So, I have been having these massive afternoon nap attacks. Like big 2-3hr sleeps. And I have been trying to figure out what's wrong with how I am dosing cannabis, or fallout from other meds, or...?

And ya know what? It's just that space between wrecked and functioning. It's called "rest" and "healing." 🤦‍♀️

I am not in pain, my brain is not urk! with inflammation, so the poor thing shuts down to remap and heal, after being through some shit.

So, I sat and stared out the window for 3hrs, and then had a nap.

I feel surprisingly accomplished about this.

Mostly because this last week I have been enduring, not resting. Today is a very different (and passively productive) kinda vibe.

When I get the pain and malaise under control I can actually REST, and it is lovely.

Ha! I am not doing nothing, I am letting things settle so I can see "the depth of my own being."

@Homebrewandhacking Oh wait! Did I misremember you as a spoonie?

Healthy people can totes celebrate not doing stuff too. Everybody deserves to dial it down and take more breaks.
