A Temporary Inconvenience

 I've been having a minor issue with my health lately. It started last autumn with a cough that I had treated at the urgent care clinic. It seemed to get better, but then progressed to a sore throat over the winter, a swollen tonsil in the spring, and a lump in my neck by summer. To make a long story short, after several visits to doctors, numerous tests, and a surgery later, I've learned that I have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. 

So, I might slow down just a wee bit, for a while. It's really nothing more than a temporary inconvenience, but I'm going to milk it as an excuse to take a break and act lazy for a while. Not long, mind you -- by the time this pandemic quarantine is over, I'll be rested up and back to my full schedule of events.
