I am, too! The tingly-fingers and mouth thing were a bit scary, but I knew it would pass. I was doing really deep breathing in the car, but it's one of those things that it really takes time for it to go away. As for tunes, I have a tape-deck adapter for my iPod, so I've been listening to that. Radio could be fun to try too, though. One can hear all kinds of songs you've forgotten about when flipping stations while going cross-country.
I'm exceptionally aware of being careful on this trip, hence spending nights in hotels rather than driving 10 hours straight as I used to. I'd much rather have manageable stretches and time to decompress, emotionally and psychologically, than do marathon drives like I used to. I don't need to prove to myself that I can drive for hours on end; I've been there and done that. This is about taking care of me, not pushing myself to extremes.

Thank you for your kind words! ((hugs))
