Today was one of those days
As I posted on Facebook earlier, today was one of those days:
One of those down days. Haven't slept well three nights running, joints are extra achy. Good thing I have an infusion tomorrow (first full-strength one). Just hoping I can avoid the jaw pain that came with the half dose!
All true.
But. Then I asked myself what do I need to do today to not feel badly about myself?
Get out of the house, I thought.
Work on Adelaide, I decided.
So I packed up the printed manuscript and took myself to Starbucks, where I had a cappuccino (turns out I needed that caffeine) and read through the manuscript, making edits, taking notes, and writing helpful things like "fix!" in the margins.
I feel better now. Still tired. Still in pain. But so much better, in some of the ways that matter most.
