Oh heeeeeey I remember now. I really don’t like this time of year. Everything is all shifty, not quite summer, not quite spring. The allergies are plentiful and my brain gets all weird. I’ve fallen off the wagon on a lot of my chores and things so I’m having to stop. take a breath, and then go back and pick up the slack. I am doing REALLY good at cooking and making lots of yummy healthy food, so I’ve got to keep that up while I go back and figure out why I’ve let other stuff slack. I suspect it’s just a temporary case of the donwannas. I just need to shuttupitbuildscharacter myself a few times and keep it going without beating myself up too bad.
