I’m still not on vacation until Tuesday the 22nd, when my last deadline for the year should be done, but things have slowed down to a much less stressful pace. Last week, my face suddenly broke out with pimples everywhere, which has become a very reliable and slightly painful warning system that I am trying to do too much.
It’s calmed down now, thankfully, and I’ve had enough time to water the plants that had started wilting from neglect, refill the humidifiers, even sweep the floor.
Breathe, breathe, remember to hydrate. Everything will be better if you do.
