Another light period bringing itself to an end.  Not sure I like this very much.

I wanted to mention that I did manage to find some enjoyment in being sick for a half a week, despite not having been sick several years:  the cold ritual.  Drinking green tea loaded with honey, walking around and lying huddled in my blanket, the soups!

My throat felt like sand paper, but when I swallowed the warm, sweet tea, it felt instantly better–if only for a little while.  There were canned soups, sure, but they were fragrant and delicious.  I took them for granted before, but this time, I forced myself to slow down and enjoy them.  Oh, and there was rosemary oil in my oil burner.  Thanks to the rituals, I was able to enjoy the scent–and I think it not only helped with my headaches, it inspired some good writing for Nanowrimo–but I’m not supposed to talk about that here.  Overall, it felt good to take care of myself like that.

Nonetheless, I hope it will be a good, long time before I have to do it again.
