Health is strange, and illness even more so. My own proclivity is to ignore the latter and hence deprive myself of the former. In the past, I have pretended I'm better than I am. Which works. Sort of. But only when you're young.

Something approximating sense kicked in this time and kept me resting resting resting. 2 weeks in bed, 3rd week up part of the day, now up all day, no longer coughing, getting back into shape, feeling strong and alert. I know perfectly well that if I'd cut the recovery time in half, as I once would have, I'd still be coughing and dragging, if I didn't have outright bronchitis.

Wrote 6 pages on WIP today. Very big GRIN.

Yay writing!
Look after yourself.

Some days, writing is essential to looking after myself. Other days, I just need to give myself permission to recharge on both physical and creative levels.

Very, very glad to hear you're healing up--and able to write :-)

Ah, then two of us are happy! This is a good thing.
