After the arrival of our first "serious" cool front of the season, one that actually bids that we turn the air-conditioning way back, we should see more of this in the gardens.  It takes that first shock of chill to suggest that they shut down, turn off, take a nap, or slow to a crawl for the next few months.
In the middle of the night, my body started telling me I should do something similar with my day today. Slow down, namely.  Simple symptom.  Dizziness.
Sinus pressure mixed with a change in barometric pressure, on top of not sleeping well, and stressing over a few work insults from the past week.
So, this was my day to baby myself a bit. It's allowable and necessary. And surprise, surprise - even within the context of resting, I managed to do a few things that will make my next week easier.

Remembering to take deep breaths, for one thing.
Drinking water for another.
Eating small meals.
Reading, writing, posting, listening, watching, being still.

Tomorrow, the craziness of the work week will begin again, but I if I can remember to do those same things, perhaps it will be an easier one.
