+Sabbaticals are good. But, like, really no-kidding good. I spent the early part of yesterday in my pajamas, in front of the computer, working on the new project. And then I pulled myself together that afternoon and went grocery shopping, laying in all of the basic supplies such that I don’t have to leave the house if I don’t want to. Cooked a simple but good dinner last night. Hung out and chatted with R. Did some reading, and went to sleep.
+
+And I get to do it again today. Without the grocery shopping.
+
+My library access here is still in process, but once it’s available, I’m going to go spend a couple of days digging through various special collections. And then there will be more days in my pajamas, in front of the computer.
+
+I’m writing. I’m eating well. I’m exercising.
+
+This, I think, is what balance feels like. It’s only a shame that it takes a sabbatical in order to find it.
