weekly retro #63: there's a lot of depression in this one
this week was a rough one, but before i get into it i do want to say i'm feeling a lot better now. i was carrying the post-period lows with bad news, the anxiety of responsibility, and sweat from a heat wave that passed through. there was a point where i hit a vape - something i don't feel good about, but whatever - to set off the air purifier to get circulation in the room without dragging my depressed body 3 yards to press the button like a normal person would.
