Under the weather

I opened my lines today for a couple of hours for the first time in a couple of weeks, and it felt nice. Had some really fun, nasty calls. I’ve been under the weather and mostly just trying to listen to my body instead of pushing through it the way we somethings do, far more often than I should.

I tested for Covid yesterday and it came back negative, which was a relief. Whatever this is that has me feeling under the weather; flu or whatever, it’s taken more out of me than I wanted to admit at first. The past week or so has been a lot of resting, canceling/delaying/rescheduling plans, sleeping at odd hours, and reminding myself that healing still counts as doing something. Maybe the most important something one can do.

Today felt like a small turning point. Not a dramatic “I’m better” moment, but something. A baby step toward recovery. I didn’t overdo it. I logged on, spent a little time, got nasty with a couple of humiliation-loving freaks, then logged off before I hit that edge where exhaustion sneaks back in.

I think I’m finally starting to come out the other side of it. If my body cooperates, I’m hoping to have my lines open longer tomorrow and maybe even get some recording done for the first time in over a week. In the mean time, I'm rereleasing some old clips for the pleasure of My audience.

For now, I’m grateful for slow improvement, for listening instead of forcing, and for the quiet patience this week has required of me. Sometimes taking care of yourself looks very unglamorous, but it’s still an act of self devotion.
