3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

Something like normality returns today with Missus finally going back to work. Son has another 2.5 weeks but has plenty of stuff to keep him occupied - like figuring out how he's going to marry his Belarus true-love and get to be with her - this will be taking up the majority of his time! This will also give the pair of them a strong incentive to work hard at their respective colleges and succeed in building careers for themselves.

This character is still recovering from an act of self-neglect - not wearing padding when breaking in new shoes! This has made something of a mess of my ankles, the raw wounds the size of 50p coins and as of this morning still weeping. I grounded myself at home Sunday and Monday to allow recovery, but it has not proceeded as fast as I would like. Though still reasonably robust, my body is not as resistant to damage or as quick to recover as it was in my prime.

A further act of self-neglect has been inadequate sleep and meditation for absolutely no good reason - I have been indulging unimportant interests online after discovering new sources. Son informs me that this is clearly noticeable in my dark puffy eyes! Holidays and breaks are great but with their ending comes an opportunity to restore balance! And of course, getting adequate brain maintenance will speed up healing of my ankles - certain mechanisms in the body cannot work whilst the brain is in conscious mode!
