Today has been death by a thousand paper cuts of heat, noise, and general irritation with the world. These feelings will pass (they always do), and I’m quite looking forward to the amount of interesting work I have to do over the next few weeks (the week off I have planned at the end of it also helps). The weather looks like it might hold out for a few days, so hopefully I won’t regret my decision to not cycle in 26 degree heat this evening and instead spend the time doing chores and then focusing on self-care.
