Emotional and Physical Bandwidth

Working out how to get all the things done that I want done. My emotional bandwidth seems to take turns with my physical bandwidth for how much I am able to cope with doing. I can force myself up to a point but I'll pay later. Working out what I can and should push and what I should let go is a work in progress.

The therapeutic writing leaves me pretty drained. Driving long distances being tiring is not surprising but is disappointing as that used to be something I would do to unwind. Interacting with people is exhausting.

Some kind of aerobic exercise is something I need to push myself to do. Working on coding is something I need to push myself to do more of.

I seem to cycle between video games, knitting, and reading.

I am doing pretty good with doing a little of my German every day. I write a little every day. I do a little housework every day. I will at least snack throughout the day.

The trip we took this past holiday through me off. I did some reading and mostly snacked. That's about it for my normal activities. I pushed myself too hard and possibly ate something bad for me. Sunday was amazing. Driving home Monday and most all of this week has been recovery. I even broke out with a cold sore which hasn't happened in years. I'm finally feeling more normal. I can't wait to go back but on a less compressed timeline to see if how good I felt Sunday was a fluke or if there is something about being at the higher altitudes that helps. I even slept better Saturday and Sunday night, in a hotel, than I have in weeks. Hotels are usually terrrible for me even when I'm really tired.

I learn a little every day and find more questions to explore.
