Done Since 2024-06-23
Not a bad week. Four walks (one very short), and five! guitar practice sessions (all very short, but I'm trying to get my calluses back in shape.) Some good conversations with support people; see Monday in particular. This will be a bit short, because I'm leaving soon with N and j for two weeks in Leiden and Den Haag.
I should be excited, but I'm mostly worried about how my bladder is going to handle the trip.
