Lag Time

As I continue to improve, it's easy to pretend that I'm up to the task of doing what I used to do.  Alas, my system has other ideas.  I recently finished teaching for three solid days at a regional conference.  It was a joy to be in front of the room again, presenting to my peers.  Having help from a virtual assistant gave me the ability to focus on content without the distraction and pressure of composing a power point.  A soft bed and early nights kept me chugging along during the days.  Still, I collapsed once I was home.  It's three days since my return and I'm still exhausted.  My head is in a bit of a fog and I find myself wandering, lost in the confines of my own kitchen - a small galley for which I am grateful.  Where did I set that spoon?  I want to sleep but work beckons.  Tonight, tonight....
