I've been sound sick all week from road works, the sound occupying and wrecking me in very physical ways. Last night I slept, for the first time in awhile. This morning my entire body is in pain: stiff, deep, run over aching pain. It's part of the processing. It's a good sign. And.
When I was healthy enough to spend long hours at the gym, rock climbing? This whole body pain is more debilitating, more everywhere, more awful than that
Deep breathing, deep in the woods today - look closely and you can see my bike parked next to singletrack while I rested and reset my brain with wildflowers, clover and an absolute chorus of birdsong

Literally never thought I would be able to drive (anywhere; let alone the woods) or mountain bike again; new meds and courage for things that are "good hard" is the best
