Current Distractions, July 2020 Edition

Even though I've been posting consistently, I feel like I've been neglecting the blog due to the fact that I've burned through my buffer of scheduled posts and am currently posting my regularly scheduled content the day before it's due to post. I do still have a very large buffer of reviews, but I still don't like to be in this position. In addition to that, I have lots of thoughts about coronavirus that I've wanted to post and haven't had time to articulate, and that sucks! Fortunately the world isn't relying on me to document this event. Less fortunately, I'll have lots of time to get to these posts because we're going to be in the midst of this global pandemic for quite some time yet.

The earlier part of July was taken up with a ton of overtime at work. I'm now trying to just enjoy the rest of the summer if I can. Open water swimming is tougher around my current city than I'd like it to be, but swimming is lower on my priority list these days. I have my week long summer holiday staycation coming up soon, and I'm really looking forward to that.
