I'm sick in bed with a strong flu (which is almost offending because I haven't been sick in a long time 🥲) so I thought to myself: "I'm gonna relax and read a book"
So I bought a book about excellence. I've barely made it a few pages in before I thought to myself "yeah this isn't gonna happen" 🥲
My ability to sustain focus and retain information is practically down to zero.
So, a boring rest and lots of hot fluids it is. And probably a comforting movie.

You know the worst part is? I feel guilty for taking time to rest.
What has modern tech culture done to us?!

@SaraSoueidan Take care Sara and have a good rest without feeling guilty, you are doing more than most of us ! Health is the one thing you take for granted and until it’s gone…

@SaraSoueidan feeling guilty is the real sickness here. I had to fight the same issue recently after all things that happened in 2026.

@SaraSoueidan Taking time for yourself and your health is nothing to feel guilty about. Get well and consider that you are important not things. This thought independent of religion.

@SaraSoueidan
aw, sorry to hear you're ill and particularly that you're feeling guilty for taking time to rest. May you remember your worth doesn't come from constant-production to appease others. And enjoy the down-time with your movies, napping, and warm beverages. 🙂

@SaraSoueidan If you can't shake that productivity impulse, then: right now, it's your job to rest and recover. Your most important task is self-repair. Tools of the trade may include blankets, tea, cozy socks, and binge watching. Get to work! 😏

@earthtoneone I must admit this *is* helpful. 😃 Thank you! I think today I’m halfway through getting ‘the job’ done! At least that’s how I’m feeling…

@SaraSoueidan Sometimes, I don't feel like reading just text, so I try out graphic novels like "A Wizard of Earthsea" (it won a Hugo recently) or "Anne of Green Gables". It reminds me that there's still a child within me who loves to look at pictures.
Take care.
