A Healthier Me
COVID-19 Edition | Day 18

Welcomed day of rest,
Mental process needs reboot,
Charging batteries.

Sunday at last! The past week was a challenging one! There was so much going on for a massive last minute project that required a very large team and no project manager. End result is while we are pulling it off, the priorities are being pulled in every direction imaginable. Thank God for an outside vendor that stepped in and tried to pull it all together. Bottom line was it required an enormous amount of programming, with multiple moving targets. But it’s not over yet as the actual week-long event just started. But today I rest.

And today I rest—physically and emotionally. I allowed my brain to decelerate down to third gear and take a nice Sunday drive through the countryside of my current hobby-driven projects. First up: knitting. But as I examined my work, proud that it appeared progress was good, I noticed a few mistakes in the early stages so the whole thing was unravelled and begun again. This is not a bad thing, however, as there was something soothing in the act of pulling thread and rewinding it up on a ball in that the act required expending very few brain cells! And so the project began again, which also had a very relaxing tone to it. Next up was … well, nothing. One hobby was all I could handle for the day.

By day’s end, I did feel recharged and ready for a new week. Ciao.
