I got a lot of sleep last night. Right after scrubbing the tub and watching one of the last days of Downton Abbey, I went to bed. And I slept, more or less straight through, till 8:00 AM! Really, this is noteworthy. I never sleep this much.
I have to remember that I'm really not that healthy. My body is healing from c. diff and PI-IBS. I notice little things, the residual effect of more than a month of a meager diet, like my nails break very easily these days. So maybe my body needs more sleep to heal.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
And your body also needs good healthy food...when you can tolerate it. Sounds like you're on the mend. And that's a good thing. Now go back to sleep. Queen's orders.
ReplyDeleteSleep is entirely underrated. 9 hours really isn't that much, especially when you're recuperating. Mimi's right about healthy food, as you can tolerate it. Keep listening to your body!
