Restless Day #SOLC

I'm writing (almost) every day in March
in the Slice of Life challenge at

Yesterday the more I spoke and read and answered questions, the worse my throat felt.  It didn't help that my little room without a window has one fan, one HEPA filter and one Arctic Air (brought my own mini AC) fan blowing all day. (That's a whole other slice!)

At the end of the day I put in for a sick day.  I pulled together plans, made copies, over-explained everything (because that's who I am.)

Today I'm supposed to be resting.  But I can't.

I'm someone who struggles to finish things.  Even emptying the dishwasher.

I've tried lists, reminders, sticky notes.  Ugh.  This brain keeps spinning.

I did manage to finish a crossword puzzle from three weeks ago, and now I'm typing this slice.  Maybe I'll be able to nap later?  Who am I kidding?

My (supposed to be) restful day is full of restless energy.
