Care Check-In

Wireless was cranky this morning: i eventually pulled out the long-used Airport Express and replaced it with another we had on hand (a gift to Christine's sister that she returned to us when she acquired a sweetie who could provide local tech support). Then I spent a long time mulling over management issues at work.

For my notes, Monday and Wednesday both began before five am, prepping for our visitors. I've gotten to bed early to reasonable these nights, so i'm not particularly sleep bereft. I know this week has sapped some of my resources but i actually feel *good*, not like i need to be a zombie to recover from the engagement. I can't help but think that certain things have helped, including

a) boosting vitamin D,
b) having hours in front of the bright light in the early morning,
c) the low level lethargy of the wheat reaction absent,
d) using both the proactive flovent and the reactive xopenex with the lingering asthma.

We also didn't push morning to night with the meetings. The weather isn't something i'd count as helping anything, but evening commutes managed to be easy and sane (holiday traffic Monday, leaving early Tuesday, leaving late Wednesday).

My hormonal cycles were clearly on hold as a change was due midweek last week, but it did not occur. I could feel the stress of work creating a sense of being physically on "Pause," creating a different and additional stress. Then this morning it's clear the stress of work has cleared and now my body can continue in it's normal routine. Yay?

It's possible i'm still coasting on the adrenaline, looking forward to an afternoon meeting with the team to debrief.
