Hey there, {name}. Earlier this week, I caught something not fun and was out of "the office" for a few days. It felt almost narcoleptic how many times I'd just fall asleep somewhere in my house for an hour before getting up and moving 20 feet before doing it again.

I'm about 85% better now, though, so that's good news!

It made for a relatively-unproductive week for The WP World, though. The focus is still some stability improvements to help set the groundwork for some bigger ideas in 2025. Stick with me for those, it's going to be fun!
