scrubjayspeaks: hand holding pen over notebook (done this week)
Well. These are interesting times. Nothing like a little existential dread to liven things up...

Covid recovery continues apace. I still get winded more easily, and I've got a whole sinus situation going on. The stress of work managed to ramp up my energy enough for me to get things done, but I'm pretty exhausted all the rest of the time. I've got some memory and attention issues, but it's hard to say if that's directly from the covid or just a consequence of said exhaustion.

Regrettably, work is instituting another round of mandatory overtime for the month of July. So that exhaustion is unlikely to improve.

In the category of small pleasures, though, it's finally the right time of year for the good grocery store to stock lemondrop melons. I buy a half dozen at a time. Which I could, if I didn't want to savor this short-lived treat, eat in a single sitting. So cold! So tart! So juicy!
