Hello, friends.

This blog post is entirely dictated. I'm going to edit it a little bit, but not a lot.

I'm experiencing something in my right and left arms called radial tunnel syndrome. It happens when you overuse your muscles or do something that's too difficult for your frame, which I've done both of these things. Serves me right.

Because my left arm is not as sore as my right arm, I've been trying to do things with my left hand. This list includes things like making pour-over coffee with my left hand, which apparently has five dexterity points to my right hand's one million.

While I can still write and type, it's better if I don't do it as much as I normally do, so I'm going to be using this dictation tool a lot in the next couple of weeks. It should make for interesting copy.

That's really all this post is, a quick update about how my posts are going to read strangely for the next little bit. I hope you enjoy, and don't overwork yourselves.

Things I Wrote While Trying to Write about the Protest
I’ve been trying all morning to articulate my thoughts and feelings around protesting, the news, and everything else.

I’ve been on a quest for a tiny sliver of local adventure, because grand adventure is not available at the moment.
