A May Reset

Hi. It's been a while. I have a good excuse, though, and that is that my medical issues did not get better. In fact, it got pretty bad for a stint there, which also contributed to my depression, and so I pretty much took all of April off from, well, everything. I stopped blogging; I stopped journaling/planning; I stopped writing/working. The only things I managed to do were some essential household chores like dishes and laundry. And, yeah, that was why I disappeared for the past month.
However, I have recovered! At least physically. Mentally it's another issue, but I'm taking steps to get it addressed, so not the most pressing right now. I am getting back to my regular routine, so hopefully soon I will be able to go back to writing. I am tackling coding today, though. There are just so many other things I have to do now that I took a month off. Most are large chores like vacuuming the entire house, dusting the entire house, organize all the stuff I haven't been able to get to, cook, plus I have life chores like make more doctor appointments, go to the DMV, you know, annoying bureaucracy things. Sometimes, seriously, I wonder how anyone get anything done in the short daytime hours. Just a few things could take up so much of your time that you felt like you've accomplished nothing even though at the same time you felt like already tackled a mountain. Oy.
Sidenote: I am considering restarting posting monthly playlists again. I did that before, listing out all the music I've got in the background in the course of a month. Nowadays I listen to white or brown noise more often than not (because I've got this annoying tinnitus!), but I have been delving into full albums (the new Taylor Swift and Beyoncé ones, at least) again, so perhaps I should post them for myself, for fun, again?
