Celebration: The Cold is Waning!

Congestion and cough linger because i have a less than ideal respiratory system or immune system, but the asthmatic cough and the drainage are symptoms i can live with. The sense of malaise and mental dullness play in the same space the depression plays in, and while over the past five years or so i've both dropped my fear of the depression and i've learned to discern physical illness from depression, it takes energy to fight the old ghosts.

Yesterday was still a long day and plenty of work, so i was a lump at home. I knitted a row on the hand-towel and doodled just before bed. I'm not sure digital doodles have the same mental effect the crayon doodles do, mainly because i don't have the same skill with the tool so i can't make it do the same thing i do with crayons. Nonetheless, i am enjoying the Skitch doodles, and they're at hand when i travel.



I appear to have to travel to Ohio in February and in late March. I had already decided not to go to the Quaker LGBTQ group in February because i wanted to keep my regular routine for as long as possible, regathering myself after The Cold and the December travel and holidays which was proceeded by the Fiscal Year 12 Quarter 3 Installation Debacle (which started in October and went through Thanksgiving).

There are Yams at work and Meeting responsibilities that i need to catch up on and then a vista of Dealing With Work and Career. I have spaces and effort that i want to prepare to explore during the bright light summer.
