One thing I am doing for my ME these days, is remembering to lie down. I was a human doing in my old life and it's sometimes hard to break that cycle. At a few points in the day, i just lie down and it lets me pay attention to my body. If my body says 'yes, this is where i need to be.' I stay there. No guilt. Just rest.

Having a heavy resting day, but I'm in very good company.

My partner reminded me this morning that i'm resting aggressively today. Not something i've been doing so well the last few. So i made myself a very low key breakfast that I love.

You may or may not love savoury Chinese custards, but i sure do. This is a very low spoons meal that can be cooked in the microwave in about 5 mins. I do like to strain my eggs because I have sensory issues, so smooth eggs are my friend.

I recommend making this with hondashi which you can find at most Asian groceries, but I'm sure it's still delicious with chicken or veggie broth. Such a soothing meal.

We ran out of maple syrup so i subbed a little golden syrup instead and had this with some leftover rice with leftover carrot ginger dressing.
