Saturday 9th April 2022 Every now and then I have a day of recharge and recovery. I know it seems like I am an extrovert but I was once incredibly shy and would be afraid of being out in the world. Now I understand that I need time to let my body regroup. Today I had perfect weather for my downtime. Cold, wet and miserable. I had days like this when I was in Durban, which feels so long ago. I felt guilty then because I was in a different place and 'should' be doing something. But I realised that when I came 'back to the world' I was recharged and refreshed so the guilt disappeared. Now, I accept that these downtime days are just as important as the exploring days. I spent my day under a blanket with Netflix on a series I've seen before but couldn't get the controls to work properly. It was perfect background noise while I studied okay, researched at times. There was a joke about a woman's mind being like a computer with multiple webpages open and it's a perfect description of how I felt today. Multiple tabs open while system upgrades. Tomorrow I face my world again.
