If I were a more open and courageous blogger, I would disclose why I need a recovery plan, my past recovery plans, my history of needing recovery plans, etc. I prefer to let my readers speculate. So, go ahead and speculate.
While you are speculating, here is my recovery plan:
1) minimize alcohol consumption for a couple of weeks.
2) bike up hills daily.
3) sit in the sun as much as possible.
4) drink a lot of water.
5) take a short nap every day.
6) take iron.
7) work in 30-minute chunks, then take breaks.
8) use the sewing machine, but don't expect to be Mintyfresh in one day.
9) make bed.
10) lie in it.
Re-reading this posting made me want quit blogging, or to write a different kind of blog entirely: a political commentary blog, a mommy blog for cat mommies, a blog for nutcases.

Ags, DARLING. You so need a wine session avec moi. Your last couple of posts have been so angst-ridden. And yet you are perfect the way you are. There is no need for a recovery plan from my outside perspective. So if you need/want more advice, I guess you'll have to reveal...DUN DUN..."your history of needing recovery plans." C'mon, let's hear it!
I'm new to Ottawa and newish to blogging, but I really like the idea of an Ottawa blogger community. So, I wouldn't be changing my blog if I were you. There's a lot of good stuff here (as well as in the other Ottawa blogs I've found).
As for your recovery plan, I would recommend forgetting about #2 -- that's just insane. Instead, walk -- you can combine it with #3 and walk in the sun. So now your plan is shorter and more manageable already. #8 also sounds completely crazy to me, but then I can't be sure what exactly you're planning on using the sewing machine for.
And, I don't know Harmony, but I'm absolutely on board with everything she says.
Thanks for the suggestions. I secretly want to become one of those 'craft' blogs...
Harmony, thanks for your kind words. Urban, thanks for helping me downsize my plan. You are right about the #2. No need for this kind of self-flagellation, eh?
