I've bought myself some of my favorite jellybeans as a treat on the way back and now I'm going to take it easy and relax the rest of the day.

Good for you! The first three or four times I gave I felt a little woozy, too. I don't know how much of it was physiological or psychological. I only know that since then I have had no problems at all. And I recommend putting it on your calendar to go back as often as they will let you.
