Oh it's Christmas Eve?

[brainwane]

I predict I will never actually be able to keep the dates straight in my head without assistance (the 24th is Eve, the 25th is Day, the 26th is Boxing Day). Grateful for this advice right now, even though I'm not really taking the "Stay off the internet; clean the house." advice. But I did arrange a call with another sort of stray just now, for later tonight.

I'm sick, which I hate. I've basically been up and down with things that feel like colds for weeks, and last night my sleep was pretty messed up, and my resilience feels kinda shot. I see my general practitioner later this week.

I woke up way too early this morning and edited Wikipedia which is at least something non-depressing (for me) to do when I'm low-cognition and low-energy. (Oh and I've been thanked for one of those edits! nice!)

Leonard is out of the house doing a bit of grocery shopping. He'll be home all week and I will also be trying to do some work, assuming I feel well enough. I haven't made any particular plans for the week other than some appointments and a few music/comedy events in some evenings -- I hope I feel well enough to do some kind of year-end blog post.

My Christmas gift to Leonard will be that tomorrow I'll spend some time out of the house on a bike ride. Maybe I can cross the Queensboro bridge on a bike for the first time!

Best wishes to you all.

Back at you, and don't push yourself too hard if you're feeling funky.

Healing is work, too.

Thanks - I have done ok at taking care of myself so far, and appreciate reminders.

It was lovely to talk to you! (I'm also still not sure what Boxing Day is about.) May your bike ride be a joy.

Thank you - glad we talked, too! It turns out the bike rides in the cold were part of what caused my cold to relapse over and over. /o\ But at least they were fun.
