Bed rest

Creative Fortnight in Paris #31

This is my 60th published post here and this is the last remembered sunny day in Paris. It has been grey for years.

I spent the majority of the month of January—so far—in bed. I knew that I had been working too much in December, and it was a simple “cause and effect” situation. The flu season, glacial weather, and not enough rest led to the body being more prone to viruses, colds, and exhaustion. It was an annoying situation that didn’t come as a surprise.

Last night, lying in bed, I felt excitement about today’s work, and I think that excitement is what usually pushes me to my edge—and into bed rest. Excitement is obviously not a problem; not recognizing where the edge is, is.
