I cleared all decks for a couple of days in case I had a bit of a reaction to vaccination.

Yesterday I stayed on the couch and binge-watched all of Why Women Kill, which became better and better as it progressed and developed. I had a mild headache when I woke, so took paracetamol. No idea whether it would have become worse.

I also took up again my first-ever crochet project, a rainbow beanie that I started and paused in December last year. Since Winter began in Adelaide I have far more experience with beanies, and realised that I had not made my fabric wide enough.

So, yesterday I crocheted three quarters of a rainbow scarf.

Today I slept until 10am. I usually wake before 6am. After a bit of pottering about, I lay down for a 20 minute nap around 2pm. Three hours later I was woken by hungry animals demanding to be fed.

Last time I did anything like this was an enforced fortnight watching Downton Abbey while on stress leave, around eight years or so ago. Then, I was mentally and emotionally burnt out from some pretty serious job stress. I’ll tell you about that in my next post.
