I woke up last Friday feeling off. Like about to have a cold. There was a touch of scratchy throat, a little bit of coughing, and a slight feeling of fever.

Minor stuff. But it lasted all weekend, and today.

I didn't let it slow me down much, doing some shopping, a 'gig' (really a gig cancellation party for the band, and capping it all off with the Sunday night jam I go to regularly. 

Some progress was made getting things sorted for my sister-in-law. 

I ended up with what I'm thinking of as an ambivalent weekend.

Because I didn't get sick. I felt well enough to do my activities. I enjoyed myself, but sometimes I didn't.

The whole time, I was fairly preoccupied with my new understanding of what it means to be an introvert, fascinated by this new insight, finding how neatly I fit into that definition. Hard to believe it came from a four-panel comic!

I'm grateful for my still-expanding self-knowledge.

As I mentioned above, I've been feeling a bit 'off' health-wise, and my appetite is down. The last time I saw a weight this low was near the end of a ten-day illness in the Fall of 2019.
