asherisWent down to use the whirlpool and sauna this evening. Probably should have been using the whirlpool for the last couple weeks, really. Helped my knee relax and let me stretch it a bit. The past few days it has NOT liked being laid straight, have to keep the knee bent a bit or it hurts. In the water I was able to work on that a little; if I let things heal that tight it will be a problem later.
As I went into the sauna, I was thinking I'd just keep reading the fluff book I'd been reading in the pool, but at the last minute changed my mind and pulled out the other book I'd brought down and turned sauna time into study time. (Something I've found good for focusing.)
On some whim I'd taken Living Wicca: A further guide for the solitary practitioner down with me. I've read it before; found some things that were useful, some that weren't.
When I opened it at random, it turned out to the first page of the chapter called "Should I do it when I'm sick?". Hrm. Think there might be a message there...
Also explained something I've been mulling over in the back of my mind for several days. I was wondering how it was that being around all those thousands of people at the conference a couple weeks ago didn't leave me feeling anywhere NEAR as overwhelmed and drained as something like that normally would. The chapter is talking about when illness or medications might interfere with your ability to do a ritual that you will feel is worthwhile. Mention is made of narcotics dulling abilities/senses - that was one of those "D'oh!" moments. I know that... but for whatever reason I hadn't thought of it.
I really do need to spend more time on witchy things than I have been.
