I loved this one. Thank you for the gentle encouragement to those of us feeling as though we're not going to make it through these last tough weeks!

I like when you said we aren't robots and our bodies aren't machines. I think it's true that every time I find something that allows me to work really productively, I think I've discovered a universal cure--and then often it stops working and often the reason is that my energy wanes.

You're surely right that often you can't really do much except rest and be patient and trust your energy will return... But one thing I struggle with about this is that it makes *planning* difficult. I think if I knew in advance, "And that week I will be really exhausted," I could plan around it. But obviously that assumes machine-like predictability if not machine-like constancy.
