A weekly note

Hello.

✑

I’ve been working through some annoying rhomboid / trapezius pain over the last several days, so the best thing to do on a Sunday afternoon is definitely to stand in front of this computer and write a note for the first time since April.

✑

This stretch has been helpful.

Things happened in May, June, July, and August, but that’s all so long ago. It’s September and the air has been feeling just a bit autumnal for a couple weeks. There’s something about the slightly shorter days that seems to take the edge off of a hot day and we’ve been lucky to have not had many hot days overall.

A+ summer, really. Looking forward to fall.

I made it to WordCamp US. It was so entirely great to see everyone. It’s very strange to not see friends for almost 4 years and then sit down, start talking, and feel like it was only months ago.

The after-“party” was at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, which was a very cool venue. I had my Lyft drop me off at the Lincoln Memorial so I could get a nice walk in and see the sights. It was worth it.

And this is not really a complaint, but it’d be nice if the next WCUS is in a city rather than a weird outlying conference-town. D.C. or Alexandria proper would have led to more interesting morning walks and likely much better coffee.

✑

Because of course everyone at a WordCamp shares my desire for good coffee.

Also! It’s been 7 days since I got home, so I think it’s safe to say that I remain Covid-free. :knock-on-wood:

There’s much more I’d like to write here, but writing itself seems very much like a tight muscle. These notes flow so easily when I’m in a groove.

I’m not now, of course, but I’ll get there again. Just keep stretching!

Welcome back. Until next week! Etc… 🍻
