In order to reward myself this week, I’m going to finish up one more story before giving myself a chop and recharging with an hour-long nap.
As soon as I’ve had time to relax, I’ll be able to return to the remaining 45 minutes of the afternoon’s work with renewed vigor.
Even though I will go for a long walk and get some exercise with a friend later, I will not play ball so that my body can relax more easily tonight. After spending the last four mornings doing little of note except trying to salvage, I am bursting at the seams with all the energy I have been suppressing. My body temperature legitimately reached 102 degrees Fahrenheit the other afternoon due to this flu, and it did a number on me; however, the nice herbs that the local company sold me helped a lot, and I owe a great deal of gratitude to the local corporation that employs the incredibly knowledgeable people who work there. If I can just muster the motivation to get this work done, I can retreat to the peace and quiet of my apartment’s back living room and give my weary eyes a much-needed break. The whole-house air purifier has muffled any noise that might otherwise disturb my sleep in the comfortably cool room that benefits from the shade of a large oak tree in the backyard. For the next hour or so, I plan to meditate and rest there in the hopes of recovering from my cold and getting back to work as soon as possible. I need to buy a modern washable HEPA filter, but I just haven’t had the motivation to do it.
