I checked the route this morning and changed my mind halfway through because the clouds looked heavier than they did when I first looked outside.
Instead of turning it into a whole complicated outing, I stayed close to home and walked the side streets for a bit. That ended up being the better call since I ran into a neighbor pruning a hedge and we talked longer than expected about tomato plants and whether shade in the late afternoon helps or hurts them.
After that I came back in, made tea, and finally finished the article I had been reading in pieces for three days. It was nice to let the day be ordinary for once without trying to give every hour a purpose.
I think that was the part I needed most. I was less tired by evening, and oddly enough I got more done once I stopped pushing against the clock so hard.
