Feb. 15th, 2026 07:47 pmWoken up by my daughter panicking due to her illness, she's got the flu everyone is getting. Got that taken care of then went back into my room and went back to sleep, been sleeping off and on all day which tells me I'm probably next in getting sick. Been having wildly strange dreams like I always do when something is coming.
Got my education thing sorted out completely on my end now. Nothing to do but wait for orientation. I'm settled in here now. Even my daughter has remarked I've made my room look cute. Strangely though I'm sharing this place with about a dozen people...I love it here. I'm falling into a routine of things I have to get done to fulfill my obligations here. But I've got an immense amount of free time after that and it fills the majority of my day- which bothers me.
Probably need to work on writing but my mind is feeling pulled by the stress of what I've endured these last few months trying to survive. I'm caught between giving myself the rest I need and not allowing myself to be idle. The compromise I think is to exercise for half an hour each day after my obligations and then rest. I can't help wishing I'd brought my practice sword. The yard here is long and open and perfect for footwork. But I brought my kettle-bell and that will have to be enough for now.
I'm looking forward to what's next. I know it's going to have sticky moments and I'm going to have to be strong, but I'll get there. For now, tonight, I get to breathe.
