Today

- Absolutely REKT when I got home
- Still feeling a bit weird now, 5 hours later
Something that correlates with these stats is my general mood and mental health. Then, I had a good memory, clear head, and felt motivated. Now, I can't remember anything, find it hard to think clearly a lot of the time, and it takes real effort to get anything done.
It's not all on me: a pandemic, lockdowns, and a rocky personal life have all led me where I am, but I know I can get back to where I was and beyond.
