Me: clears schedule as much as possible next week to get writing done.
The universe: sends 10000 e-mail requests to "quickly read through this".
Also as a special bonus, bout of BPPV (https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/benign-paroxysmal-positional-vertigo-bppv), a.k.a. my personal carnaval ride in my own brain. (Fortunately this looks mild so I expect to be fine in a day or two but man, this is not fun).
I'm holding the line on reading; I need some focus time. Stuff can wait another week.
