Saturday. I'm back from Puerto Rico to a damp, early spring day. Light rain has been falling all day - I hear it dripping from the eaves, and spinning from the tires of a car that just went down the street.
I spent most of the afternoon sleeping. I seem to have come done with an upper chest infection. I had some symptoms in Puerto Rico that I thought might be allergies, but I'm now thinking it's a respiratory virus.
I notice how much my energy is drawn inward, how I have to deliberately gather myself to do a task - even to write a blog post. I feel as if I'm pulling myself up out of a pool for a short while, then, once that energy is exhausted, slipping back in. I know that I need the rest, and accept that today, my energy is heavy and dampened, much like the world outside, soaking in the cool spring rain.
