On the whole, this has not been a bad week. I've gotten a lot of rest. I've been taking care of myself and it's paid off. I managed to get some minis painted. I'm feeling a little more clear headed. I'm not really doing more... in fact, I'm doing less... but I'm managing to convince myself that that's OK.
I also have a new plan, which I only just started experimenting with yesterday. Naps.
OK, I know... it's stupidly obvious but I really haven't been doing it. Generally, I wake up. I do things until I feel to weak and fuzzy headed and then I lay dawn and continue doing what I can do (which is usually watch TV, play SIMS and/or read) until bedtime. The thing is, I never really just stopped. My mind kept racing. I kept trying to do something, anything.
Yesterday I just stopped. I put everything down, turned off the lights, closed my eyes and stopped. Did that for maybe 45 minutes and felt great afterward. Not like "oh hey I'm all better" great but "hey I can think semi-clearly, move around the apartment and do a little more painting" great. So I'm tried that again this morning and again I feel great. We will continue this little experiment and see where it takes us.
Onward
