September 28 - Swamp Dust

There's no recording of this one. It's included in the book as a "this is how far we've come", and I might as well use it for that purpose.

Four months ago: Coming up on the end of May I was still trying to adjust to life post-secondment. My wife was doing better after a long bout of doing worse. I thought I had an idea of what I wanted to do as my November novel but hadn't worked on it at all yet, and I was probably burning out a lot more badly than I knew.

Fourteen years ago I was a fucking mess. We were in the aftermath of a bereavement, had just moved house without really wanting to, and were in a complicated situation around our house in the US. We weren't sad exactly, but we weren't doing great. A lot of highs have got better since then, a few things haven't changed.

This is unrelated, but one of my favourite wrestlers passed away today. We don't know what from, just that it was sudden and no foul play is suspected. Anyway, his theme music was a bop.
