This was going to be a rest day anyhow--I didn't really get one last weekend, and won't next, in both cases because of travel. Double that for healing the tattoo: I love my new fish, but it's in a place where I feel the tenderness when I walk, in addition to what an hour and a half of being tattooed in a fairly tender area took out of me.

So I'm taking it as easy as I can, both physically--[livejournal.com profile] cattitude and I went as far as the water, and watched the tiny crabs on the mud flat, because it's good for me to get outside every day--and psychologically. Not only am I not to do much that counts as exertion, but I'm realizing that small things are feeling larger than they might: unsent emails and the like.

But I have my coelacanth, and I'll have it in a few days when the tenderness and then the itching are past. This is not only larger than my other tattoos, but in a trickier area, and I'm not so energetic as I was some years back.

P.S.: Maybe it's that the endorphins have worn off. Or may I'm not getting enough rest: at the moment there are sound reasons for me not to lie on either side.
