I knew the recovery time for the type of surgery I had towards the end of last month was usually quick, but what I didn't internalize, even when I was writhing in agony the first day, just how tired recovering from even a relatively minor surgery would make me.
Instead of some of the grand plans I'd made for myself when I was deluded, it’s been a subdued but productive few weeks.
First up was my long overdue migration off Gmail. The importance of email in my life has dropped the last few years, but it's still important and I exchange fairly length emails with several friends, even today.
That's created a longer-term project though: Updating my logins and passwords. I also migrated to a new email address along with this change and discovered I have over 400 accounts to update. So, I am deleting unneeded accounts, changing email addresses, etc, a few at a time. I might be done this year.
Then there is my cloud storage. I have settled on how I am going to host my content, and now I engage in the long-term project of unifying the 5 different accounts I have been using. Another 'maybe this year' completion date.
Besides that, my primary goals are my health and finding time to return to meditating. It is hard to remember the person I was when I was meditating an hour a day several days a week in the early 2010s, but I would like to get back there again.
There is more to do, but I am trying not to think about it right now. I was sick and anxious for 7 years when I did not need to be because of a misdiagnosis and my own stubbornness. I have lost so much time. Time is not the point is, though. Progress and improvement are. Recovery.
