Day dot

I know that I said that I would be off social media but I realised that I have been on a writing roll since 1 July so thought best not to disturb the momentum. Especially being the month of writing- November. But I did manage to stay of Facebook for the day, sometimes it overwhelms me so I try to go without it.

I now understand why the need for 'debriefing' after a war, because getting back to 'reality' takes adjusting. I am always amazed by international flights in that you go to sleep on a plane and wake up somewhere completely different. The human body needs to adjust to everything and not just the time zones. I felt the same in a way. The 6 hour drive that I covered in 5 days helped me shed my sea legs and build up an excitement for returning to my 'usual'.

However there is often a post holiday blues feeling and I think last night I experienced it. I recall now taking a few days to adjust on return from my 6 week Camino experience in Spain.

This morning I managed a short run, before my running bra strap broke. I think the Durban rust must've gotten to it, because it certainly can't be extra weight! Haha. But my run helped me get my body into sync with the last lilac of the Jacaranda trees as well as the dogs of the street, barking. My furry niece was very grateful for her short spin on the streets and I felt more adjusted when finished.
