Well, I am improving – though the symptoms are not trailing off quite as quickly as I would like. Today I am noticing some light-headedness. You will be relieved to hear that I won’t spend any more time cataloguing symptoms.

Suffice to say that the forced rest does not come easily to me. On the other hand there is something really liberating about knowing I really DO NEED to rest this much, and that doing much more than read, a little bit of cleaning/organising or cooking, and entertaining dreams and ideas is honestly over-doing for me.

I have my friend, and admin assistant, Lyle, out in my garden doing some work that I would LOVE to be doing myself, but I know that I just can’t right now. It has taken Lyle until early this afternoon to reorganise my cancelled appointments from this week into the week(s) ahead – and there are still a few rearrangements to be made.

What is to follow over the next few days is a series of postings that I have had brewing in the background – some of them for weeks, others only for days or hours.
