Backson

In one of the "Winnie-the-Pooh" stories, Christopher Robin writes a note to tell his friends that he will be away for a bit, and he ends it by saying: "Bisy. Backson."

I am not particularly 'bisy' except with the burdens of life, but I will definitely be 'backson.' I am tired and feeling not quite able to hold myself up. Time to crawl under the covers with a book and a stuffed bear, and rest. Wish I had a northern cave to hibernate in, but with these crazy climate changes, even the bears aren't being allowed the true winter rest they are entitled to.
