now I'm going to talk about today. Now that I'm here in Tennessee, people would probably say Good luck feeling something happen there! Well, TN does have earthquakes. It may not be on a tectonic plate boundary and earthquakes are much less frequent here, but a large destructive earthquake is definitely possible in this part of the country. In the meantime, I pick up on energy from earthquake activity around the world. However, I felt some pain the other day and it was not very active in the world. There was a mag. 2.4 earthquake near the town of Jellico, TN about an hour later. It was more than 100 miles from my location, but I could be more acutely sensitive to ground movement in this area with the softer soil and geological make-up. I'm not sure yet because it was still a bit of a ways off and a small quake. I will be finding out what will happen when one happens closer to my location and its size. There have been small quakes in Middle Tennessee before. Not long ago, there was one that happened in the area. I felt some pain and pressure in my side today. There has been more going on in the world in terms of significant earthquake activity.

July 2, 2021

 I noticed that I'm also mentally stronger whenever there has been an abundant amount of seismic activity going on everywhere. I have been very scattered lately and feeling overwhelmed and lost. I have been preoccupying myself with art and have also been tweaking my avatars on Twitter. I was trying more vibrant hues but decided to adopt a different appearance altogether. I thought this previous design looked somewhat childish with that 'chibi' look. As much as I didn't want to alarm or worry people out there, I also wanted it to be taken seriously at the same time, so I decided to use something a little more simple. I'm feeling glad that it is Friday and the 4th of July weekend. This lag in earthquake activity everywhere should not be going on that much longer. I may have felt a few pangs in my side, but otherwise, I have hardly felt any pain in that area at all lately and no sudden increases in energy. I just now am feeling some warmth, so maybe it may get a little more interesting today somewhere. I will not be surprised if it is still quiet 8 hours from now, but it should not be much longer before more significant activity in the world starts taking place.

5:26 p.m.(CDT)

I felt some acute pain in my left side at around 4:19 this afternoon. I was feeling some pressure there at around 3:00. I'm feeling some tingling and sensitivity there right now. A magnitude 6.1 struck the Fiji Islands region 2 hours ago. It feels like it either could start acting up more out there now or it could not really start up until tomorrow or Sunday at this point. It does feel like it might be heating up more any time now. I felt some dizziness earlier. 

10:47 p.m.(CDT)

I have not felt any more energy over the last several hours. I knew that would be it for now. However, I am feeling a lot of tenderness and stiffness in my left side.

June 29, 2021

 Right after I made last night's post, I was suddenly assailed by some terrible pain. Just when I thought I made it through day 1 of my period without any severe pain, I was mistaken. It did not last long, though. It was around 10 p.m. I had to go downstairs and go outside to ground myself and that started providing a little relief. I was nearly in tears forlornly wishing I could feel the ground move where it can push all of that out of me. I felt I at least needed a source that could produce the deep frequency vibrations for pain relief. I'm considering looking for a place that provides vibration therapy. I'm not sure how well an artificial source would help, but it may be worth the try if earthquakes rarely happen in this area. I'm fearful for my health. There has not been a major increase in earthquake activity around the world in a long time and I'm feeling the effects of it for sure. I guess I will have to work a little harder next month if it falls quiet in the days leading up to that time. I plan to do some exercises to improve my core strength and plan on being more disciplined in what I put in my body - really watching my caffeine and alcohol consumption. I'm feeling motivated to push the five days of not having one drink at night. I did a good job not having anything on Sunday evening like I normally would. I had a drink on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night last week. I could have done better than that. I should have had no coffee at all unless it was decaf yesterday morning. I should have not had one piece of candy or one bite of red meat and made sure whatever I was eating had no dairy in it. This doesn't mean I can drink 3-4 cups of coffee, have a drink 4 nights out of the week, and eat more soy and consume more sugar and less healthy foods throughout the month until my luteal phase swings back around. It starts now. I really have to start making some drastic changes here to improve my quality of life if the energy here in Tennessee is not doing it for me.

