Back down a step

A gentle week, mostly.

Third day after the change is always the worst and I have finally stopped being surprised by it. Knowing it is coming does not make it pleasant, but it does make it survivable.

Holding at this step for another month. I would rather be here comfortably than one step further and wrecked.

Asked about going slower and was braced for a fight I did not get. She said plenty of people do better on a longer step and wrote it down. I had spent a week rehearsing an argument.

Slowly.
