Been feeling fairly cruddy for the past few days - trying to just accept it and not let our usual "everything is fine" coping mechanisms kick in.

(Interestingly, that same coping mechanism managed to outright cloak whatever self-perception made us able to see our system members as existing - makes me wonder if a big component of us figuring out we were plural this year and not earlier is just better mental health.)

Still alternating Fitness Boxing and ... just, random aerobics in the back yard for exercise. Mosquitoes are becoming a thing here, which is frustrating.

We've mostly been just thinking about things - PICO-8 programming ideas, mostly.

Hope y'all are coping.