June 28, 2021

 I made it through the day without an endometriosis attack. I may have not been pain free all day, but I did not experience severe pain. I had loaded up on ibuprofen in the days leading up and alkalized my body as best as I could. There was still no significant earthquake activity going on anywhere in the world all day. I feel good about how I was being more proactive about my condition. I meditated listening to binaural beats and ate enough fruit and stayed hydrated. At around 6 p.m., I suddenly found myself getting very tired(even though my energy has been quite low all day; Getting out of bed was hard and I was initially depressed upon waking up). I was afraid as sudden exhaustion is a precursor of an endo flare-up, so I raced down to the kitchen and squeezed two lemons into a tall glass of water. I also took tumeric earlier which is also anti-inflammatory. I felt random pains in my legs and arms a lot today. I also felt some sharp pains in my side over the last hour. I'm not sure what exactly is going on. I have been extremely confused and in a brain fog lately, but that may have to do with my cycle. I believe the lack of seismic waves from all over may have exacerbated it all. This has happened before. The premenstrual symptoms hit me hard this time as there has not been a surge in significant activity around the world in a while, let alone anything close by. Old trapped energy and no full release can be a great source of pain and problems breaking out. I may have not had a bad flare-up of pain like last time, but it was still hard. I was so sore and sensitive all day and exhausted. I was still hurting, but it could have been worse. The massager can help only for a few minutes. The vibrations from that can end up irritating it all after a while. There has to be a certain frequency of vibrations to relieve my pain. That is why I would hope for an earthquake to happen close by. It of course didn't have to be big, but it had to be close enough for me to thoroughly feel those waves comb through me deeply. I felt very sad knowing that I would even more less likely experience that here.

June 27, 2021

 There still is little going on in the world in terms of earthquake activity. There has been only a few mag. 5+ over the last couple of days. I was already feeling the affects today and being on the verge of starting. I'm extra tender and sensitive where it feels like splinters of glass are inside me. I cannot stretch a certain way without hurting. I also would feel it deep in my legs, even though that may not be endo-related. I was feeling some pain deep in my side earlier while I was attending 11 O'Clock mass today. I found myself feeling very irritable this afternoon where my temper flared up which does not happen that often anymore. It feels like there should be a lot of serious activity going on in the world any time now. I have been using a massager and plan on going for a walk this evening. I don't want to use the bike this time since I'm extra sensitive and sore now. I am also going to be meditating this evening and will not touch any of the spirits downstairs tonight. I may also skip having coffee in the morning or just drink one small cup and have decaf as a second cup. I ate some fruit this afternoon and drank lemon water. I have 6 days of ibuprofen in my system to help stave the onslaught of pain especially after a lack of seismic energy anywhere. The closest earthquakes that have happened this week to my area were about 100 miles away and were below magnitude 3. They also are not that frequent here either.

9:17 p.m.(CDT)

I went for a walk this evening. I was feeling some deep throbbing pains in my left side again. I feel extra sensitive, almost paranoid about feeling a sudden severe pain. I have felt random pains throughout my body all day, especially as I'm about to start and possibly experiencing issues with my blood and my nerves. I'm not necessarily saying that my body is now susceptible to disease and infection since I'm far away from any plate boundaries and have not been thoroughly combed by seismic waves in a while. There is definitely a big difference and while my hormones don't feel as unruly and the rage cooled down, I do not feel right inside. I'm planning to go on a trip to Alaska not long from now and I'm going to find out how I will fare there. It is a different tectonic setting than California and it has more earthquakes than California and numerous good-sized ones. As of right now, I know I need to be more proactive with my health and this situation. I certainly don't want to undergo another endo attack like I did last month again. I did not prepare my body well last time. I had some alcohol 5 nights in a row leading up to the period. I was thinking I would get away with it because there had recently been plenty of strong earthquakes in the world. Besides, I noticed there would have to be a lot going on in the days leading up to and during to flush out old trapped energy.
