* Friday, my body was being difficult in ways that I counted as a soft veto on my planned foraging. This was the right decision, I think, given how long it took to accomplish basic tasks even with decent sleep. You can see how little I accomplished here on the Internet. I was supposed to be super short sleeped for Saturday due to RL social commitments, but that got cancelled for illness.

I would like to remind those of you out there with medically fragile friends, that cancelling things for illness is the kind and decent thing to do, and that I, as someone with a dysfunctional immune system that is more interested in deconstructing bits of my body it doesn't like than fighting disease, really appreciate that my friends take this seriously and stay away, usually with reasonable notice, when they are sick.
