This weekend is another one of those times where I am forced to slow down. And, frankly, I'm not digging it for many reasons; boredom, food restraints, pain and swollen cheeks among them.
But, my husband has been so sweet in taking care of me post-op, my friends and family have been so kind checking in on me, and the timing was right because classes right now are pretty low-key.
Sometimes self-care isn't pleasant or fun. But it is always necessary.
