@MetalheadDana Thanks Dana. Brain is starting to feel more functional. Went outside to take some photos of peonies that just opened & ended up puttering around the garden for a bit, taking photos, pulling weeds, and watering a few planters that dry out sooner than the rest.

But I missed out on the music & social activity planned for today. For the third time in 8 days.

I did get out twice in that same period, though. A few years ago that would have been amazing. But you start to feel better, you start to make plans... And I just hate all the regular reminders that I can't do that.

@sbourne 💖 Thanks Sarah. And yeah, that's how I need to focus on it. Yes, I didn't go to those events, but I got out the following day each time (assuming I get out to the jam tomorrow). Just got to keep things flexible.

And yes, the garden got a little neglected between rainy days & smoky days & busy days. It has been popping up all over, not just the weeds! Still not much to harvest other than radishes & green onions, but the first of the peas are almost ready.
