But I was able to complete these significant tasks with incredible efficiency as soon as I recovered. I wasn't even aware of the flow I got into. So it definitely appears that my mind and body was craving this forced reset. I've got to remember this lesson. Thanks for your comments.

If I might make an observation (hey, you're the one who put the comment box here), I find that I get the most frustrated with myself and my lack of achievement when my goals get too outer-focused, as well as too many. When I concentrate on the simple stuff--learning to listen, acting compassionately--the progress ain't glamorous, but it's cumulative and pretty great. Even something simple like leaning to ask myself _why_ I'm thinking/feeling/acting the way I am in a given moment is helpful. In any event, rest up, bub. And look at this as a time to reset. No, no–you said many things right!
