I'm typing this while fighting drowziness from the naproxen I took a bit ago.
After falling in the bathroom a coupeld days ago, I'm still hurting, with my
back and shoulders being fairly bruised from neck to hips. In protecting my
head, I hit the lip of the shower stall, so I'm...sore, to say the least.
That, coupled with people in my social circles being *highly* stressed out
over political events here in the US, has kept me mostly offline. My own stress
is at its limit, so I'm trying to relax with some reading and music, as well as
a little bit of coding in my attempts to continue learning Perl and C. Not much
is being done there, but enough that I'm happy with what I'm doing.
And honestly, I think the sudden solitude might be doing me some good. I'm
not used to being on my own for too long, but it's somehow helping me deal with
the mental strain I've been under as of late. I'm not going full hermit or
anything, but just digging into something and drowing out the world with music
and text has been /liberating/ for some reason.
For now, I'm going to bury myself into figuring out a few things again, and
maybe I'll be able to be a bit more social after a few more days. My social
battery is just too drained for more than idle chatter with my mates as it is,
so general socializing outside of them has been nearly impossible. I'm hoping
that changes before too long.
