the precious commodity eludes me today, of all days, the first weekday after the switch to daylight savings time. wide awake at 5:45, which was actually 4:45 two days ago. no, the cats did not wake me. perhaps I slept too long on Saturday. maybe I have too many puzzles racing around in my brain. I did 4 yesterday: the Spelling Bee, the mini crossword, the Sunday, and a jigsaw puzzle. or it could be my body’s adjustment to the missed SSRI dose on Friday night. still finding a balance.

today I receive my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, and I’m a bit anxious–especially after my “mild prolonged response” to the first one. ’twill be a relief to be protected. by March 22nd. just a little over a year since we shifted to remote work. the year that time stood still.
