This has definitely been a recovery day. I never did fall asleep last night. My body does not know what it wants. I can’t tell if I am hungry, tired, restless, or thirsty.

I am still in my pajamas as I knew I wasn’t going anywhere today. I did manage to get my laundry done and folded and put away. Now when I do decide to get dressed I have clothes to wear.

I took a nap around 3:00 this afternoon and woke up around 9:30. I am still exhausted so hoping I will be able to get more sleep later tonight. This time thing is really messing with me today.

Went through the papers on my desk and sorted them into piles. I need to make several phone calls Monday and deal with some of the things that came in. Have a couple other things to fill out and mail. Maybe tomorrow when I can think straight I will get them filled out and ready to mail.

I did remember to put the turkey in the refrigerator so it could thaw out by Thursday. I had forgotten to do that when i got home last night.

Recovery from international trips gets harder as I get older. Have a bit of a sore throat and the chills tonight. Thinking it is just my body saying what the heck did you put me through more than I am getting sick. I don’t have time to get sick right now. The next three weeks are going to be busy.

I’m sure tomorrow I will have most of my brain power back and I can get something done. I plan on staying home again tomorrow and give my body rest and quiet. I have something I have to do everyday next week and will need brain power to accomplish what needs to be done.

One of those days where I can’t hold a thought long enough to act on it. Guess that is the price I pay for being gone for two weeks and traveling across the globe.

Grateful for a day of quiet at home, grateful to know that I will recover but it may take a bit, and grateful to have another day tomorrow of rest and recovery.
