I am hoping to find (and I am) some much needed rest to do NOTHING. I recently tested positive for the flu. I received the flu vaccine earlier this year, but after taking care of two little ones, one of which actually had the flu, it's no wonder that i was given the same diagnosis. Oh well, all is not lost. Due to the population of patients that I work with, I was given a week off from work. This was sooooo needed. I have been running off of 4 to 5 hours of sleep for months, and now my body has a chance to catch up, but does it ever really? I digress. Once I "catch up" on my sleep, i look foward to decluttering my space, one drawer, one nook at a time. It's amazing to me how things can accumulate over time and the sometimes subtle struggle to release them is made apparent. The fear of "I might need that or someone might need that" is all too real. However, the need to make room physically lends itself to making room for mental clarity. I need to see, hear, and think clearer than ever.
This week I'm sipping on lemon-ginger tea for the "fuzzies".
P, do you have a favorite type of coffee? Maybe I need to read more of your posts to discover your favorite way to take coffee? I personally switch my preferences with the seasons... I love espresso year round (as a busy working mom I drink it every day), but I like it hot when the weather is cold and iced when it's warmer. :) -Kay
Currently, my favorite way is drip. However, I have some new coffee babies 😁 (an Aeropress and a pour over coffee maker). I'll be trying new methods in 2024. I believe I'm really going to like pour overs, but we'll see.

I'm glad you were able to rest (although forced). Sometimes, our bodies get tired of giving us signals to rest and make us sit down somewhere.
As for the clutter, I fully understand. My 3rd room (the catch-all room) is long overdue for my attention.
