I don't get sick a lot. When I do, it's such a relief to be able to take the time to sleep and recover, knowing that I don't have to rush anywhere. I have a few firm commitments coming up in the next few weeks, so I want to make sure I'm at the top of my game then. It makes sense to take it easy now so that I can reduce the risk of missing out on important things. Besides, W- has my back, and we have a safety net. Even if we don't get a lot of cooking done during the weekend, we can grab pizza or sushi for J- (since she prefers fresh meals) or dig into the meals we stashed in our freezer.

2014-09-14 Dealing with feeling under the weather

When you're fuzzy-brained, thinking of options can be difficult. It can be good to think about the trade-offs, backup plans, and workarounds in advance. Knowing what I can swap out and what I need to do can help me get through these fuzzy times a little bit better.

Writing and drawing are a little more difficult during fuzzy times. I don't feel like I'm writing anything particularly useful or interesting, and I catch myself repeating similar thoughts. Fortunately, I've given myself permission to be boring too. I think of these more as notes and raw material that I can collect for a future Sacha who might be able to make sense of things.

A time for all things!
