I thought I was back to regular operating capacity when I woke up this morning but while driving in late to work (I worked from home until the traffic died down), I found myself severely drowsy. It was bad enough that I was counting down the distance audibly to keep myself focused on the drive. When I pulled into the parking lot I laid my seat back and took a nap before going in to work. (No 8 hours today.) It was clear that I am not done with getting my energy back after the holidays, wedding/wedding prep, and getting sick. I think I’m getting close but I certainly have not done too much recuperating yet.
This evening I had a very good interaction with Alex. He came out to talk to me while I was busy and frustrated. He took one look at me after getting my attention and said, “you’re clearly not ready to talk, I’ll just go back to my room.” I made a point of reaching out later when I was in a better headspace and he made the request he had been bringing to me. I also made a point to thank him for giving me that space.
