Journal 8/14/17 Morning

Physical: I'm tired, coughing, and had a really bad asthma attack last night. My eyes are pretty painful, and I woke up fairly dehydrated. I'm pretty low on spoons.

Mentally: Also low on spoons. I feel okay, because this morning is pretty simple, but I'm not sure how I'd handle anything more complicated. I'm still feeling the desire for clear and specific direction, though I'm unclear as to whether it's a want or a need.  It's so mentally restful, and my brain does feel like it needs rest.

Emitional: I'm a little shut down, but I think that's probably good at this point. I have a lot on my mind. (For example, Aisha's support of Trump, and apathy about the literal murder of POC. Why should she be the exception to my "no tolerance" policy?)
I'm choosing to not really engage with my feelings this morning.
I have a little bit of sassiness today, and a bit of intensity, but I'm too tired for those to be very prominent.

My goals for the day are to work, duo everything I can to get some spoons back, particularly mentally, and, if I feel good enough, to do some cleaning.
My strategy is going to be doing five minutes or less of cleaning at a time, scattered throughout three day.
