Finally Caught the Bug

Be back real soon

I apologize that it’s been a minute since I’ve published anything. After 4 1/2 years of avoiding it (through sheer good fortune, not through taking any actual precautions), my whole household caught Covid. That has meant having my almost-4-year-old home from daycare for the past week-and-a-half straight and counting, alongside our newborn. Then on top of that, a couple days ago our cat got sick and had to go to the emergency room (he’s fine), so we’ve been juggling that, as well.

For the purposes of this newsletter this has all meant that I’ve gotten basically no writing done since my last post, or any other professional work for that matter, or really much reading or thinking, either. I do have an idea I’ve been ruminating on during my rare and brief moments of respite — say, in the bathroom, or while driving to the drug store — that I thought about writing on, but it’s half-baked at best. Probably better to spare you my inchoate ramblings and wait until I’ve had time to either fully form my thoughts, or do some reporting on something worth your while.

So that’s all to say please bear with me while I slog through this prolonged moment of domestic chaos. I hope it’ll be over soon.
