I spent a week in the middle of a huge setback, too. Last weekend was my son's birthday, which happened to come right on top of my farewell from my job. Had a busy (well, okay, "normal") 4-5 days, which I handled pretty well. Was quite tired toward the end but made it through okay.

MAJOR crash afterwards. Could hardly move the rest of the week. Just now starting to emerge.

On the bright side, I was able to have a really nice birthday party for my son and participate in my farewell (both with help), which I would not have been able to do a year ago at all, even with help. Last year at this time, I probably couldn't even have made an appearance at either. This year, I was able to attend and participate, even if I didn't manage to organize or prepare much for either.

And, of course, I need some recovery time afterwards. As simple and normal as those activities used to be, nowadays they are like running a marathon for me. Even marathon runners have to take it easy for a while after their big events, right? RIGHT?? (Is there a marathon runner here who can help me out?)

It is discouraging to crash, but not entirely unexpected. And now I'm slowly coming back to more typical average. Hope you will be soon, too.
