Well, hello there. How are you?
I’m back!
What was originally going to be a week-long break turned into two weeks of taking it easy and staying offline to recover from my parathyroidectomy (aka throat/neck surgery).
I’m admittedly not 100% back yet—that’s why this week’s essay is so short—but I’m well enough to get back into (some) consistent work and writing. I’m excited to share more details about the surgery and the recovery process when I have more time and energy to write next week.
With love and all the other good things,
