Not really sure, possibly a few more days or a week? I can get around now for short excursions to stretch the muscles and keep the little ticker in shape. Please send some new stuff over!

And that definitely is what the fuss is all about for me too, but I am so obsessed with it, I am completely missing out on the present, the fruits of my endeavours. I don't get that full sense of achievement and satisfaction at all. Im sure thats why my short term memory is shot. Im not really there in the moment.

The past 2 days even as boring and unsatisfying as my current situation might seem with being stuck in bed most of the time, I have found happiness in preparing small meals, being able to brush my teeth over the sink, knowing and feeling that I am alive, really tasting my tea... they have all been such glowing moments.

I really enjoyed listening to that show without doing anything else. Normally I'd be typing away or playing a game. I just laid my hands on my belly and enjoyed what I was learning.

Nice stuff. I often think about how much time should be spent thinking of the next up and coming vs. just enjoying the moment.

I think the big deal is that if you don't spend enough time thinking about the future, what you want and need and how to get it, then you'll end up having a present not worth living...or at least not as amazing as it might have been had you done a bit of planning.
