On a related note:

I've gotten coffee and meds into me, and now I am gonna lie on the couch and enjoy the sound of the birds through the window I could finally open because it rained and cleared the air.

Ok, last lil toot before I got nap:

We've just been discussing how rest is a skill, and different than doing nothing, and often hard to allow ourselves to do and whatnot.

So for some peer mentoring / idea sharing / rest celebrating I propose a #restMode tag (I have apparently been using a bit already).

Use it to share your moments of rest, your strategies of rest, the ways you are resting, and lurk for new ideas and framing.

Thing I just said to myself:

"Yep."
*nods comfortably*
"I think I am gonna nap again."
*pauses*
" ...I wonder if I will do it under the lizard lamp."

Even I don't know the answer to that.

Who said resting wasn't also full of suspense and excitement!?!

#restMode

👆for the record I haven't just eaten toast anyway, I have also had a toaster oven baked potato, an apple, and hot chocolate (yes, full of weed, and also cream).

I have decided pleasure, contentment and repose is a food group and I have been deeply malnourished.

So all my choices are nourishing that.

So far today I have been on a waddle around the block (it is fresh but lovely out).
Am now pillow nested on the couch, with the windows open to get a sense of fresh outdoorsness without having to sit upright outside, and watching Monterey Bay Aquarium shrimp and smooth tunes - which is lightly fascinating and about all my cog can handle.

Alright @lonelinesscorps
Let's start a conversation around rest:

What are your fav things to do when you're in rest mode? How do you fill your day? What's comforting? What's fun? What restores you?

Oof. Furnace kicked in here (for the first time in years), kicked up a bunch of dust, and kicked off a huge histamine response last night. Everything is back under control (yay meds!) but I am spent. Like my body has been through some microscopic battle, which I suppose it has.
Will be engaging Maximum Rest Mode today, I tell ya what.
