So this past week has seen me pretty much flat out due to zero energy. I had more energy when I was flattened by COVID-19. But hey, I will try again this week.

🎶I am in two steps too deep
A hundred miles too far gone
How did I catch what I was running away from
It was the last thing I wanted
Now it's all I want🎶
