Sitting at the kitchen table with a coffee beside me and a cat draped around my shoulders.
Just got back from having blood drawn in preparation for an endocrinologist appointment later this week. It didn’t take long at all — half an hour, including drive time — but I’m now feeling much more awake than I usually do at this time of day. I suspect it’s the combination of having to drive myself there, being outside (albeit briefly) in the brisk darkness of early morning, and having to interact with other people in person.
As soon as I hit Publish on this quick check-in, it’ll be back to the usual routine of working from home.
