Solitude & Sereni.tea

This weekend will be one month since I got Covid and then ended up with pneumonia. And I had to put a temporary halt to my self care journey. I still did self care when I was sick – drank water, got a little fresh air when I could, ate popsicles when I needed, and slept as much as I could. But I stopped doing things like walking 10km each day after work, and yoga lunch hours. In fact, I really stopped doing anything that was enjoyable and basically lived in my pajamas. I tried to not beat myself up about not doing the things I loved. And I did attempt to try other things – reading, puzzles, watching mindless tv, but it’s been difficult. I have been lonely and sad and bored and feeling really poorly. And it takes almost all of my energy to walk from my bed to my sofa and back to my bed again.

This project was supposed to be 90 days of self care. It will end up being 60+ days (at best). I will not consider this to be a failure though. I do have plans to keep it going after the middle of October – which means it’s a win at all costs. But as my health begins to recover, I realize that adjustments will need to be made. I simply am unable to do any kind of workout that uses lung power, nor am I able to sit and focus for long periods of time. So once again, I find myself needing to make further adjustments to my schedule. But that can wait until Sunday – for the next couple of days, I am just going to get as much rest as I can and make an order for the good tea. Because I am sick and tired of drinking this (I dont remember the name of the brand) tea that is good for healing the lungs – it needs to be mixed with maple syrup and its disgusting.

Wishing you all a really good long weekend. If you have come across some excellent tv and movies on streaming – can you leave a comment recommending something. I am really tired of watching old episodes of the practice.

Good Night.
