I am pretty sure I can't pass on this crud at this point, but a combo of spring allergies and throat irritation means a worry-sounding cough. Focus is still not great.
Fuck, I usually can write on certain types of trips and that did not happen in NYC and since getting back I've most been sick. I refuse to write off this month, writing wise. I will have something to show for it, somehow. Tho, fuck, these sets back are making me feel like the idea of me accomplishing anything is a bad joke.
* Decided that I needed to get out and about today, so I went to a queer book swap:


I've been wanting a physical copy of The Ninth House so that was cool to get. Some of what I dropped off got snapped up fast, which was cool. I really like this whole book trading/swapping ecosystem taking off. In some of my book club discords people offer up books a lot. Also, it makes picking up new books feel less frought, because if it's a bad pick for me I know where to pass my copy along.
* I saw Sinners last night! I feel like the movie is still hitting me.
I may post a review in a bit, but like... if you haven't seen it, remember Coogler used to make Marvel movies. Do not leave as soon as the credits roll. Most of my theater did I was like ... nah, I don't feel like being nice.
* I will actually do the rest of my NYC trip posts soon. The 'organize pictures' part of my brain seems to share a setting with the 'writing' part of my brain.
* I do feel a lot better than I did, and getting out and walking I think helped.

I'm so excited to see Sinners. That was our plan for Tuesday, until the truck crapped itself, so now I'm hoping it'll happen this week.
