The house is very quiet. And I think I needed the at-home retreat. I regret missing the Viking training weekend but find that I don't regret it as much as I had expected to - I have rested in the silence and soothed myself with the opportunity to withdraw from life a bit.

A friend posited that I may still be suffering from hold-over illness after the bout of H1N1 flu. I think she was right. Up until yesterday evening, there was what felt like a rigid band around my chest and breathing was difficult while laying prone was even more so. I was caught in that odd state of being always tired and yet unable to actually effect any rest and for over a week and a half I had a full-time headache of varying strength. Somehow that changed once I'd decided to not drive down for the event and even with the night-time insomnia, I feel more refreshed now than I have in weeks. I just let my body chose its own path, resting when I felt like I could, regardless of clock or telephone. Having no one expect me to be here aided in that. I've missed (by sleeping) two of the three phone calls that came in.

I've puttered about, washing dishes and catching up with laundry. I spent the funds allocated for the training weekend on Birthday/Giftmas presents as well as a couple of bills I meant to take care of next pay period. I've watched two movies online ("The Ramen Girl" was fun. "Dakota Skye" was a washout), read three books, played silly computer games and slept in a twilight of dimness. I've totally lost track of time and haven't cared that I've done so.

I'm looking forward to hearing all the stories about what everyone has been doing while I've been on my mental vacation.

I need to get off my duff and read (and study) OSCAR again. I haven't even looked at it for the last 3 months... opps.
