Well, I am currently on sick leave from my job; though that may end by April. I have tried to keep things calm in my home, which includes routine. Not rut, but routine. I have given myself a few daily jobs around the house that are non-negotiable, no matter how bad I am feeling. I stopped wearing a watch, greatly reduced listening to the news (specifically politics!) and stopped watching the weather channel. In place of what was my life, I read (who knew mysteries would be so enjoyable?), I (try to!) paint landscapes and in the winter have taken up sewing and knitting. I am quite pathetic at the last two, but they do keep me occupied lol. Because my doctor has not given me the go-ahead to go back to yoga (which I love!), I take some time daily just to do some meditative breathing. If I am up to it and the weather permits (I live in Canada), I go for a walk. Usually the walks are reserved for when my husband is home. It's nice to have the company. Finally a lot of 'drama' or sweating the small stuff has ended. Before this illness, day would drift into day, month into month, season into season. I was so busy that I think I lost sight of a few things. This illness has forced me to reevaluate needs and wants. I hope my experience helps!
