Immediate Past and Immediate Future
===================================

Yesterday was my last day at my now former gig. Monday is my first
day at my new job. The wrap up was an unsatisfying and isolating as
the job itself was these last two months. At the end of the meeting,
the facilitator said something like, "And today is dozens's last day,
so thanks for all the work you've done!" And as I started to launch
into a "thank you and farewell" speech, everybody left the meeting
and it ended, and there I was stuck holding the bag.

Oh well. Excited for the new job to start on Monday.

Wish I had a slightly better idea of what to do when I start. Some
kind of first day agenda would be nice. But, excited nonetheless.


Now
===

Going to get a flu shot today. I don't think I've ever gotten a flu
shot before. And I doubt my getting one will really help actually
increase herd immunity or anything, because I plan on not being
around anybody this fall / winter. But, I have resolved to do my
part.


The Recent Past
===============

Went for a run yesterday. Felt great. Went a little farther than I
usually do. I've been feeling cooped up and bottled up for what feels
like maybe two weeks now? It had been so dreadfully hot. And then the
air quality was profoundly bad. And then it started snowing.

Yesterday was the first time in a while that it felt Nice. One of
those magic, perfect autumn days where it feels like you can just go
foverever, and only ever stop because you want to, not because you
get tired or out of breath.
