Dolce far niente

The surgeon who operated me told me to lay low for a while. At least a month, he told me. I'm used to being active and go places, so that was a real challenge for me. But guess what? I'm getting used to it! I must admit, I still need the quiet time and the relaxation, because I had a major surgery after all. The narcotics wore me out and every now and then, I need to nap to recover. But that's okay. I'm coping well. I've been reading and watching movies and looking for new recipes to try out. So yes, maybe Dolce far niente will be my new motto!
