I’m going to give myself a break today and finish up one more story before giving myself an hour to sleep and recharge.
After that, I can return to my work refreshed for the remaining 45 minutes of the day.
I’m not going to play ball after work, but I will go for a long walk and do some light exercise with a friend so that I can relax more deeply tonight. I’ve spent the past four afternoons doing nothing but resting and trying to reclaim, so I’m bursting at the seams with all that unused energy. The other day I hit a high of 102 degrees Fahrenheit with the flu, and it really messed with me. Thankfully, the local supplier helped me out a lot with the wonderful herbs they sold me, and I am very grateful to the local business who works there and knows everything there is to know about everything. I need to force myself to finish this so that I can retire to the peace and quiet of my family room in the apartment’s rear. The media air cleaner completely muffles any outside noise, so I can sleep soundly in the comfortable coolness provided by the large oak tree in the backyard that casts a nice shadow over the room. If I can rest there for an hour or so and meditate, I should be able to recover from this cold and get back to work in no time. I need to go out and buy a new washable HEPA filter but I just haven’t had the strength to do it.
