My thoughts are no longer cohesive. Given how little gap there is between how thoughts flow in my mind and how I write here on this blog, this has meant perhaps that my last few posts have stopped being as cohesive as well. I’m sorry. Maybe it’s a sign I need to take a pause and really think if a blog post needs to go out into the world before I hit the publish button.

Anyway, 2.5 more work weeks this month – before I take an extended medical leave from my workplace. Wish me luck! Already a bit apprehensive about how I’m going to manage my return to office given how lengthy this gap will be, and what my current mental and emotional state is. I should be calm and excited. Instead, I’m feeling like I’ve entered a depressive episode and I’m dealing with anxiety, loneliness, and many other emotions I thought I had a better handle on by now.
