Goodnight friends! Sometimes, despite having what I think of as the right preparations–a low impact day yesterday, took my meds, well hydrated &c... the day just doesn't work out.

More pain, fatigue, nausea than I counted on. Not enough to feel like I 'deserve' to do nothing, enough that I have to. I'm not the boss every day.

I spotted this bindweed today that has been assiduously sneaking its way up over the garden wall. May we remember today that we climb best with the support of others.

@paralithode Important for me to remember too: I'm not the boss everyday. And even when I don't feel like I "deserve" to take time off, sometimes my body is more in charge than I am. Thank you for the reminder, and I hope tomorrow is better for you.
