getting sick might possibly be my body's response to working too hard. after a couple of difficult days last week, i continued to go into work and then this past weekend, i took care of my little guy all by myself of Saturday while my husband was out of town. i woke up yesterday and promptly emptied my cranial cavities of all that had accumulated there overnight.
it took a good 20 minutes.
and instead of sleeping, i'd decided to read Susan Monk Kidd's "The Secret Life of Bees," which had started off slow, but is going to be finished this afternoon.
i rarely take days off, including weekends. those two days that mark the end and the beginning of the week are always reserved for day trips to apple orchards or petting zoos, grocery shopping, working in the backyard. it's only lately that i've forced myself to quit being so ambitious with my plans for weekends, and only do the minimum needed to survive.
but today--today is my own. so what if i'm completely exhausted still, after having slept until 10:30 a.m.? so what if that guilt for not drafting a promised business plan keeps tapping me on the shoulder? i'm going to relax for a bit, take that second lavender-scented bath in 24 hours, and just breathe for a change.
