• I forgot to build the site last week so the short and sad weekly did not go out until today, oops.
• I'm on medical leave now.
• I chased doctors for instructions on how to medicate / care for myself in the wake of doctor strikes which left me appointment-less. It's exhausting. I am exhausted.
• It's hard to rally and flip a switch to: OK, let's make some money for ${BIGTECHCOMPANYIWORKFOR}, when despite all your best efforts you can't even keep yourself well.
• Steroids suck. I'm so tired of them. I'm on them for another month though, my longest stint.
• I used to think they made me invincible, hyper and able to deal with life better because they were pumping me with hormones but turns out they can giveth and taketh, in terms of moods. This round has been more of the latter.
• Nice things: I got internet at the new flat, I went to a ballet and had Taiwanese food, the tomatoes are not giving up though this cold summer's made it a slog.
