Cautious Optimism
I took yesterday almost completely off, for the first time in a long, long time (movie, dinner out, shopping, but no work and no LARP), and slept for almost 9 hours last night. And today I feel.... more human.
It's still weird; if nothing else I'm not used to needing that much rest. 7 hours is usually my ideal; any more than that and I start feeling queasy. But I'll take it.
I'm more like myself today. I woke up and took a friend up on their invitation to go to the local rock gym; now I'm belay-certified and can climb whenever I like (so a note to any friends who climb - I'm available as a partner!). I'm still low on stamina and learning on the baby-walls, but everybody starts somewhere.
I put together a menu plan for the week; I reconciled my business bank accounts with Quickbooks; I have a cake in the oven and I've been working on a crafting project for a swap that ends in a couple of weeks.
Tonight I start a new circus class - a 3-week mini-session in Spanish Web. I've had a grand total of about 5 minutes' experience in spanish web before, but I adore the spinning and I hope my shoulder is up to the strain. My hands will almost certainly hate me after both climbing and aerials in one day, but I want to take advantage of my energy while I have it.
I have no idea how I'll feel tomorrow, and I have no idea of how to adapt if my body suddenly needs an extra two hours of sleep every night. But I'll enjoy feeling mostly-normal while I can....
