Goodnight friends! Very tired and groggy today, a fuzzy blank of mild pain, muscles hardly co-operating. Spent most of the day in bed, feeling like anything beyond breathing – and sometimes even that – was a heavy manual effort. The kind of purely physical, boring struggle that lends itself to a mildy vertiginous kind of disembodiment, as if my sensations were offset from my body by just a few disconcerting centimetres.
Rain for most of the day, and abrupt, rattling triphammer rain too, didn’t help matters for me either, but at last the warm air feels a little less sticky and heavy. A few stems of lemon balm I cut and put in water a few weeks ago are persevering, even coming into flower today. Mint really is a survivor.
May we nurture ourselves and each other however we can today!
