Trying to write articles with a splitting headache is no walk in the park, but I have to stick to my routine or I risk falling behind on my schedule. I have to write a few more today and then I am going to close the old Chromebook and call it a day, mainly resting and doing yoga and meditation the remainder of the day. I think my mind is telling me that I need to get a better handle on the ruminating thoughts with this cold I just got last night. I felt it when I cleaned my HEPA filter last night before bed and now I am feeling even worse, but my air purifier is cleaning the air and hopefully that helps with my recovery. I am living far away from my mom and her healing hands and now is when I really miss her the most. I just want to be at her home in front of the fireplace with a cup of chicken soup and an afghan, while her whole home air purifier hums in the background. I guess I am here for a reason though and need to be my own mom and be kind to myself while my body and immune system does their thing and gets me well again. I am turning on the air conditioner soon because it is heating up outside to the point that warrants some climate control in the flat, especially on days like this when I am feeling a bit less than ideal. I’ll get better soon and life will all fall into place again.
