Oh man, I've definitely been in that impulsive place before, or so locked into my resentment of how bad things have been that I maintain that mental trajectory even after they've improved. So it helps to remind myself to double check those gut reactions. 😅

The time off has been great! Took care of a lot of erranding that was hanging over my shoulder, to the extent that I am (very tentatively) sidling up to the idea of trying NaNo this year.
