I have an excuse this time!

[periegesis]

So, I did sprain my ankle. The sprain got infected. (Yes, that's possible.) There was a medical screwup that I'm not talking about too much because we're probably suing, but I had the infection for over a week before I finally got sent to the hospital. I had two surgeries. I'm on a shit-ton of antibiotics. I got digestive complications from the antibiotics and had to jump through a ridiculous number of hoops to get Pepto-Bismol and to get the hospital to stop trying to give me stool softeners. I got out of the hospital and into orthopedic rehab. I'm finally strong enough to sit up without support for more than about an hour, the last few days, and finally acquired an extension cord so I could actually use the laptop at the desk in my room. Spent yesterday doing lots of various kinds of paperwork. (May have to get a tax extension. Also need to appeal the workers' comp decision, because screw you, all your belief that the world doesn't work that way doesn't change what actually happened to me and that sort of thinking nearly killed me, also I did, in fact, sprain that at work.) Finally have time to post today. Everything hurts but I'm not dead! Not dead is currently a major achievement. Also feeling weirdly guilty that I can't go to a Seder, despite never having formally converted and having almost no religious education from that side of the family growing up. (It's basically because I've Had It with the Church.) And OhShit I have to write a recipe for someone on Patreon. I haven't been able to actually cook for a month. *headdesks internally, because externally there's too many sharp edges and also laptop.*
