Feeling fried. Behind at work, been sick for a week and a half. Taking Thursday through Monday off for some climbing, which won't help with getting fully past this illness. Then climbing again Tuesday and maybe Wednesday, and a trip north next Saturday and Sunday. It's all really, really exciting stuff, but I'm getting in a bit over my head right now, and it's stacking up. Really I just need to not be sick. Still not very interested in dating? Have a couple of friends who want me to meet their friends, in a very complicated way, because one of these people splits time between TX and OR, and the other splits time between VT and elsewhere. Both are climber-first kind of people. So there's that.
On the other hand, there can be benefits in a relationship that's at least partly remote. Allows plenty of self-care time.
