Excessive

A large number of things have made it so I stopped writing, ranging from large, life altering things, to smaller, more hobby related things.

Back at the end of July, Bekki and I went to I4C, the international cool climate chardonnay festival, which we promptly picked up COVID. The day we got home it hit us, and the next morning we were out. It was basically a full week of near hallucination level sickness, both Bekki and I were down for the count, both kids basically taking care of themselves. That whole stretch really messed up my ability to find time to write, and had long lasting health effects, including taste, smell and shortness of breath issues (as well as perhaps blood pressure issues).
