I’m starting to feel almost human again.
I don’t know whether it’s the result of the cold starting to clear up — though I’m still snuffly — or whether it’s down to having a few days off work, managing to shut up the voice that constantly reminds me “there are things that need to be done” and doing something that approximates relaxing instead.
Now I just need to build on this and figure out how to get some energy back; I still have far too many aches and twinges and am feeling generally run down. But still better than I have the last ten days.
