I cannot afford this

I haven't been blogging much - especially about everything I've been up to since the beginning of September. A couple posts ago, it was all about being sick.

This post is no exception.

I thought I was over this nastiness, but it would appear that after having spent Sunday outside in the snow and slush of the Alberta Foothills, I am, once again, not well.

I would really rather be blogging about anything other than this, but right now, THIS is what's eating up my time - getting better! Grr...

I opted out of English class this morning, and won't be going to yoga. I haven't been to pottery in ages either.

I simply do not have the stamina.

It seems, as of late, that I've simply been going through the motions - doing only what is absolutely necessary. For a number of weeks now, it seems I've not been wholly involved in all these things I've been so excited about - Detective Fiction at the U., Pottery, Yoga; all these things that have, up until recently, made for me a wonderfully balanced life.

I also recognized that I'm incredibly connected socially. I didn't realize to what extent until I started hearing from people who have been wondering, "Where's Turtle?"

I love people, and there are so many good ones in my life. How do I keep up??

Everything seems like an effort today - perhaps today is not the best day to ask.
