I've focused on chess recently and hadn't been fitter. Done well enough in last four tournaments to seriously aspire to the rank of candidate master, but it's not exactly a priority. Being realistic here, it would be months of hard work to get a new badge and briefly see my name in the rankings before I lose interest and drop out of the ass end of Poland's top 500.

Kinda dread going to work again, but I need some kind of metronome in life to not go into a near-autistic spiral on some topic. Work from home will be possible, but I probably shouldn't indulge that for a while. It's a shared office in a sense that a room you could play badminton at is divided into five desk areas and a shared printer. I'll be requisitioning a chalkboard instead of a greaseboard the moment I can, though. Apart from therapy, there were too few constants, and even though I require fewer meds now, fixing biochemistry isn't the same as unscrewing my head.

I found folks to play Delta Green with. We're thinking of porting it to Poland, because our knowledge of the US federal systems is... elective. Enough to wing it, but we know more about UB/SB alone than all your three-letter agencies combined.

The foot now only hurts while running, so that's good.
